Best HW Fight Ever

[Banko Villas]

Let me say this as clearly as it should be said: Anthony Joshua vs. Wladimir Klitschko was probably the best HW fight ever. All of that excitement, with their trading of brutal knockdowns and jelly legs, and the great heart and patience that both of them showed. It simply doesn't get any more entertaining. I prefer to watch the big lions fight, even if the small cats can be cool too. And these were truly two lions going at it. Klitschko had an amazing last stand, surviving the two knockdowns and still fighting on. It was beautiful to watch. Notice how you could see Joshua maturing as a fighter during the match. He had trouble with Wladimir's experience, but he fought patiently and stayed focused and took his chance, as late as the chance came. A well deserved victory.

And both of them are true gentleman, respecting themselves, each other and the fans. They are great for the sport.

This. Quality wise for sure. I liked Chisora Whyte, but this was many levels above.

That fight was also truly amazing and I consider Lennox Lewis the best boxer ever. But I think Joshua has the potential to surpass Lewis, if he keeps up this pace. The guy is 19-0 and the top of his division (Fury is out and Wilder fights no one).

I would love to see Joshua adding Fury, Wilder and Ortiz in his resume, if he manages to beat all of them he's the new face of boxing with no doubt.

Lets calm down a bit now.

Ali vs Frazier I and III was leagues above that. Those two were on the brink of death in that 3rd fight

Extreme drama last night with the KD's but lots of the rounds were pretty quiet. When you watch it back without the adrenaline those rounds feel a lot less dramatic

Yeah that was a good fight too but it lacked the drama and closure of Josh vs Klitschko

I take it you haven't seen Holmes vs Norton etc etc

Actually, fights like this is a breath of fresh air for a boxing world, in this era when casual fans lose their interest and choose more dynamic sports like MMA. So you can say that Joshua and Klichko helped the sport
