Lennox Lewis v Antony Joshua

[Fenster]

As for Lennox.... AJ is lying on his back with a big goofy grin about 2 minutes after the opening bell, about 50 seconds later the ref is motioning to the corner as he struggles to keep the big lump upright.

I'd agree Lennox stops AJ at this stage.

Yeh AJ is definitely not near a peak and had not began to learn or show major adjustments imo until mid point of the Wlad fight. Ironically AJ reminded me of the aloof version of Lennox at times in his last fight. Wasn't putting shots together, jab was half ass and was reacting and talking up Takam. At this point Lewis balls AJ like he was dirty laundry and leaves him in a heap. One thing I never thought I'd say so clear cut is that Lennox was just way to fluid for him right now. In fairness though at similar point in his career Lewis was looking so-so after pole axing Ruddock. I don't think he found his stride really until Morrison, the war with respected Mercer..even though the long jabber was out jabbed by a stocky bulldozer ..and McCall getting all teary eyed in 'revenge' rematch. AJ has a massive future but in the back of my mind I just hope he doesn't get too far ahead of himself, inside and outside of the ring, as he refines his tools along the way.

The problem with historic matches is the rose colored glasses. People make lazy statements that dumb things down like Lennox took people lightly, against X Y or Z he wouldn't. Lennox was lazy, if anyone could tell who he would take lightly it wouldn't have happened.

Bruno was beating the snot out of him and he was about to go until he landed a miracle punch.

Vital was pummeling him.

Rahman set him up and took him out.

McCall knocked him out with a punch that was planned before the fight.

Point being, he wasn't perfect. But he is without a doubt one of the greatest ever. AJ has not proven that yet so you have to pick LL

peak for peak, FFS Lewis BLOWS THAT LIL BOY'S WET CHEEKS OUT in about 4 rounds.

[Mark TKO]

AJ goes same way as Michael Grant

Consider how LL despatched Gary Mason early in his career and almost laughed at GMs lunges.

Nothing AJ can do, he would get Ass handed to him no matter how much better he gets over his career.
