    If Wilder could knockout Fury he would have, but he didn't, the mad * done the unimaginable and got up when no one else would have. Let's not forget as well that wasn't a peak Fury either.

    Fury doesn't get the credit he deserves, well, atleast I don't think he does.

    To be fair he was a bawhair from KO'ing Fury. It's not inconceivable

    What a right * fight. * terrible, rank rotten. Hope that Wilder or Fury get a hold of him, they'll crush him.

    Fury is the Heavyweight King, the fact he’s now screwed the nut is ominous for the rest of them.

    Wilder will be shown up in February and then Fury will mock Joshua. Even this new Joshua 2.0.

    The likes of Ruiz etc... would be as well not even getting in the ring with him.

    He gets plenty credit considering he’s only beat one elite fighter in his career.

    Heard the commentator mention that Ruiz’s team wanted him back training from July but he didn’t show up until September. The added weight really worked against him.

    Joshua boxed well but it wasn’t very exciting.

    Comfortable nights work.

    He went to the ring with the intention of winning back the belts, he carried out the perfect fight to do so.

    It was an outstanding performance from AJ. Fan or not.

    That overweight fighter still has the hand-speed and power to put opponents to sleep.

    AJ did exactly what he had to do to guarantee the win. To rush in and scrap with Ruiz would have been a ridiculous 'tactic'.

    He executed the game-plan perfectly and got his belts back... that's pretty outstanding!

    It's difficult to know what will happen. Fury for me is head and shoulders ahead of Wilder but Wilder is an absolute freak of nature someone who just has this punch from the Gods that can come out of nowhere and end the fight at anytime. Fury weakness is mental health problems and that might well stop him from ever dominating the division like he should. AJ has power is athletic and protected as * but he does have the skills to be undisputed in a weak era of boxing but there is always the chance of another fatty or mediocre fighter Icing him because his chin is an issue.

    Good game plan from one and poor professionalism from another. Disappointing fight to watch and the commentary was murder.

    That is why all Boxing fans cannot wait for the rematch. I think Wilder will win it by knockout,but others like you Cool Bhoy will predict Fury a points win.
    Let us all see what happens:50:

    It was far from outstanding c'mon, i'm not a fan of him no, but i'm a boxing fan and like to see boxers with a bit of fight in them and he just doesn't do it for me.

    Just expected more than what was dished up tonight.

    It was outstanding from his point of view, he followed his game plan to the letter and done exactly what he wanted to do.

    You’ll be waiting a while!
