    He nearly knocked AJ out and got off the canvas and kept fighting in his last fight, how is that "awful"???

    Sounds to me like someone's a little biased!!!

    Lmao

    He got dropped 3 times. 3. Wladimir Klitschko.

    Aside from a three/four round stretch, he could not throw the right hand, same as his previous two fights.

    He was fighting like 2011 Shane Mosley flicking out repeated jabs with nothing on them and never following them up. That is what old, faded fighters do, regardless of physique and passion.

    Plus, he fought a poor tactical fight with horrible in ring strategy/adapting.

    All that about the great Wladimir Klitschko? Yes. I would say it was awful, friend.

    I'd like to see Wlad fight Wilder and take his WBC Belt. He may be willing to take the fight thinking Wlad is shot.

    He clearly didn't look awful against Joshua. That Wlad still beats down almost everyone in the top 10.

    Yep, Walcott got a rematch with Marciano, I believe it was KO Round one

    We'll you make some good points, however, "awful" is too harsh of a word for me.

    You still seem pretty angry at the result given its a fews days ago maybe you need to clam down a bit and think of something else...

    No doubt man. That 6th round is going to haunt him. Lol! The 11th kind of reminded me of the 5th round of the first Peter fight. He went down twice and almost went a third time but was fighting back while moving his head and blocking to take a lot off of Peters shots. Personally I think Wlad would have stayed on his feet and Joshua would have been SPENT going into that 12th round. Wlad has showed he carries his power all the way through. I think he might have blasted Joshua with one more good one ;)

    No crying though! Joshua won the fight. But Wlad will be the one with the better adjustments in the rematch. You can bet your ass Wlad will unload like he did against Wach when he hurts Joshua this time.

    If those theoretical opponents aren't his same height AND completely gas out after 4 and a half rounds, sure.

    Yeah, but my point is just that it won't really help his legacy of he takes away AJs legacy. Then the narrative changes from "He nearly beat an atg who went on to dominate an era" to "he lost to a guy he later exposed as a hype job".
