can't wait to see him fight deontay Wilder n dat big mouthed fury or ortiz

blackberlin:


That 41 year old man was ready to beat him to stupor. He had the experience and he was fitter than most 20 year olds, so you don't have a point. Most of you think being 40 means you're automatically unfit. . . Well... Bash Ali was still fighting in his 50s. . . So stop that thing you're saying.

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!!!!!!! Age is everything in sport especially boxing. Klitschko was out there fighting a young buck and father time and if there is anything we have learnt, its that father time is undefeated.

bigiyaro:
Somebody defeated a heavyweight legend via a TKO, a u dey open ur rotten mouth to say AJ no get skills, shy Na ur papa him use win D fight? the Nigerian evil spirit is manifesting in u, the type that made the UK basking in the glory of a feat achieved by a NIGERIAN.

Its a slang for show us proof. Photographic evidence should suffice for a public medium like nairaland.

Explain the phenomenon of Bernard Hopkins.
You sound very young without good knowledge of boxing I could go on an on but I urge you to go and study the fight CV of Foreman and look at the names of people he beat in his forties including Gerry Cooney ,Michael Moorer Axel Schulz and Lou Savarese
Age is very important but two things

1. It is not everything
2. What is the best age? at what age does a boxer become "old"


People age differently.

Mike Tyson certainly peaked much earlier than his coevals and aged much earlier too. Holyfield who is older than Tyson beat him TWICE.
Many would consider Floyd Mayweather old a long time ago and no one has been able to beat him

azimibraun:
W Klitchko took a dive to introduce the new face of the heavyweight division. Now the division has the world' attention again. Mayweather and Paquio of a lower weight division, Kept boxing going for a while now they are old and gone. The heavy weight division in particular and boxing in general must use Joshua to regain prominence. All hail kitchko the saviour of the sport. From now on AJ will attract so much attention and have sold out arenas and the culture of heavy weight boxing wil sure be at the top burner for the next 10yrs. This whole thing started from Tyson fury who the Cabal staged as having taking banned substance to prevent two British Joshua and Fury fighting which wiil attract less attention to giving the last of the old guard Klitchko the opportunity to launch AJ properly and more realistically with this huge global attention it got in Joshua's home country and fans and not Las Vegas. I am happy for AJ and am happy for kltchko for being part of this history.

Eluwilussit:

It's too early abeg.
Who go win between this guy and Mayweather

smogup:
Nigeria's miss is UK's gain. Anyways the forces that be in Nigeria might have stopped him from reaching his full potential

ednut1:
Abeg. He has no skill or leg movement. Lame comparison. Showed grit tho. Abeg make una no use mention kill me . D guy is d best presently. D comparison be lik d usual messi/ronaldo vs pele argument

olaniyi0:
Just like the ibo boy tammy abraham wey no dey use Igbo name

See conspiracy theorist! . I bow for u o, shuo!

gypsey:
Anything else you would like to add? or ask

gypsey:
i suspect that individual has smoking some very strong high grade ganja

davidif:


The question you should ask yourself is this: Would a 30 year old Klitschko have beaten this young start with only 19 fights under his belt? That's the answer right there.

jerfey114:
It's too early abeg.
Who go win between this guy and Mayweather

lilfreezy:
AJ fought well, his youthfulness counted. Let's not forget klitschko is 41 and put up a fight like that. A younger klitschko would have killed AJ in 3 rounds. The fight was an epic one and would go down in history. Congrats to AJ

smogup:
Nigeria's miss is UK's gain. Anyways the forces that be in Nigeria might have stopped him from reaching his full potential

That is idle speculation .In heavyweight boxing anyone can beat anyone.
All it takes is one punch and carelessness
go and see Lewis v Rahman. 1
Who exactly did he fight when he was 30 years old. Chris Byrd,Calvin Brock and Ray Austin.

To date who is the biggest name he has fought? Apart fro recycling old opponents like Samuel Peter and Chris Byrd I am really struggling to think of a fight that is outstanding.The truth is heavyweight boxing has been in the doldrums for a very long time with no solid figghters compared to the 70s 80s and 90s

I could say to you that a 41 year old Klitschko would have struggled against a 45 year old George Foreman. I believe that but I would be speculating.

Certainly in the 90s the Klitschko brothers would have been journeymen

In 1997 27 year old Michael Moorer was the world champion in his last fight he had just beaten Evander Holyfield to win the World Titles.

This is his next fight against George Foman aged 45 years the following year. He got knocked out in round 10 . It was not and early knockout where we could say i was just luck
