Wladimir Klitschko '50-50' On Anthony Joshua Rematch

What is?

A more aggressive, confident version of Wlad, could have been harder to deal with.

He was vulnerable, but also more dangerous.

 

Fair play to him if he retires, he had one helluva ride, one which most fighters could only dream of. He well and truly went out on his shield against Joshua, as well as putting up one great fight. He's got many millions in the bank, a stunning wife and a newborn child. Peace out, Wladimir.

 

Actually Wlad had a lot of confidence in his fight with Anthony Joshua and his cautious style was the reason why
Anthony Joshua didn't knock him out within 5 rounds.

Wlad is not a counterpuncher, Anthony Joshua is.
Wlad is not a good combination puncher, Anthony Joshua is.

Do you really think it would have been smarter for him to brawl with Joshua than try to outbox him, what do you actually know ?

Joshua would overwhelm a more aggressive version of Wlad Klitschko as easily as he did in the 5th and the 11th round.

 

What exactly do you know?

When I first posted my response to you, I didn't realise who I was posting to.

Now I know, I haven't even got the patience to debate you.

You're argumentative and you make bold claims that you can't back up.

I watched Wlad's career in it's entirety.

I watched the fight at Wembley.

He wasn't super confident, just half heartedly pawing out the jab. His earlier knockout defeats have left him psychologically scarred. As great as Manny was, he turned him into an ultra cautious fighter.

Wlad doesn't use many punches, but when he was younger, he had a much bigger arsenal of shots at his disposal. He threw more combinations.

Why is it a given that AJ would have overwhelmed a more aggressive version of him?

It isn't.

Wlad could have caught him earlier and finished the job.

Anyway, we'll leave it there.

I've no desire to have a back and forth debate, with a guy who thinks AJ would have beaten the likes of Byrd and Sanders with absolute ease, based on the Charles Martin fight.

Good day to you.

 

Come on now, don't be offended.

A more aggressive Wlad Klitschko lost to Puritty, Sanders and Brewster therefore he changed his style because the more aggressive style didn't work for him, he wouldn't have been a champion for nearly a decade if he would have fought the way he did earlier in his career.

Wlad did exactly the best he could do against Anthony Joshua, he fought with the perfect approach, a more aggressive version of Wlad would have been knocked out earlier more likely than not.

I didn't say he would beat Byrd or Sanders only based on the Charles Martin fight, we had a long debate, i made
very clear why i think that he would beat them and it's not a science, Byrd and Sanders weren't world beater.

And by the way i'm not the one who starts this debates, so if you don't want to debate, you don't need to reply.

 

This!!!

 

Sounds like retirement.

Farewell fight would be nice, take a guarantee win......wilder anyone???

 

No do it by age dip**** cause fights don't make a difference I could be like Loma whose past his prime before he won his 5th fight

 

Fights don't make a difference ??? hahahahahaha!!!

 

No because some have vast amateur experience proven by loma didn't need all the start up fights at pro

 

Who in there first 8-9 fights have a better record then Leon spinks or lomankenko proven fights don't make diffidence lucky wins and amateur experience means a lot

 

Is that why he lost to Salido? Lomo was a better professional after that fight than he was before it.

Pro Fight experience matters and don't ever let anybody tell you otherwise.

 

And count for fucj all if you watched that fight salido was a dirty dirty fighter in that fight almost Ward level

 

You can't compare fighters by age, it doesn't work that way.

Loma is an exception, he had nearly 400 amateur fights and started his career late and he is definitely not past his prime.

And even if we compare fighters by age, Wlad at 27 years old wasn't as good as he was at 35 years old, the 27 year old version of Wladimir Klitschko lost to Corrie Sanders.
