The boxing board of control need to strip wlad of his titles and rightly hand them to the inevitable future heavyweight champion of the world, Anthony JoshuaaaaahhhhhHHHH!!!! He's proved himself already beating the likes of Bakhtov, who's never been stopped in his life until last night. The formidable Matt Skelton who every fighter in the division has been ducking for the last decade. And who can forget the german terminator Konstantin Airich who Joshua despatched within 3 rounds. When Eddie hearn says hes the going to dispose of everyone in the division, then its time to sit up and listen..
People need to calm down, AJ did what he needed to do...but it wasn't any great feat last night. This is just like when Wilder took care of Liahovich........both still have a lot to prove.
I really like Joshua, but please... He beat Bakhtov! Joshua himself said he had a long road ahead of him after sparring Wlad, so that should tell you enough how that went down. He will make waves, but chill out!
It was an historical event last night for the sport of boxing, where we witnessed the making of a new great that is a mix between, lennox lewis, frank bruno, mike tyson, Muhammed ali, george foreman ( every great black fighter you could think of that is big and muscular) Anthony Joshua couldn't have fought a tougher opponent to wit his skills against. He showed he's already the true champion, not a pretender like wlad who's only fought bums his entire career. Its in everyone's interest if he doesn't ruin any other fighter's in the division's career, by just giving him the belts. That way no one else has to get hurt by the future champ.
Joshua would be a great win for Wlad, if Wlad hangs around for a few more years and allows Joshua to develop and become a force.
I like Joshua and rate him very highly but seriously chill the **** out, Skelton isn't great as for Airich, I agree Bakhtov was a good opponent and I believe Joshua would beat most heavyweights right now but give him a chance to prove it
Yeah, they should hand it to him like they did the Gold Medal. I mean why wouldn't they be shameless and continue their blatant robberies and fiascoes when drunken losers like you will cheer on?
I've only got one thing to say that silly comment about him proving himself when he already has....... Future heavyweight champion of World, Anthony JoshuaaaaahhhhhHHHH!!!!!!!
The only thing more impressive about Joshua than his talent and physical attributes is his mentality He's watched Wlad rule the division for a decade and he knows he can do the same if managed correctly he won't be rushed and doesn't want to be
Bahtov is a level higher than Liakovich, and this was AJs 8th/9th fight or something. NOT HIS 30th.:rofl
