Can Joshua become greater than Lennox?

Thoughts?!

First thought is Joshua definitely looks to have better footwork early on. Looks quicker but can have some amateur patterns. Lennox was so calm cool and collected. Way too early for Joshua to tell. At almost same stage he was face planting Razor Ruddock on Halloween night. A heavyweight tournament final four of the very best of the era. And stuff like that makes you a believer.

Yes, one step at a time. He needs to dispatch tough, but crude Molina quickly IMO and I think he will.Joshua and Errol Spence are the two most talented young prospects I've seen in a while.Joshua is the most promising heavyweight in a decade. Tremendously skilled and has the size and power to boot. "A finely tuned athletic machine" to quote the movie, "The Waterboy".

I think they're comparable. Lewis was a more natural athlete for me. From where Joshua is now Lewis just basically went on a who's who of 90's heavyweight boxing. There were a few duff fights, the two blips, but his career was exceptional.

At the same stage of their career Lewis was Brit/Euro champ but you could argue that he had fought better people.

Yes Lennox opposition was much better quality for me - but again as we keep saying a different era for heavyweights with much more talent about.

We'll be able to judge him better when he gets in with a Wilder, Klitschko , Haye etc... or even someone like Jennings.

And what will happen when he's in a fight where it's not going his way ? That's when we'll find out a lot (Still angers me the people who say a prime Tyson was better than Ali etc. )

Can't fault him at all for where he is now though - bit I will moan that he's gone on ppv too early

Lewis fought in the second greatest era of HW boxing (the 90s), so it's hard to say at this stage.

Joshua hasn't fought anyone, or learned his trade yet & he's already a so-called 'HW champion of the world'!

One thing I can say is that Joshua looks better than Lewis did early on in his career, as Lennox was reckless & over reliant on his big Right hand which led to his ultimate demise against McCall.

Saying that, Joshua has not beaten anyone to date as good as Gary Mason & Lewis did that in his 14th fight.
