He's actually gone backwards to the point he wouldn't beat guys he beat before he was in his prime lol.
Klitschko was boxing Joshuas head off in the early rounds, and he was landing hard shots.
Joshua now wouldn't do what Joshua did in the 4th round and come out and just say fuck it and match straight at klitschko and let bombs go
He also wouldn't have stepped on the gas in the 11th, more to the point he'd be gassed out of his head and unable to.
Current AJ cruises to a UD loss or gets stopped by that klitschko, and tbh I even think klitschko NOW could come out of retirement and have a pretty good chance vs this AJ
He went life and death with Wlad even back then, if they'd fought 10 times it would have been pretty even, and that was a 41 year old end of career Wlad.
AJ hasnt declined, hes just a good not great fighter who has fought a consistently solid level of opposition for years and has come unstuck a few times in the process. I think Fury and Usyk are the only ones who would still be undefeated now if they had fought AJs opponents.
He's creaming on about Michael Hunter now, saying Usyk and Hunter are gonna run through the division, he's so reactionary it's unreal, he was truly on the fence prior to AJ v Usyk as well, doesn't make predictions anymore just sits on the fence and says how both can win so he can say "see I was right, I said...."
Yeah no idea why he gets such a hard on over Hunter...
Hatman pretending that he isn't an AJ fanboy is hilarious.

Yes Frankie lad! I heard your shoutout on Hatmans stream yesterday! Usyk defo can't handle 6ft9 of inside fighting-ness
Haha he jabbers on sometimes I wanted to discuss the real issue here
Tyson Fury is THE heavyweight, Usyk has only beaten Joshua and he sucks, we are yet to see him face one of the top guys.
Fury is bigger, stronger, rougher, faster, more versatile, meaner, far superior stamina, far superior chin, far more intelligent, far more adaptable, far more ruthless, far more confident than Joshua.
Fury also has the ability to box long vs Usyk (and remember Chisora easily closed the distance on Usyk and couldn't on Fury....)
Or he can Steve Cunningham Usyk
He is a challenge levels above.

Yeah, he was absolutely an A-list heavyweight.... won 9 heavyweight title fights and only took a couple "easy" defenses, but people were acting like he was dominating in those wins a la prime Lewis or Klitschko. Not even close.
Joe Joyce also got dominated by Usyk albeit in a six rounder. Usyk proved he is not on a heavyweight, he is the heavyweight, on Saturday.

The 42-year-old Klitschko would have KO'd Joshua had he not backed off and gone for it like Ruiz did after he had him hurt.
75 year old klitschko in 30 years time Ko's AJ
wlad was 42 years old and AJ went life and death with him in his prime. Boxing world overrated AJ. he got taken to school by an under powered 34 year old cruiserweight. he damn near got stopped in the 12th round and they rang the bell 5 seconds early to save him.

No he wouldn't, he's got no heart now, he was content to let this little guy with middling power whoop his ass, even Tony Bellew showed more guts. Embarrassing.
Same fighter he always was, just wasn't fighting a senior citizen or a caveman like Whyte or Pulev walking in chin first.

Usyk in the amateurs got smoked by 5'6" welterweight Shawn porter who had weights in his boots to be allowed to fight Usyk.
Porter said Usyk boxed him up in the first round and in the 2nd and 3rd rounds what did he do, put it on him, hit him on the chin and sent him running around the ring to pick up a decision win.
Think about that.
Shawn Porter did better against Usyk than AJ.
Shawn porter was a welterweight with weights in his boots.
Klitschko was shot to ****, threw that left hook like he was underwater.
Joshua was sharp as can be the other night, would have absolutely taken Klitschko apart.
