    Coming back to beat foremans record is admirable. But foreman was 43 years old, not 49? Why wait so long?

      Wlad should have kept going after the AJ fight. He did pretty well and was aggressive for a change. Joshua had to land some great shots to win it - that uppercut...

      Why would you retire after being competitive with one of the best in the division?? Sort of dumb thing Ricky Hatton did after only losing to Floyd and Pacquiao

        Vitali would have a much better chance!

          Foreman was 48 when he KO'd Michael Moorer. Wlad would break the record if he defeats Daniel Dubois,, just sayin...

            Hatton didn’t hang it up after the Pacquiao fight. He took some time off and then came back in a scrap only to get stopped via body shot by Senchenko…who oddly enough then got stopped by a light-punching Paulie Malignaggi of all people.

                Vitali was a better fighter but his body was falling apart 12 years ago and he slurs now

                  But that maybe 3 and half years later. He should have learnt from being in with such great fighters and worked to get better - not give up. Also Pacquio used a "tell" to get the KO. So another reason to have confidence he could do better

                  That guy he came back against was fairly good and possibly a higher weight. You come back against an easy guy if you are serious about your career. I think Hatton couldn't handle not being the best tbh.
