    Say what?!

    Joshua just managed to edge him out by a sudden uppercut in round 11...

    1.A 1.B balance but you say he cant beat Wilder!?

    Please explain why he cant beat Wilder after yesterdays performance..?

    He looked awesome if you bear in mind his age and his inactivity in the last year. I wanted Joshua to win but kinda felt bad for Klitschko when he lost... damn this guy is such a gentleman. So much honor... a real legend. I am still kinda feeling sad about him when I watch that brutal uppercut.

    Retire. He's lost two on the spin.

    Last night I thought he answered some questions and critics but wasn't good enough. That being said he was agressive, fought well, kept getting up and at 41 showed he wasn't the old man some suggested. In some ways it is a good way to bring the curtain down on his career.

    I would like to see him keep on fighting for at least 10 more years. Now that he's shot to **** his fights are finally entertaining.

    He needs to retire, he should've retired after the Fury fight.
    His legacy is already secure.

    1 final night in Germany infront of his adoring fans. Let K2 create one of their famous intro,s for him with bands, fireworks, motorbikes and 20 minute videos with career highlights. Nothing too taxing, some opponant that seems decent but is suited to him.

    Then retire. What a career.

    I'd like for him to rematch Fury and try to avenge that horrible performance for himself. But Fury has to get cleared and in shape to even work towards that fight. Other than that he has nothing left to do. I understand he has a rematch clause, and did feel that the ref stopped the fight at the wrong time, but Joshua is going to only get better after this fight and I think Wlad fought his best for his current age. He always has a chance, but probability isn't with him.

    I'd still pick Wlad to beat Parker comfortably. Parker's a solid 2nd tier HW, but it's not a Joshua, Wilder, or Fury fight.

    Wilder's got as good a chance as he'll ever have to land that nuclear right hand and win. Fun fight. Wlad's slipped enough to make it really interesting.

    Fury? Who knows what he's got left in the tank. If he can replicate the shape he was in the first time around, I think he'd repeat the trick without too much hassle. If not, Wlad could get revenge.

    Hard to see a Joshua rematch going differently. That's not how time usually works lol. Joshua's got more experience next time around, Wlad's just getting more past it.

    Joshua's only going to learn from their fight and do better in a rematch. If he could line up a Parker or Wilder title fight next he should take it. Based on his most recent showing he still has enough left to beat them. If they won't fight him, he should just retire.

    People, he'll probably be 42 if he ever steps into the ring again. His last 2 fights have demonstrated that he has trouble letting his hands go , he can't pull the trigger. At 35 he'd have destroyed A.J. in about 5 rounds, but it will be 2018 in a little over 7 months. He simply will not be any better next fight and fighting a farewell fight against lower level fighters could be a humiliating loss he just doesn't need.
