[@ajvf]

Almost 10 years beating everybody and not avoiding anybody like some boxers do today and at 41 years old he still has this kind of performance and still behaves like such a gentleman.. People do not say very often but.. Wladimir Klitschko is a legend!..

[@samarmstrong1149]

He is a legend. I love the guy. But he avoided Fury for 4 years.

[@mikejulz87]

ajvf Those 10 years he never really had competition. He was just fighting anyone that was put in front of him. Right up until late when better boxers Furys and Joshuas have just started out. But this guy is already a legend no matter what.

[@mybrotherkeeper1484]

Julius Lemuelu one thing tho--he fought some hungry up-and-comers like Calvin Brock--he was no joke and Wlad finished his career. He didn't dodge any

[@MrRoccoMarchegiano]

not avoiding? dude never took a single vol. It took him like 8 years to get Pov in the ring with him. He certainly avoided trouble and hid underneath mandos who became top ten overnight and are not relevant today.

[@reubanc7317]

MrRoccoMarchegiano have you ever bin in the ring and had 1 fight ?

[@MrCaptinhook]

What a guy Nothing but respect for him Top of the game for 20 years

[@sigmundfreud1808]

MrCaptinhook how much is the memory stick with his prediction on it? absolutely priceless humiliation at its finest

[@DrunkSince1973]

Yeah top of the game fighting nobodies.

[@arautus]

You still couldn't name any American heavyweights who could hang with him.

[@brutalsubzero420]

Peter Smith I mean what do you expect..boxing is full of nobodies

[@warpriest79]

MrCaptinhook Lenox lewis

[@tylerdurden786]

10+ years as Heavyweight Champion of the world. 50+ knockouts. Finally beaten at the age of 40+ by Fury and Joshua. You're a legend Klitschko, fuck the internet so called boxing experts.

[@rwilliams1281]

great press conference.. no ego, no excuses, just honest insight.

[@mryeboah5119]

This guys attitude is great, hats off to his performance

[@michaelmichael2121]

I agree but you have to admit his conduct here is pure class. I'm even starting to believe he'll do the impossible-execute the rematch clause and KO Joshua

[@sitefms]

J 1 how is that a humilating defeat...a 41 year old fighting a 27 year old whos in his prime...knocked aj down and showed his experience throughout the entire fight... 😂😂

[@beardtrick]

J 1 you really are thick as shit

[@dapskool1573]

You are blind to yourself. Klitschko brothers were respectable in the public and their private lives are well tailored. Grow up and know the truth between a real champion and a loser

[@kalvink100]

I totally agree, he has won my utmost respect.

[@dapperdonmilli]

forget boxing, Wlad is one of the classiest athlete of all time!!

[@tjp_real]

Yeah, him and his brother Vitali.

[@SchweinAusStein]

Correct, don`t forget Vitali.

[@tjp_real]

yes, but Vitali's stoppage due to a cut was a completelly different story than Wladimir losing to AJ.

[@stephendewar2419]

dapperdonmilli

[@muyisa22]

[@nordicwarrior5014]

Wladimir is a legend of boxing. It took 2 defeats in his 40s against younger bigger guys for the boxing public to realise his greatness. I hope he retires now he has nothing more to prove.

[@sportsfan3647]

NordicWarrior same

[@alnadaf]

Sports Fan a lot of fans hated on Wlad, me included, but he fought a perfect fight against Haye and worked his jab beautifully and took Haye to school. He miscalculated Fury, but fought amazingly against Joshua and would have beaten anyone else on the night.

[@timothyoreilly6571]

Honestly, I think he could have beat Joshua, he definitely had the stuff.

