Comments Thread For: Joshua, Vitali Klitschko Nearly Brawled After Fight, Says Hearn

[Robbie Barrett]

It was good enough to KO Wlad in the 11th round.

Wlad who also has to hold back because he's got stamina issues. Joshua wouldn't have survived the mid rounds with how many punches Vitali throws. You know this surely?

Vitali was well past it years before he re-retired 5 years back. I wouldn't want to see him vs even a mid tier guy at this stage nevermind AJ.

His injuries took a huge tole on him. He had little power towards the end and became stiff as board with heavily diminished reflexes. 5 yrs on at the age of 45? I don't even want to think about it.

His knees would give out halfway through the second round and he would be battered like a old mule.

But josh is as bad man. Josh said wlad ptried to pretend he wasn't hurt but he knew he was.
Sio went in for finish. Like a lion killing its prey

I have respect for Vitali, he looked pretty dominant in his fights, but his resume after his comeback is paperthin, even though it's not really his fault that the division was so weak back then.

Samuel Peter
Chris Arreola
Dereck Chisora
Juan Carlos Gomez
Odlanier Solis
Tomasz Adamek
Kevin Johnson
Shannon Briggs
Manuel Charr
Albert Sosnowski

I dont want to hype Joshua, but he would have smashed each and everyone on this list. Even Wilder would smash all this guys. So I dont really know if Past 2008 Vitali was really that good or if he just looked dominant because of the weak opposition.

If this was a 2009 Vitali I would have loved to see these two actually square off.

[Mukuro]

Joshua is a punk. He'd get crushed easily even by a faded Vitali.

[j0zef]

I would love to see Joshua brutally comatose and permanently retire Vitali before a rematch with Wlad.

Afterwards we can call him Vegetali.

You're a sick, disgusting piece of **** for saying that.

Thats a little strong. I was just expressing my thoughts. Perhaps you should be angrier at the TS for suggesting a 45 year old who has been retired for a few years come back to fight a heavy hitter like Joshua.
