Comments Thread For: Fury's Coach Could See Anthony Joshua Fight in Near Future

Absolutely right.
And for anyone who watched the fight Klitschko was in amazing shape, moving really well until the moment he got caught.

Why do you think Klitschko couldn't finish Joshua when he had him hurt? Why did he retire in lieu of the rematch? It was still a quality win, just not the massive risk it was made out to be.

His performance against AJ validated that he was finished. He had AJ beaten and could not finish remember.

As far as GGG fighting Brook and Vanes, the rub was that he had better options that were calling to be the replacement opponent. Wilder had no such option.

Context matters.

Course he didn’t. Always an excuse for wilder isn’t there. I remember big baby being available and even calling into a radio show trying to get the fight. It didn’t happen.

Klitchko couldn’t finish because aj didn’t allow him. He tried to throw a couple of haymakers that were slipped and then eventually aj got his second wind and stopped him. His performance against aj was the best we had seen of him for a good few years.

This is exactly what supports the argument that Klitschko wasn't a massive risk and was at the end of the line. You think a veteran champion doesn't know how to close the show when he has his man hurt. Are haymakers characteristic of how Klitschko normally finishes fighters?

nope, Fury in a couple useless fights this year before going back in with Wilder next