[@princekelvin6476]

He is a legend but even in is prime Tyson fury would have beaten him

[@ryansaputra979]

NordicWarrior

[@veterannoob3925]

Full credit to wladimir klitschko! YKU ABSOLUTE LEGEND let's not forget he's 41 and hasn't fought since fury and was close to beating someone who is young, active & in their prime. BIG RESPECT!! been a pleasure watching such a class athlete full credit to Joshua for the win but I think they need to be a little less cheesy and a little less big headed (it is what it is) no way to speak to a boxing legend

[@icycold910]

That's the thing, aj isn't in his prime just yet

[@irishsam3862]

KLITSCHKO is a True Gentleman and an Ambassador for the sport .

[@fredinatub]

And a good ambassador for PEDS as well

[@kievach889]

[@LimerickR266]

Wlad is a Legend... plain and simple... A true champion

[@IronMan-qi3yg]

[@happyChappy96621]

This guy is a really gentleman of boxing, a true legend of boxing.

[@voltaspeeder17]

It's so nice to see so much love for this great heavyweight champion, although most of the people here are AJ fans. That's called RESPECT and i salute you all! This fight DESERVES a rematch, it could be another potential classic!

[@persionlamb]

No rematch necessary. If Klitschko couldn't win it here he won't be able to do it again. Joshua has learned lots from this match and will only do better next fight.

[@abdelhakandaloussi9626]

John Smith . Yes, totally agree in addition Vladimir is older than AJ and this is another point that prove your says.

[@incDesignz]

but everybody knows, that klitschko would kick his ass in his prime, but that was a great fight, and good end for klitschko to lost the last fight against aj

[@lew3516]

💥IMPORTANT💥 This is the mark of a TRUE champion. Wlad, your a respected man amongst the greatest of men. A true warrior a true gladiator. As a British man fully supporting AJ tonight, you won the support of 90k true boxing fans. You are the man and I salute you sir.

[@MaxCooperJones]

these two are worthy of respect in the highest order whenever this sport is mentioned. such gentlemen. both AJ and Klitchsko.

#LETSGOCHAMP

[@chefdeworld8589]

LETSGOCHAMP

[@ponderer23]

A true gentleman! He showed heart and courage. Man took some serious shots that would have knocked out 85% of the heavyweights in the world. Great chin. Don't retire Wlad!

[@WelshChappie]

Agreed. The perception was Wladimir = Glass Chin that if hit and drops Him, no desire or courage to get back up. This fight, His chin took some big A.J rights and when those rights did drop Him, He got up and made it therough round 5 having had 2 minutes+ left as He beat the first count. Wlad didn't quit on the floor nor give up on His feet, He was deemed unable to defend Himself and the Ref stopped Him on His feet. And I have to admit, I was expecting Wlad to throw a right, jump on A.J to smother, throw left hook, Jump on A.J in clinch like He's done in previous fights like against the likes of Alex Povetkin. In this fight, despite A.J's 18 fights, 18 wins, 18 wins via KO record, Wladimir never once spoiled the fight by diving on A.J and stood in front of Him looking for His own 'Steel-Hammer' to find it's range which, in round 6, it did and put A.J on His back. A Wlad 5, maybe 7 years younger would have gone in and finished the job cause if there was one thing Wlad did brilliant it was know how to stop an opponent when He''s hurt Him. He threw a few follow up punches by none with the punch picking accuracy He would have 10 years ago. In losing, Vitali said of His younger sibling: In terms of the fight itself and how Wlad boxed and Got chinned and hit the deck only to get off the deck, see out a round and onslaught by A.J and come out the next round and slam a right hand home of His own that was no flash knock down but a heavy knock down which Saw the Ref's count get upto Eight before A.J got back to His feet, Vitali said that is the best performance He's ever seen Wladimir give in a boxing ring even though He lost the fight in the 11th and said He is exceptionally proud of the way Wlad fought and said for Him and His Brother the result was wrong (meaning not what they wanted), but said despite losing the fight, that was the best He's ever seen Wlad box in His career. A.J said when Michael Buffer was introducing the two in ring that He noticed Vitali was giving Him such a cold and icy stare that it took His attention off Wladimir for a few moments. No disrespect to A.J but a Vitali 10 years ago vs A Joshua Of Today? Joshua would have a record post Vitali Fight of 19 Fights, 18 Wins with 1 defeat.

