Anthony Joshua versus Wladimir Klitschko

great fight....I was a huge Joshua hater but he showed me something tonight....Wlad is pretty much done
 
Wlad is 40 years old and has nothing else to prove...he can still be competitive in the division and get paydays....but why....dude has a doctorate and I doubt he can hang with a lot of the young wolves in the division....
Fam, the fight was close and he got caught with a punch in the 11th round. I would argue he showed a lot more because Joshua had to use a series of punches to drop him whereas he dropped Joshua with a one hitter... He has gas left in his tank and the HW division isn't all that deep...
 
he better not at this point IMO he needs at least 2 more high stakes fight to be ready...that PLUS right now he seems to get gased too early in the fight. At this point right NOW he'd never out box Wilder..he would HAVE to win by KO' or TKO. Wilder is Taller..FASTER and hits Harder or at least as hard as Anthony.
The 41-year-old Klitschko that fought tonight is better than anyone Wilder has beaten.

true division is not deep but Wlad has been fighting for years more battle worn if anything...his last showing with Fury was terrible...this fight he had with Joshua was good no hate...however he put Joshua down after Joshua punch himself out and was looking fatigued....he never had Joshua in any other bad spots besides that IMO...

I just think he has nothing to prove certified HOF has a future ahead of him 40 years old...he can still get paydays tho

Nah fam, Joshua had recovered and was being competitive. He dropped him in the next round. I feel your point tho, my whole point is he is done if he wants to be, not because he's has no choice....

agreed he can still generate noise and get paid pretty well......division is getting better but so shallow he can possible get a belt again...
 
Great fight. I was rooting for Klitschko to win one for the old dudes (even though I never go against the black fighter)
He almost pulled it off... probably should give it up. Although he could beat plenty of heavyweights And could have won this fight and the one against Fury.
Time is undefeated. He might as well take his money and health and lay up with that actress chick
 
15 million pounds which is more like $20 mil. Joshua been making like $7-8 mil a fight awhile already way more than that $800k-$1.2mil range Wilder been making

Going to?
Both fighters made $15 million tonight.
Early reports are that it was the biggest PPV buy rate in British boxing history.
Joshua is already wealthy.
 
and who exactly has Wilder beaten so far?
Whom he's beaten it not my concern...I'm talking about his style of fighting vs the way anthony fights..don't get me wrong tho cuz dude has the goods to beat anyone because of his power,will etc...BUT IMO he'd be the one at risk if he and Wilder ever fought..IMO..Wilder has the better FASTER jab..Longer reach and better ONE PUNCH KO power. That does not always get the win but in his case it might be enough.

I feel you Good brother, but frankly, anyone can look like a Monster against weak competition in any sport. I'm just not sold on wilder yet. I was able to see how Joshua handle adversity, and comes back and knocks out a future hall of famer. I've not even seen wilder against b level competition yet, so the jury is still out on him in my opinion.
