    Shot how? He went to war with Joshua in one of the years best fights.
    He can still let his hands go if need be.

    Hes just 40 years old is all.

    Klitschko would be the 5th best Heavyweight right now.

    He is going to be 43 in a couple of days. Him going to war with AJ just shows Joshua's level. Usually boxers start declining after 35.
    Even if you're not a boxer you start feeling your age in your late 30s.

    Strangely, I think he could still compete and win against the current crop if he just lets his hands go more. But he's always had a gunshy attitude when he gets hit back. He defeats himself.

    His chin is weak, and he knows that.

    Absolute desperation stuff from DAZN, boxing’s equivalent of Portsmouth FC. This is like Portsmouth spunking millions down the drain on past it has beens in a desperate attempt at success.

    Mark my words DAZN is going under.

    They might get rid of Hearn or even abandon boxing completely, but they are not going under any time soon.

    Their boxing endeavours will end in a catastrophic flop, contracts will be paid off, massive legal disputes will ensure.

    That slime ball Hearn will probably run back to Sky.

    He would slot in at #3 immediately. Right behind the 2 guys he lost to.

    Always been a fan of his, as he is a class act. I would hate to see him take a KO loss at this point though, but I can't lie if he rematched Joshua I would be all over it with interest.

    Then wtf do you mean by shot?
    Of course Wlad was past his best. But he was still letting his hands go. He was still fighting at an elite level. Wlad was not shot that night. Shot fighters don't fight that way.

    Indeed. Multi millionaire many times over should definitely risk his health and even his life in order to get some more money.