[@johannsebastienbach]

ponderer23 honestly aj hits nowhere as hard as wlad hit him. wlad chin was weak and if his brother is there he wont even blink on those punches

[@grahamtaylor8912]

johannsebastienbach....So what are you trying to say? You know fk all about boxing?

[@stephengerrard1120]

Klitschko is a fine ambassador for the sport of boxing.

[@TheComedyColosseum]

As an Englishman you gotta say Wladimir is such a fucking class act, I fully salute him he shouldn't beat himself up to much he is aging and he has had an amazing career, like I said I'm a Englishman though so well done A.J team uk 🇬🇧 🙌🏻

[@gladifly]

Old Gregg Anthony Joshua isn't an Englishman, traitor.

[@ayetkhairzad6959]

Old Gregg fuck you

[@Tehui1974]

That was the best performance I've seen from a 41 year old in any weight class.

[@bp6837]

Tehui1974 true. a 41 yo able to kd that young opponent.

[@drake6god985]

George forman at the age of 42 against holyfield or when he beat a world champion at 45 and he was well out of shape

[@crossy8529]

What about bernard hopkins

[@Tehui1974]

I forgot about Bernard Hopkins. Good point.

[@PharticusMaximus]

Huh? Bernard hopkins beat great fighters all through his 40s almost til 50 lol. Watch more boxing.

[@bayly1977]

funny how he NOW gets the respect he deserves

[@uziumar5362]

right? after 2 straight losses... Wlad was always a great and classy champ. unlike the wannabe thugs we got running around today with ZERO respect for anyone...

[@MrRoccoMarchegiano]

Yeah, it is. Funny how people forget so quickly. I'm consistent, Wlad ain't shit.

[@sensei-lr4cj]

MrRoccoMarchegiano good for you! here's a cookie.

[@parmdeeppuri2981]

tbh this is the realist i've seen Wlad. If you've ever seen some of his interviews he's a bit too righteous. He was incredibly personable and thats why the public seem to have a warm reaction to him

[@waitingisfun]

This is the difference between winners and champions. He might not be the winner, but he definitely is a champion.

[@TM-kj2sb]

what a legend. this is true sportsmanship

[@nicksheps1]

What a fight. So happy for AJ & big respect for Wlad.

[@kathman6952]

[@dondraper4438]

Congrats Wladimir, a legend of the sport. Good luck to Joshua for his future title defenses as well.

[@hazbutt1488]

james varte I didn't say it did I'm just saying Bernard Hopkins had performed better Im not saying nothing bad bout klitschko

well yeah u did your making a comparison between them both when there both warriors for carriying on performing in those later years

[@scubarick1]

gotta love this guy....so much class

Lot of respect for this guy after a loss. Other people can learn from him.

[@alexkruger5234]

He is a politician. He knows how to catch you with words.

[@alexkruger5234]

@It doesn’t matter What your name is no, to be honest, whats inside the ring is irrelevant. How you behave to human, how you life your life is important. And politcians are liars. All of them! No exeptions!

Got to respect Vlad True Champion

[@youseframzan8148]

Much respect wlad! ❤

[@141sicario]

He's top guy and very gracious in defeat no excuses the true mark of a champion

[@akbarkhujakholikov1811]

Wladimir Klitschko is a good fighter and champion. My private opinion is that he must leave in a ring because it is time to obtain him retire and be enjoy his life. I wish he would just retire and enjoy his life. Good luck Mr WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO

[@Highskill3r]

if u fight like that its no shame to lose.

[@alanpower8234]

if he leaves boxing he will be remembered as a champion by klitchko and Joshua fans and all fight fans.

[@a.ramsodit958]

So much respect for this Gentleman!

