Why did Wlad reject an AJ rematch ?

[DreamFighter]

Actually the pattern was run away from Wlad if you defeat him which was like 4 times

nice one with the "blame everyone else not the perpetrator" Even with the odds massively against your argument you still tried it on, like it was literally every other person WHEN it was Wlad who was the common denominator getting his arz kicked again.

Cause he holds AJ shares now
K2 and matchroom are Partners

Because he was never all that good at boxing actually and only reigned over a sad cast of short, fat, over the hill, and under prepared boxers....The Pulev fight was pretty good though.

Truth is Tyson would have kicked his ass no matter what point in Wlad's career you place that fight. Joshua can beat Wlad anytime he wants to just drop the art and start trading because he can out chin Wlad. Also something that would have happened at any point in Wlad's career.

Wlad was ok, these kids are actually good though.


1-2, huggy-huggy, step back, rinse and repeat. That's called fighting on tracks children. Wlad's a track fighter, Joshua is a bit too but he can out chin Wlad any day of the week. Wilder and Fury got pivots. Wlad don't know how to deal with that **** and never did.

must have just started watching boxing or something because he rarely had rematches because he rarely lost that was the pattern ? Ha

you forgot "rarely stepped up" if retired failed corrie sanders was his best opponent outside AJ and fury.

[Shrap]

He was 41; well past his prime. The Joshua fight was likely his idea of a proper send off, win or lose, to make up for the snoozefest that was the Fury fight and bookend his career more fittingly.

Having a young child with a looney mother might have influenced him also.

The evidence would show you don't know what you're talking about . Sanders declined the rematch even dropped his belt he won to persue Vitali. Ross Purity outright said no , he even said he was lucky but that's Wlad ducking? And then there's Brewster who a few years later was forced into one and we saw how that went. Fury fakes a foot injury and seen jumping at a club so on .....

See if you knew what you were talking about you would know Klitschko wasn't always beat up one would think 4 losses going into the Joshua fight would be a hint ,it suggests you are new to boxing.

So let's do a round up of the the evidence massively against me! Wlad didn't get 2 rematches early on with Sanders and Purity. Wlad does get a rematch with Brewster and batters him . Wlad has a set rematch with Fury but Fury gets out of it of course wlads ducking it though , and Klitschko decided to retire after the AJ which is the only actual rematch he didn't persue.

Yes another logical Box scene poster suggesting ducker Klitschko avoided all his losses by not taking rematch ! I would be worried if there wasn't one on the thread by the forum standatds. Ha

Why would he want to get the third lose in line?

[Kezzer]

AJ was narrowly leading on the Judges if I remember right, and Joshua gained mammoth experience.

My thoughts at the time were not dissimilar to froch groves. If klitschko knocked Joshua down I. He way he did (like groves did froch) but was unable to capitalise and was then stopped... then how will he do if he doesn’t manage to get the early knock down?

I was hoping for a rematch because it was epic but it tilted more towards AJ being favourite than before the first fight.

I would still pay for a rematch now if he came out of retirement though, klitschko is one of the few fighters you would expect to be fully fit now so returning wouldn’t have as big an impact as others.

He retired because Vitali isn't around anymore to fulfil the customary Klitschko rematch clause where if one loses, the winner has to fight the other brother
