    Great fight but left a lot of open questions on whether AJ will ever be a true great. He's got it all though and good luck to him

    He needs experience, 19 fights is not a lot and against even an old Klitscho , Wlad probably still in top 3 best in division and with the most experience by far.

    AJ to do this in 19 fights I'm impressive.

    Vlad didn't press the action when AJ looked gone. He gave AJ time to recover.

    I thought he had him but got wild on the leaping hooks resulting in tie ups that let aj survive

    100% agree tonight proved what I always thought Fury took least a level above. Fury could give AJ a clinic, Calzaghe Lacy esk he really could if he stuck to a game plan throughout

    Lol.

    Based on what exactly. One win vs Vladimir. Since that win he did nothing and has the shame of being a HW champion who refused to defend his title once.

    Tyson fury is irrevelant and the only world title he wins is the cake eating world title

    With what. 10 punches per round.

    The difference tonight is this will be remembered for ever. Vlad v Fury was forgotten about days later as nobody enjoyed watching that pathetic fight.

    I wish he was, but I think it's another stoppage for Joshua, Fury does not have the power to get the respect of Joshua.

    AJ took a beast of a right hand clean and got up, showed he has a great chin. Think he'd blitz fury in 6/7 rounds.

    Great fight, one of the best I've seen in a long time. Joshua looked gone but recovered well, a testament to his conditioning. Was careless to get caught with such a huge shot though, and to allow klitschko to paw the guard out of the way. Also feel that has Wlad stepped it up he could have got him out of there and exposed Joshua's inexperience. But credit to Joshua, that was a real gut check and I think he's the real deal, he'll not make those same mistakes again. Can't see anyone obvious who will beat him...Wlad looked better than he has for a longtime imo.

    That upper cut in the 11th, Klitschko showed heart and a chin too...credit to both...

    Wilder won't fight Joshua, he'd get starched...

    Also...those scorecards...Definitely thought Joshua was at least 2 rounds down going into 11, at best level but that is being optimistic...fortunately the conclusive ending meant we didn't have to worry about a robbery...