[@paulmcgrouin9157]

Great job both men, actually cements Wlads legacy and gave AJ a huge lesson at the same time, right result for boxing future, great entertainment for all us boxing fans.

[@dangermouse_]

Take the rematch Wlad. I reckon the USB said Klit would stop him in round 11 or 12 and he was trying to be clever so didn't finish him when he had chance in round 7 or 8. Can't see any other reason why he didn't go for the kill when AJ was blowing out his arse for two rounds.

[@allcovered919]

fightfan 87 mate I agree but he played himself

[@jamieboi11]

Yep, baffled me that did, have no idea why he didn't slaughter AJ, he gave him two full rounds to recover.

[@scubarick1]

doubt he predicted those late rounds as his average win is Round 6 (He began turning it on in R5)

[@dangermouse_]

I'm probably completely wrong but just a funny feeling I got when Wlad said he was sure it was going to be his night so took his time when AJ was blowing

[@ps5stuffguy]

fightfan 87 That was a big error from Wlad then but I doubt this idea you have.

[@yuvanath]

These are the type of people that need to win in life... Way to go Wlad

[@spinksy173]

Respect! A true sportsman!

[@markrhoden2114]

in his prime, in his prime. who cares, you can only fight the man standing in front off you. Klitschko never makes excuses, he never sez 'in my prime I could have.....' why do people feel they need to make excuses for, you disrespect him by saying such things. he is/was a great champion that's it! well done AJ and nicely done Mr Klitschko

[@NazTheGreat]

Mark Rhoden ha, so very true!

[@kinguploader7344]

Mark Rhoden.. but if aj lost then everyone would of said he was not ready right?

[@s.5854]

you don't know and neither do I - it's a silly question to get caught up on. Let's deal with the here and now and what we DO know.

[@evilkidd1876]

Pure Class this man is!! Never have been much of a Klitschko fan.... i am now

[@cammy944]

Top 5 of all time IMO i dont care what anyone says.

[@cammy944]

Mothers are not GOD The guy was 41 and still gave the best prospect in boxing his best fight. The guy was unbeaten from 2004 to 2015. The guy has one of the best knockout ratios in boxing and not to mention his boxing brain. I could go on more.

[@cammy944]

JohnDaWhale2 One of the worst lists ive ever seen.

[@eyessee3962]

where,s tyson?

[@cammy944]

Mothers are not GOD Ali yes, Holmes very underrated but not Top 5 for me i would give Klitschko the edge over Foreman what he did in his latter part of his career was unbelievable but his skillset is not even close to Wladimir.

[@MrTrumpet]

eye see Tyson would definitely be in my top 10, but he's easily the most overrated heavyweight

[@randomryu9117]

Never been a big fan of WLADIMIR KLITSCHKO but last night he showed how good he was 41 came back after 18 months in the shape of his life and nearly did it.

[@BarbaryLion85]

Wlad you are a CHAMP no matter what. AJ is the future.. This guy fought like a lion. The only think is, the other one was a lion too, a young one.

[@ndubuisiukwuani435]

A best comment

[@romanhaban]

big respect Wladimir

[@burt1756]

well done wlad! deserves a rematch if he wants one!!

[@raydology9584]

burt 1 still the second best boxer right now so shouldn't be thinking of retirement just yet.

[@raphaeladeyemijames8037]

burt 1 yeah he shouldn't, he is still highly ranked with other governing bodies if he can't get a rematch with AJ, he should go for parker

[@raphaeladeyemijames8037]

burt 1 Or he should go for WILDER

[@shannonbriggs]

#LETSGOCHAMP #LETSGOCHAMP #LETSGOCHAMP

[@Invizible99]

There is no indication that he wants a rematch. To be honest it was a great fight. I think Wlad was in great shape and came to win. He is still an elite fighter that can beat pretty much all the top HW's. However I strongly believe that he should retire.

