Comments Thread For: Joshua Admits He Felt Massive Disappointment Klitschko Retired

[alexjust]

AJ's humility in acknowledging he would benefit from Wlad's advice deserves respect. One of the main reasons he will be the king of the heavyweight division.

You've managed to diss all the top rated heavyweights, so who are the A level fighters in the division in your opinion?

Beating someone for a second time rarely raises anyone's stock, especially so when they were already 'old' and 'inactive' the first time round.

Joshua. Now Klitschko and Fury have gone the closest challengers come from the B level in Ortiz, Wilder, Parker and Pulev, three guys who won't make the step up to A, and preventing Joshua to truly become elite as he hasn't an opponent to legitimise himself at the highest level.

I see no one who's come along yet, Wilder, Pulev, Parker and Ortiz have too many holes in their game.

**** can you guys give a little credit at least to Joshua ? we fought well and almost took Klitschko head off with that massive uppercut ...yes he needs more fights , no he is not prime Tyson , Holyfield , Lennox but cmon he must be doing something right ! why all the hate ?

'Almost'

Klitschko finished the fight on his feet, apparently Klitschko is chinny too yet the most powerful guy in the division couldn't put him away, he's credited just appropriately by the rationale boxing fans. Klitschko wasn't being hit with anything clean at the time of the premature stoppage, Joshua blew his load that' round alike to the round before Klitschko knocked him down, theirs no telling if Wlad would have stopped Joshua himself the following round like he 'almost' did earlier in the fight had he have had the stamina he had earlier in his career and not been 6 years removed from his prime and inactive for 18 months before this fight in question.

Nobody gives a **** ass how he feels. To me it's a step closer to Joshua Wilder. But Joshua will just build a new road block in front of Wilder. Now it's Pulev AND THEN Ortiz. The fraud has got to go. From here on out I'm rooting against his ****** ass every time the fraud fights until he fights Wilder.

No **** he's disappointed.. He was due to make 30million+. Even Vlad coming off knockout loss was due to 20million. That's the sort of money Mayweather and Pacquiao make when they aren't fighting each other.

Because a vast majority talked so much shyte on him that when Joshua defeated Klitchko he also made his detractors scatter like roaches . They will always come and go ,but really know one can say much now . Those who do are usually the Fury mentally challenged fans or the Wilder crack head ones and a few stragglers here and there who do it subtle manner .

As far as not being a prime Holyfield or Lewis ? Yes ,hes more thanthey even were and his 19th win against an extremely prepared Klitchko shows why ! In reality Klitchko knew Joshua would have been that much harder to defeat again and was lucky Joshuas inexperience got him past rnd 5 .

Sorry cant agree , Holyfield and Lennox are legends.. Joshua might be in the future but absolutely not in the moment .
He is a good strong champion , not spectacular due to the lack of competition .. but cmon what is else is out there ? Parker ? boring ass Luis Ortiz ? WILDER ??

Of course went from record payday probable great fight record live gait to fighting guy Vlad destroyed who shouldn't be mandatory did nothing since

Harsh, he's not Bermane Stiverne. He's done stuff since the Klitschko loss. Granted his last two fights have been atrocious.

Legends arent skills,no way Joshua struggles with Grant and guys like Bobby chyz.among others they have..lack of competition?Well mike Tyson was accused of that also ,the hard truth was he was that good at one point.

Joshua will be no different,its the very reason you posted so you are contradicting yourself stating lack of competition ,its the reason why hes not getting credit and your doing the same thing now? lol,isnt that why you posted bc hes not getting credit and thats why bc fans cant seem to actually see real legit superior skills here? lol

Sh^t who wouldn't? Klitschko II to Pulev is a disappointment to him & the fans.

But ultimately I like that ending for Klitschko more than him coming back likely to get beat, but even if he came back & won, wtf is left for him? Great move by Klitschko to end on that fight. One of the best last fights of a guy I think I've ever seen.

[Kigali]

Klitschko made the right decision not fighting Joshua, but he made the wrong one in retiring. He should have challenged WBC belt holder Deontay Wilder. He would have easily beat him and became three time champion and got the green belt. His managers are idiots.

He didn't want Wilder to knock his old ass out.

Anybody that can easily beat Wilder can wipe his ass with Joshua.
