Does AJ deserve to be a more chrerished boxer in Britain than either Lennox or Bruno?

[MartialMind]

Don't think Lennox nor Bruno got the love in the UK like AJ does, is that fair?

- -None of them were the unified Colossus defending unified belts in front of record setting Wembley gates.

What part of excellence don't you understand?

[The Old LefHook]

Of course he does, man. He's got more muscles than either of them.

Joshua has a natural smaller more petite bone structure in comparison to Lennox Lewis. 'During the 90's, america was still a giant in the heavyweight division' so fighters such as Bruno & Lewis who courageously tackled the america's will probably always get more respect than Anthony Joshua.

But that can soon change providing he unifies all the heavyweight titles.

If it wasn't for the heavy focus on weight training and related "supplements", he wouldn't look very naturally broad.

Unify the title, then defend it and the guy will get love worldwide, not just in the UK.

Lewis fought for Canada in the Olympics, think that left a sour taste for many people and is a reason he didn't cause the hype / have the following we usually have around our boxers when he finally did identify more as a Brit. AJ is more cherished for that reason.

He has a naturally more petite waste, I have heard Carl Froch pointing this out 'That is why he appears muscle bound, due to gaining most of his size from having muscle upon muscle. No doubt he is still a super-heavyweight he is just not as big as people make out, none of the super-heavyweights are these days. 'Fury is tall but he is not built like a truck' Both of the Kiltschhko had big structures.

Wilder in some dimensions has a bigger bone structure 'Then Anthony Joshua'. Lennox Lewis was a very heavy ruggedly built man in terms of structure, when he fought Bruno he was 229 pounds? But at that kind of weight you could see his structure more vividly.

Lol @ Bruno. He's not in this conversation.

Yes but young Lewis was very narrow himself:


His clavicles and rib cage expanded at a relatively late age.

That picture was taken before 1984 most likely, so Lennox Lewis was literally a child. 'Joshua in those pictures is pretty much a man' Joshua has put muscle upon muscle, he has not grown as much as Lennox Lewis did in comparison to that photograph etc

Even in 1984, you can still see how much bigger Lennox Lewis's frame is naturally 'And he is only a kid there'.

I am aware that the video is no longer available, will look for a new one.