[@grayster111gray7]

You rock u might of lost but your a champ a nice guy a good guy and everybody with a good heart respects you awsome performance and a awsome person your one of the greats and that's a FACT !!!!! Josh welldone big fan and again a top nice person that's what matters you both are amazing people respect to you both 👊

[@aziedrench]

Respect. You fought one of the best fights you've had and definitely tried your best as you said. Hope you have one last fight with another opponent because you definitely gained me as a fan.

[@RetroR0bbie]

agreed this was a gain. most exciting fight ive seen Wlad in. Big respect. he went for it.

[@steaminator4569]

Wlad deserves a rematch. He could hae finished him after the knock down thinking AJ would continue to gas. If there is a rematch I call it a 50/50 fight and in Wlad's prime I feel he would of schooled Joshua.

[@chichojohnson5978]

Steaminator First of all Anthony was more gas then a actually knock out after knocking klit out that just showed his inexperienced.Trying to finish the fight.Thats why it take boxers 2 know about boxing not Internet clowns

[@jamielewis2601]

Steaminator you can't say that in his prime he would beat Joshua. Joshua might not be in his prime yet

[@steaminator4569]

first off, if you was a 'boxer' as you claim, you clearly didn't do a good job in the ring, taking too many shots to the head that you do not know how to structure a sentence now. So please try to make sense first you dumb fuck and your mom looks like a clown so don't be using that as an insult. Got it? Ok Bye.

[@chichojohnson5978]

Steaminator Another Internet clown goofy ass nugga.Don't let me come look 4 you blood.Cause u Hidin behind ur computer making u feel comfortable!!

[@steaminator4569]

I made your mum feel uncomfortable. And what?

[@staceymcgrath6971]

one word, Legend!!

[@KrUzEpArX]

[@simonpeters2163]

Well done Vlad great professional. You did yourself proud but please leave the rematch and let the younger heavyweights fight.

[@tngermaine1]

Simon Peters do the younger ones really want AJ ?

[@ElliotTarrant]

+Tigana Germaine I was gunna say the same thing! Not many young ones who can rival AJ right now 😂😂

[@Canel062_]

Simon Peters no, i believe that he HAS to fight the rematch for his ego, he wants the belts back. Holyfield also fought till he was near 50years old and he won his last fights, just saying.

[@RegrettableSpursFan]

Don't think he should rematch, that fight will only have given AJ confidence going deep and I think WK threw the kitchen sink at him and still didn't win..

[@shannonbriggs]

#LETSGOCHAMP

[@makkam999]

KLITSCHKO always carries himself as a professional no matter what. i dont know him personally, but i do respect him

[@andriynahnichuk2959]

When Vladimir was 28 years old, like AJ is now, i think that AJ would have been knocked out like 3rd or 4th round. klitschko was much stronger when he was in his 30th. and AJ would not have been a problem for Vladimir. i think so.

[@Gexrge_OSRS]

That's nice and all but the fact is he isn't 28 anymore. There's no point saying "if this", "if that", facts are facts.

[@dannycool59x49]

the thing about human bodies is everyone's prime is not at the same age

[@RideBikes_Walkplaces]

and tyson would have beaten Anthony then klitschko in the same night!

[@dannycool59x49]

and then foreman would have beaten mike tyson

[@SirOrganic]

No sh*t Shirlock springs to mind.

[@zeez7043]

Amazing athletes . Wlad is such a pro I love how he respects other fighters effort and skill .

[@GetSchanked]

Klitschko could have ended this fight in the sixth or seventh. He thought Anthony would continue to gas. I wouldn't be upset if Klitschko retires now, but I also won't be surprised if he comes back to rematch AJ and possibly wins. He showed he has the heart, chin, obvisouly skill and power, but he underestimated AJ's athleticism and youth. He thought AJ would keep gassing after the knockdown, but AJ's young, he had the energy to recover. If Klitschko would have went after AJ with everything he had like AJ did to him in the 11th, he would have knocked AJ out.

