    As much as i enjoyed the fight i'm not desperate for a rematch. Even if Joshua fought a Pulev i'd rather see that to be honest.

    I would rather see other fights but its still a very good fight, so wouldn't be too disappointed in WK 2.

    It will be disappointing if AJ vacates though.

    Rematch is a 50/50 fight. If Wlad wins there will be a trilogy.

    ABSOLUTELY!!
    The best heavyweight fight in ages, Wladimir should have finished the job, and with Fury shelved these 2 are the 2 best in the division.
    Not sure I can think of any reason why anyone not named Pulev wouldn't want this fight.

    I can't see Wlad being better. I can see AJ being. Knocked him down 3 times. A better AJ finishes it after the first knockdown and we'd not even have the time Wlad was on top.

    Obviously i'll watch and it'll be a massive event again but i don't like seeing fighters lose belts because of contractual rematches

    Its the best fight out there for both men, and pays the best.

    Tyson Fury is a year away from being fit to fight AJ, and thats the only comparative level of opponent out there for him.

    Joseph Parker has been exposed. And Deonkey keeps on fighting bums.

    There are some good prospects coming through who will make good opposition in the years to come.

    I'm not mad to see it but I'll be happy enough to watch it. It's still one of the hardest fights out there for AJ so why not. You never know, Wlad could land big first this time and finish it. But I do think AJ will finish it earlier this time.

    Not at all interested in seeing Klitschko knocked out cold I think he is finished now, it's up to him if he wants to take the Wembley payday or call it a day now with some dignity still intact (a smarter move is maybe to chase the Wilder fight and then face AJ in a mega unification)

    I would rather see AJ defend against Pulev and unify against Parker.

    It would be Ironic if he lost the IBF belt in the same circumstances that he won it. He has still has only won two vacated belts, I don't think anyone considers Martin to be a legit champion.

    Exactly. AJ can only improve on that performance, Wlad cannot and who knows how much the first fight took out of him at 41 years old.

    Fury, Wilder, Parker, Ortiz, Povetkin, Takam all more interesting fights for AJ than a Wlad rematch.

    Good fight. Would still prefer klitchko to go out and beat one or two decent names first...still looks more than capable. Let it build up again. Not had ideal preparation for joshua. Would be better to see how much hes got left against guys a rung down from joshua first. Last thing your wanting to see is him getting punched about the ring then ko,d early. Josh now knows hes capable. Get klitchkos confidence back up first at least. Cant see him slipping that much further in a year.

    Would love to see it again. Unless Joshua has learnt how to move his head and use some lateral movement, he's there to be sparked out and that makes for an exciting fight.

    It's the best fight out there at heavyweight.

    Love the guys who are claiming AJ suddenly walks through Wlad yet went life and death with him in their fight.

    Could Wlad suddenly lose it over night? Sure he can but going off their first fight I had Wlad up by a couple of rounds and he should really have finished him in round 6.

    Theres room for improvement on both sides and remember for such the monstrous puncher AJ is supposed to be he never once hurt Wlad like Wlad did to him in the 6th.
