Amazing fight and delighted for AJ. That being said, I think Tyson Fury will be licking his lips at that. To be perfectly honest I thought the difference in boxing class between the two fighters was vast, AJ's footwork is almost non existent and he is quite one dimensional. Ultimately Wlad's age caught up on him but Fury is still young and a very underrated boxer. Needs to improve his overall game, if he can do that and keep the power he'll be unstoppable. Can't see Fury living with Joshua's power mate. Fury is awkward and ungainly to fight , but I think AJ could walk through his punches and completely dominate him. Would like to see the fight though. Apart from wilder there is no one else about. Parker looks decent and with fast hands but too small , I think.

Yeah Joshua v Fury would get the viewers. Londoner v Caravan dweller. What do chavs in Kent do?

I don't see the point of a rematch Klitschko had an advantage of experience over Joshua, now he doesn't so I don't see what cards he has to play anymore Klitschko could fight Bellew or Haye Joshua could concentrate on Fury and Wilder

AJ has awesome power and that's great to we when he unloads. , but I don't think he will ever be a great unless he gets better technically, he plants his front foot and has no jab I think that the Fury of 18 months ago would absolutely school him. He was seconds away from losing in the sixth and If Wlad had a bit more youthful energy he would have been killed off. But you can't argue 19 KOs it's time he starts fighting the best of the best.

To be honest I don't think there is a heavyweight on the planet who can stand up to shots like that from Joshua. That uppercut was from another planet, one of the best I've ever seen. That being said, Joshua did show vulnerabilities last night for me. Aside from the footwork which I already mentioned, is there a question over his chin? He's not used to taking too much punishment but was in trouble for a little while against Dillian Whyte and then of course last night. I suppose you could say the same for Fury though who has gone down before. I also think he came in too big for the fight and for all the power it gave him, he mainly got himself in trouble in the 6th and 7th because he punched himself out having knocked Klitschko down. Absolutely love the bloke anyway and am only picking flaws because I really want him to clear the division up and for all I've said, he showed tremendous heart to come back from that last night and win in such dramatic, emphatic style. Was such a good fight I might watch it back this morning. Edited by Canterbury Palace (30 Apr 2017 7.58am)

I agree I think AJ would ko Fury.he has awesome power.love the way AJ not letting his opponents off the hook. The upper cut AJ caught Klichschko with was different class.i also want AJ to clean up the division and think he will do.joshua answered every question last night.can he take a punch? yes he can. Can he get better? Yes he can also with his footwork but that will come with experience. Hats off to both guys who conducted themselves like gentleman in the build to the fight. The sky's the limit for AJ.bring on Fury and Wilder.

I had Wlad ahead on points... so lets not kid ourselves AJ was "different class". He showed heart and courage... but was close to defeat... I reckon if he had fought the Wlad of 5 years ago... he would have lost.

In actual fact at the time of the stoppage, two out of the three judges had Joshua in front.

Just seen the last round again and how Vlad stood up to that upper cut was amazing. It would of put a lesser fighter to sleep.