[@michaelyo874]

I think klit predicted he would beat joshua in 12th round so he didnt wanna knock him in 6th... dude lost fight to himself alone he had him on the plate. U can hear from this interview that klit regrets not taking him when he had him.

[@anthonytayo]

GetSchanked But why is everyone talking about Klitchko should had finish the fight. AJ got him too in the 4th and cut him opened and AJ couldn't finish him too, however good fight, I respect both fighter's, am not a klitchko fan but I really admire klitchko performance at 41.

[@dankcaesar4760]

A.A TaYo because Klitschko still had gas after the knockdown but AJ was completely gassed and could hardly keep his hands up after he got knocked down

[@breezowick2737]

So you all just gonna try to take away a big win by KO from AJ? Nope. Not happening a lot of you lowkey racist and bias with your pathetic 5th grade excuses. How the fuck someone ''could of ended a fight'' if they couldn't knock out their opponent ? Shut the fuck up this isn't MMA where you can continue to do damage if someone gets knocked down. In fact how many times did Wlad get knocked down????? Way more!

Nuff respect to vlad true gentleman .

[@MyName-eu5zg]

love this dude he keeps it 💯 on his loss. takes it like a true worrior.

[@francistervil4057]

If Klitschko had fought like that against Fury, he would have won. Klitschko's intensity in that fight was amazing. I'm not a fan of Klitschko, but I respect him a lot after that fight. He got knockdown 3 times and got up and kept punching and not too much clinching like in his previous fights. Joshua will become a force to be reckoned with. He's only 27 years old and fought a future legend in front of 90,000 people and got knockdown, exhausted and he came back winning by TKO. Congrats Joshua!!!

[@ronsmeast4416]

man, this guy is very humbling. respect bruh

[@wawawawar4559]

KLITSCHKO is a great boxer one of the best of all time. I bet at a young age the fight was not going to happen in this way. At 41, against a 27-year-old, this was predictable. I have great respect for the 2 boxers to make them play and mutual respect.

[@Guttlegob]

lord jac --- of course wlad is not in his prime but neither is Joshua. Wlad started to get in his prime in his mid 30s. At Joshuas age he was gettint KOD by the likes of Corrie Sanders.

[@kingfaraaz]

RSheen truee pal

[@AbumihranScreen]

He is a gentle man, doesn't make an issue defeat. Classy, Much respect!!!

[@LucasKingPiano]

Wladimir was scary in that fight, leaping in with that left hook trying to take Joshua's head off, taking huge shots and still standing. He was like a completely different fighter. I would take that Wladimir over any current heavyweight. He didn't look like a guy with a glass chin last night. The fight could've been waved off in the 6th when Joshua was stumbling around dead on his feet. Great win for Joshua though, Wladimir deserves loads of respect for this fight and Tyson Fury's win looks all the more impressive now.

[@swiftlessytvlogs5637]

I honestly believe that was one of the best Klitschko’s we have seen! He wanted to win so badly! His jab looked great, his stamina looked great, so did his chin, he was landing some really hard shots, he used his 1-2 perfectly as well!

[@lukasprikryl3000]

Unfortunately Wladdy is right, he should have pushed harder in 6,7 and 8 round, he could stop him right there. Unfortunately no.2, it's his mentality not to take too much risks.

[@jackbrodnicki5833]

Oh, yeah. .. he could, he would , but unfortunately he didn't... And he is a dead body now...

[@georgefromjungle5211]

He could, he did not, that's all excuses now. He lost, that's it. If he could and did not, that is also his tactical weakness, nobody forced him not to push harder when he should have.

[@tunjilegba]

lukas prikryl I think he didn't want to get caught on the counter or risk gassing himself. It's one of those hindsight questions he will ask himself. I think he felt he could out point him and close off the fight

[@darryljones9013]

George u said it all..

[@jmcjmc2007]

Before watching the fight, I had Vlad on KO. I'd never accept his age as an arguement to losing, the guy is an absolute pro in ever aspect of his life. In saying that, he's in his 40's and nearly cleaned house with the world #1!

