Wilder would KO Joshua at this stage.

Commentators acting like Wilder doesn't exist and he's stood right there!

Ridiculous.

Gotta say i do like Klitschko, a very honourable guy.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Not seen an uppercut like that since iron mike well done AJ

 

[City Raider]

Be surprised if Klitschko comes back, His motivation will never be the same again. Fought like someone who hasn't been touched in a decade. He's not a 41 year old in that respect.

Keep the left hand up AJ

What about the one Fury hit Fury with?

 

[waspish]

I reckon Tyson Fury would beat him

Surprised that 2 judges had Joshua ahead before the 11th.

Sounds like AJ was teeing up Fury

It would bring in the crowds and the money but I don't think a great test for AJ.

Haha, I'm not. Ridiculous but judges always favour the hometown fighter.

Both men come out winners from that fight.

There has always been a lot of negativity towards the Klitchkos, especially in Britain, when you consider that they dominated the heavyweight division for the best part of a decade. Maybe it's the fact that Britain has been lacking a top class heavyweight during their reign that they haven't got the credit they deserve. However, its that performance at the age of 41 that will cement his legacy over here. What a pro, gent and champion.

Joshua though looks unreal. The fact it's took a boxer in the calibre of Wladimir to test him speaks volumes. He made mistakes tonight but got the job done. He's only going to get better and I don't see any of the other champions getting anywhere near him.

Probably because it's in his backyard

Well they say styles make fights. I'm no expert but after seeing how Fury took care of Wlad, his style might be poison for Joshua. I do believe that Joshua is the better boxer and probably has the longevity to remain at the top for years but he still has his flaws as evidenced tonight and a fight with Fury could cause him all kinds of problems.

The fight I'd love to see is Joshua v Wilder. That has the makings of being a proper war. I reckon Eddie Hearn would want that one put on the back burner for a while as he's going to make a fortune off the back of AJ.

720p of the fight is out if you fancy a re-watch.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Fury has called it on with AJ on twitter saying - lets dance

Fury will have seen those 6th-9th rounds and how Klitschko outboxed him and he'll be licking his lips.

I think AJ would do better to take on Wilder first.

Wilder would KO Joshua at this stage.

Ridiculous.

They wouldn't be so disrespectful if they had to stand in the ring with him :)

Deontay Wilder is a bang average boxer
