Linares ran out easy winner in the end.

 

Yea he looked good, proper quick

 

Good fight enjoyed that, both fighters are good to watch glad there will be a rematch.

 

Just watched it. Linares was absolutely class..

That hand speed and punch variety was something else..

Crolla doesn't usually gas and fade like that so it shows just how good and how much Linares was taking out of Crolla. Made Crolla look pretty ordinary at time's ..

Great fight but, both deserve credit..

 

Talk of Joshua taking Fury's place. Would be excellent, but too soon for Joshua for me.

 

No chance will Klitschko fight Joshua

 

Why not ? He'd beat him, quite comfortably, if they fought just now.

 

It would be great if it happened in November but It won't happen as it's too risky for both Wlad and Joshua, especially Wlad who has been training the last year for a totally different boxer. 2 months to prepare for Joshua would be so risky for a 40 year old Wlad to jump in with such an aggressive power puncher in a short space of time, and Wlad has never been one to take risks with his career.

I think Joshua will fight Parker in November time, that's ok fight. It will be interesting to see what Wlad does now I think he will have a tune up fight to keep him fit against a no one and meanwhile do all he can to get the belts stripped of Fury and then fight Joshua or Wilder next year.

 

You think , Klitschko is on his way out he just got out worked and out boxed against Tyson Fury, just let that sink in for a minute, if Joshua start raining blows in about him he is in a world of *, no chance will he give AJ a fight, but that is just my opinion

 

Joshua/Parker might look a good fight on paper but Joshua would finish Parker inside 4 rounds, easy..

No chance Wlad is being * about twice by Fury and then having to fight Joshua. No way..

 

Joshua isn't the only heavy hitter in the division btw. You know that, right ?
Klitschko is too strong and clever for Joshua, right now. But in 12 months time, who knows.

 

Agree on both counts,

but I rather see Parker fight him and actually try and give him a go even though it could well be over in 4 rounds than someone like Bermane Stiverne or Huey Fury. I think sounds like it's between Parker and Pulev and Pulev is imo boring to watch.

 

Yes i do and he wont fight Wilder either, you are ignoring that Klitschko is on his way out, he would have never been beaten by a fighter like Fury a couple of years back, yes he has always been technically good but Klitschko is not a big hitter himself either

 

Wlad is on the way out, for sure, but he still has a lot to offer. He's far more technical and probably fitter than Joshua.

Klitschko is not a big hitter' ... we're finished here

 

What makes you think he's fitter than Joshua?

 

Is isnt the biggest hitter ever maybe i could have worded it better, but you put him in with some of the big hitters just now at his advanced years and he is struggling, that is why he wont fight Joshua or Wilder

 

Don't count him out yet he is a fitness fanatic and one of the few boxers that has got better later in his career. It shame the Fury fight won't happen as I have never seen anyone get inside Wlad's head like Fury did.

Wlad has admitted he is obsessed with getting his belts back. He had them for eleven years or so and was top dog, that's hard to let go of. I think Joshua beats Wlad but Wlad beats Wilder and I would say even Haye beats Wilder.

 

Im not arguing wae you cause i know you are a boxing fanatic :smiley-laughing002:, i would give mad Wilder a chance against any * way that swinging style of his, ones thing is for sure he catches you right its lights oot , i do think AJ would beat Klitschko i just think he is starting to feel his years a little

 

True he has huge punch but I really want to see him against someone elite. First time in years we have some exciting HW's yet fights keep getting pulled so annoying. I just hope we actually get to see Haye or Joshua or Wlad fight someone good.

 

Aye hopefully mate, that division had turned into a bit of a joke for years