I was never his fan but with the way he talk and appreciate every one shows he is great indeed i love him and he has won my heart from today you are a great fighter you did your best today all you need to do is sit and get your self together if there will be a rematch

[@WarriorPleb]

I love to watch MMA but watching AJ and Wlad chat and show so much respect and maturity during pre and post fight stuff is so good. This is refreshing to see.

[@Foralluhaterz]

AJ did great but wladimir is a legend, people expected him to fall early, he lasted 11 rounds

[@kurtisstanley7660]

I love this guy

[@Cj_Sutty]

pure class from him, I was never really keen on him but he's rocketed up in my estimation after this fight, respect

[@spykerhond7008]

One of the best fights in a long time A ticket like that was very good value for the fans, every cent.

[@mandemjnr7605]

This Card would be class: Joshua v klitscko 2 (winner fights fury) Chisora v whyte 2 (winner fights winner out of Ortiz v Briggs) Briggs v Ortiz Buglioni v burton 2 Ohara Davies v josh Taylor

[@asilbekazamat8022]

[@watchman2700]

REMATCH REMATCH REMATCH REMATCH!!!!

[@watchman2700]

I don't think he lacked confidence. I think it was the spotlight he couldn't cope with. Or more accurately, the lack of it. . . (By his own admission )

[@m4ckha427]

Great fight, unbelievable class from both of them .... read through negative comments about age, other fighters being better through the years... who gives a shit, its good to see a fight go to the 11th round and be a slugfess. I envy the the guys and gals who managed to get to Wembly and join the 90k fans for a unforgettable night. Congrats AJ and unlucky Klitschko - piss off wannabee know it all fans ;)

[@pughy79]

What a decent interview. Humble, decent, respectful; hats off.

[@tylerw3205]

this was the first boxing match I have ever bought. im from America and was really brought up around mma, but this was great. I found a huge respect for klitchko and it's crazy how well spoken he is

[@jamieboi11]

Credit to Wlad and AJ, but seriously, anyone who thinks that Wlad SUPER trained for this fight and just rolled out of bed for Fury are fucking idiots, Fury made Wlad look slow and old because Fury has incredible footwork and head movement for a HW, the fastest out there, the reason he looked a lot better in this fight is because of the style, Joshuas defence is his offence, to keep Wlad off he has to walk forward and fight, this made it look a lot better, because Joshua can not do what Fury did, this is facts. Klit v Fury would end in the same way simply because of Furys height, reach and movement, Fury v Joshua would be different because Joshua would be a lot quicker and throw more coming at Fury, Klitschko is so professional that he trains incredibly hard for every fight. The media are so overhyping Joshua it is incredible, credit for him tonight, but people are already calling him the best HW out of Britian ever... Pathetic, it is worrying that Joshua has only been caught about 4/5 times and looked fucked everytime. Personally i wouldn't want to see a rematch, think it ends the same way, simply because age is catching up with Wlad and Joshua is young with power and speed. In my honest opinion Fury beats AJ quite easily, but 90% of british fans will disagree because of the media hype around AJ. Stop taking away Furys credit because he wasn't in a war with Kiltschko, he didn't need to be, that speaks volumes.

[@marc_anton]

Question: What does AJ need to do, in your eyes, to justify the 'media hype'--having failed so far?

[@MrTrumpet]

alfonm he's a great athlete, but his actual boxing skills leave a lot to be desired. I'm a big AJ fan and love his power, but frankly his ring entrance for the fight portrayed him to be something he's not. He's not failed at all, he's knocked out everyone that he's faced he can't do anything better than that, but Fury would still wipe the floor with him because he's not good technically and is basically just an exceptional slugger.

