    History does show that Wlad always does better in the rematches, but this time he's a boxer on a decline facing a guy who's only going to get better now. That's not really good. I think Wladimir loses by stoppage rather quickly if they fought again. I would give it five rounds max. It's no shame, he's over 40 years old now, and he's had an amazing career as a world champion, but age catches all in the end.

    It was retweeted from Klitschko's account, only someone with Klitschko's permission can do that.

    I did not know that- thanks

    I think that strengthens the scenario of him fighting again, if he gave permission to that retweet

    I think a rematch would sell very wel; maybe not quite as much as the first fight- but close

    Sure, Joshua will obviously do his best to be even better this time,,,,,, but you can bet that Vlad will go balls out once he lands and has Joshua dropped or stunned

    I would rather see a rematch than any other HW flight out there, and I think we will see it

    Not for me. Klitschko is way smarter than Joshua will ever be and he knows he can hurt him badly. The notion he gets blown away is unlikely. Plenty Joshua fanboys were predicting Wlad lost early first time. Their asses were almost fried.

    Klitschko will decide on the rematch in June, then he will announce it..............I suspect he will fight a rematch, the rematch will be even bigger than the first one, very exciting fight..............Vlad has shown he can knock Joshua out, and he should have, he had Joshua drunk, won five rounds in a row, one 10 - 8, so nobody knows who will win the rematch, which makes it exciting...........

    I don't want my auto'd 8X10 to depreciate in value further. Hang em up, Wladdy. Three straight fights you look like you're scared to death in there, both of what is coming at you and of your own right hand. Just a couple years ago it seemed impossible that I'd see and say that, but age defeats every human ever. Young mans' sport. Incredible the drop off took so long.

    He can be world champion again if he fights Parker or Wilder.

    But the Joshua "fanboys" were almost correct aswell. When Joshua threw combos, he caused Wladimir a lot of problems. If Joshua throws the combos and lands in round 1, then don't expect the fight to last that long. Personally I don't expect the fight to be as competitive. I would pick Joshua to win in three rounds max.

    Dream on about what? That Joshua can hurt Klitschko early? I think that's proven isn't it? He hurt Klitschko immediately he let his hands go in round 5. Klitschko can also hurt Joshua aswell as proven, so I wouldn't be be so haste to say dream on about your prediction favouring Klitschko. It is heavyweight boxing at the end of the day, and one punch can end the fight early from either fighter.

    You think Joshua demolishes WK in the rematcth you are a Femi fanboy. Just as likely Joshua gets demolished.

    It's just a matter of opinion. Personally i'm a fan of both fighters. I think Wladimir has been a great champion, but all good things eventually come to and end, and I believe now you're seeing a new era. I'm not saying joshua is going to have as great as a legacy as Wladimir had, but I do believe he'll beat him again and quite comfortably this time. Of course just like I said, Wladimir has that punching power and experience to cause Joshua problems just like last time, but I don't believe Joshua will fall into the same trap. For me, it'll be another stoppage victory for joshua.

    If he does he will be stripped of his WBA belt. Ortiz earned his shot and should get it. But AJ will make a lot more money fighting Wlad so he may drop the belt. Ortiz is a big threat to that weak ass chin AJ has. If Ortiz floors AJ he won't let him off the hook like Wlad did. He may lose the IBF as well that Pulev earned some how. Pulev is no threat to AJ at all.

    Ortiz wasn't even a threat to Malik Scott
