Lets be real: Wlad looked slow and done

The velocity on his punches has declined. He does not seem to see the opening the same, and his timing is a bit off now.

 

Pretty damn good for a guy of 41 out the ring 18 months you'll agree.

 

Yes definitely. I think Wladimir has some room to decline before he can't compete at the top level anymore. I think it's pretty hypocritical for people like Galv to say Tyson was past it in his mid twenties, but Klitschko was at his best at 41. I think that is pretty pathetic.m

 

Compared to what fights?

 

Wlad was at his best around 2009. Watch the Chagaev fight.

 

Haye, Chambers around that time.

 

Thought he looked great. He was out boxing Joshua for the most part .

Losing doesn't always mean you were worse just not as good as your opponent

 

Joshua took more hurt than Haye so are you saying Haye was better than AJ?

I didn't see any 'velocity on his punches' against Haye. If there was Haye would have left the ring on a stretcher

 

I think Haye could of been, need to see more of Joshua. Haye was very elusive though, unlike Joshua.

 

Wlad has declined of course. He was no worse than I expected him to be though. Not a lot worse than he'd been against Jennings and Wlad (and I cant believe people are trying to say he was better!). I did think that would be enough to beat AJ though, so all credit to Joshua.

 

No need to see any more. . Joshua has already surpassed Haye. Every upcoming win will bridge the gap even wider. Haye is a nobody at Heavy weight.

The velocity of the Wlad punch was just as good as its ever been. The 6th round blow is the same punch he threw in his prime that slept Tony Thompson twice.

 

The official scorecards disagree with you.

 

The official score cards were criminal. Klitschko was winning.

 

There should be a demand for a rematch. Last nights fight surpassed everybody's expectations as a contest and Wladimir was close to taking Joshua out. I, for one would love to see Joshua/Klitschko 2.

 

Lets be real,he didnt.he fought a far vetter fight than nost thought possible
