Who cares about any of that? You've read what I wrote? And decided that I'm saying Joshua is better than Lewis or has a better record. Not the case.

I'll run with it for the sake of argument. Compare what we can compare. 24 fights. Who has the better record after 24 fights?

Lewis had a second career if you like post McCall. Joshua almost certainly wont have that. In that respect Lewis will separate himself in terms of CV. But even now. The 24 fights Joshua has had, is enough for me to say he more than competes with anything Lewis fought, and beats the overwhelming majority of those that Lewis did.
I am saying that AJ has avoided huge punchers like Wilder and probably would have avoided Razzor and Bruno who were no better because he may have gotten beaten. I can not see AJ beat Mercer under the conditions Lennox faced which was a small ring and hostile New York crowd.
Given his record and the fights he’s taken. It’s bordering on insane for anyone to suggest he’s ducked anyone. Would have avoided Bruno
Lennox fought the best version of Bruno, Frank had beaten seasoned top contenders to get to Lennox, he also gave Lewis hell early in the fight. AJ has been hurt by Whyte, Wlad and Ruiz so could see him be worried with big punchers.
