    ...like you do when you get to watch AJ fight.

    So soak it in, embrace it, because one day your grandkids will ask you "what was it like, grandpa, to live in the age of the AJ?"

    What are you going to say?

    Hint: No one likes a hater.

    Anthony Joshua - Selling out stadiums, inspiring kids. The Heavyweight Champion of the World
    Tyson Fury - 30 stone cocaine addict whos claim too fame is victory in the worst Heavyweight title fight of the past 25 years in which he had a 23% connect ratio and less than 100 punches landed. What a Ali performance.

    Nothing special watching a juiced tank use brute force to overcome their opponent. No boxing skills or jabs are on display, just the same 1-2 combination and it's over.

    Guys like Takum, Molina, Martin, Breazelle and an inactive semi retired Wlad, were always going to get run over by a well oiled tank.

    'Greatness' is yet to be achieved. Joshuas promising but too early to say great.

    This all coming from a guy complaining about people claiming Fury beats Joshua is pure fantasy as that Fury doesn't exist anymore....only to then go and claim "greatness" on Joshua.....now that's pure fantasy.

    If you can't see the difference between fighting a 11 year undefeated active Wlad vs fighting an inactive one coming off a devastating defeat that took away an aura of invincibility and replaced it with one of vulnerability, then I cannot help you.

    I did enjoy lasts nights fight. Joshua always brings the show, the head butt, the cuts, the knockdown, love him or hate him Joshua is never really boring.

    It was an interesting fight. Joshua showed what I always expected, he doesn't cope well with chasing opponents and Takam proved to be quite elusive when he wanted to be. And Takam showed how tough he was, he took some very hard shots but never seemed too flustered apart from the knockdown and the final round.

    Joshua always says he's a work in progress and again we saw that last night. He still has plenty of things to work on and things to learn in the ring. His jab needs some work, would like him to use his size more on the inside, lean and push and bully smaller men to wear them down. Foot work still needs a lot of work.

    It always takes people a little while to come round, it's a bit like when Jesus comes back through the sky people wouldn't believe it at first, they wont be able to believe what they are seeing, they will think it is a trick, but AJ is the present, he is here NOW.

    And what is frightening about him, is he is still learning on the job, he is just going to get better and better and better!

    i was gonna respond with a genuine answer but you just called 86 of 371 punches for a connect percentage of 23% over 12 rounds a devastating defeat to take. Joshua retired Wlad and rightly so after he took a beating in a gruesome fight like that.

    Fury flapped the Klitschko rematch

    Fury retired Wlad. That defeat broke Wlad. It wasn't about the punishment in the ring, but the manner and context in which he lost.

    I shouldn't have to tell you why the defeat to Fury was much worse even though he took hardly any punishment.

    Wlad's defeat to Joshua was heroic in comparison because he went out on his shield and all the odds were against him and on another night would have finished the younger fighter off.

    From a boxers point of view it certainly was, he shipped literally no punishment.

    From a viewing point no AJ's fight was better to watch.

    Just a shame Fury is an overweight drunk drug addict who will never fight again and has **** will power.

    Not exactly the traits of a champion.
