Re: The historic card be on 23rd December.
Yeah case in point for me Lennox Lewis. Great champion no doubting that, and fully deserving of a place in anyone's top ten heavyweights ever. But he's a three time champ because he suffered one punch knockout loses to average at best fighters in Rahman and McCall. The glossing over has been done with those and the tag line 'beat every man he's ever faced' has been applied. But the bottom line is, he's 1-1 with both of them and never established superiority over either. Massive question mark over the McCall 'win'.
Joshua will become a three time champ, no doubting that. But it'll be because he got spanked by a round guy, and a guy who a couple of fights previous went life and death with Derek Chisora.