[@marc_anton]

I agree that he has technical flaws. Wlad actually put it well: he's vulnerable. That said, so is Fury. Fury has speed and awkwardness, but has already been knocked down by at least two mediocre fighters (Cunningham and another) in his career with half the power of AJ. There's also a video on KZbin (I can provide the link) where he admits that he was spanked by AJ in sparring and tipped AJ to become a world champ one day. Fury's style worked for Kilt precisely because Klit lacks a killer instinct... So it basically turned into an awkward, hug-fest were Fury was able to use his superior footwork, height and reach. I actually think AJ is all wrong for Fury and will plough through his soft body and chin. AJ's weakness, as Wlad showed, is his vulnerability to KO power and that is not something that Fury possesses much of. Even though Wilder is technically one of the worst heavyweights in recent memory, I actually think he's AJ's biggest threat. His power is clear and once he knocks someone down he is spiteful and unrelenting. If Fury ends up "wiping the floor" with AJ then I will give you full respect for seeing what I can't, but I seriously doubt it. Hopefully, to be continued.

[@alberthoury5403]

You are right dude, fury beated Wlad with skill and exposed him, and AJ just had the will and power to land his bomb and win the fight but Fury showed way more skill and talent

[@IsleofWightYellow]

Wlad wouldn't have 'rolled out of bed' for Fury, true, but it's human nature that he approached that fight like he would any normal fight, and then after the loss he was extra motivated, he was extra determined, and as many people have said he came back in the best shape of his career, he had that extra 10% motivation and looked far better. That's how humans work, they sometimes get complacent and then come back stronger

[@weeddegree]

great fight, that uppercut tho

[@johnbiggons9136]

most importantly boxing and great sportmanship won today so refreshing to see. respect on both parties well done lads.

[@jasonvoorhees1287]

Thank you for everything champion turkey greetings from your brothers

[@markc8237]

Klitschko could had easily won had he let the Jab go ... His jab is furious!

[@lucid473]

Mark C he had to let his big right hand go after the jab it was like he was afraid to commit to anything

[@MuhammadAli-sd1bs]

We want uncut version. Stop scamming us.

[@adilchouayh133]

so classy ... so much professional !! RESPECT !

[@denzalibaltiflap2485]

What a guy! Absolute legend. Thank you both for that brutal war. Was kinda like Rocky vs Drago. This will be remembered as one of, if not the greatest fight in history. One of in my eyes, hats off to the pair of you and thanks again for a magnificent show! 🥊🥊

[@DrKha-ob9zs]

Real Champ !

[@Airsofteee]

yea, great guy. if he was 10 years younger...... the outcone with of be very different..

[@fredruks1638]

Absolutely awesome man ...! Well done Vladimir, you are a inspiration 'even' in a defeat.

[@jeffrybungle2502]

Hall of famour great man, period! Whatever else happens In his career

[@marc_anton]

April 28th: Joshua is a bum, Klit will take Joshua to school, Joshua is a hype job, Joshua isn't ready. April 30th: Joshua was lucky, A prime Wlad would have killed Joshua, Fury will wipe the floor with Joshua, Joshua has no chin, Joshua gassed, Joshua is still a hype job.

[@gaeldadon]

alfonm 👌 enemies of the young fighter, he did a great job and I'm sure he's looking forward to his next fight now more than ever

[@petejenkins3043]

alfonm shut the fuck up you fool vlad was in way better shape than he was a few yrs ago all respect to vlad but joshuais the future you aint gotta clue buddy

[@marc_anton]

Hey Peter Pan, Wlad was in great condition, fought valiantly, and was even unlucky - I am not suggesting otherwise... But all the Joshua haters and cynics deserve to be exposed and mocked. With that in mind, go fuck yourself.

[@leehollebon3228]

alfonm totally agree with your comment AJ I think is very overrated 👍

[@razortanner2671]

alfonm Too true.

[@jackgrin9947]

great talk. I respect you man thank you

[@KingCoCo]

Such a class athlete. Thank you so much for your contribution to sport and humanity. All athletes and people can look up to you! Big ups sir you will be remembered as one of the greatest!!!
