    I fancy there will be several of them each doing their milking of the belt and it could take years to determine a true undisputed top dog in the division. We will see.

    World title for sure. World champion isn't at all out of the question, either.

    Well there ya go, that's always an option.

    Hope you understand that it says nothing about Joshua when I say that I won't hold my breath.

    Wlad himself seems convinced Joshua will rule in a post Klitschko era, he sparred with him and rates him very highly....maybe he rates him that highly he will be the first man Wlad ducks (other than Shannon Briggs :lol:)

    Possibly. But don't forget that Wladimir said those same praises for Deontay Wilder. So any stock put into Wlad praising Joshua goes the same for Wilder... and I know you won't accept that (I mean, I don't, haha)!

    I haven't actually seen what he's said about Deontay. The "quotes" I've seen from Wladimir about Deontay have all actually come out of Deontay's mouth. Can you link to it?

    I know he's been positively effervescent about AJ though. Quotes include...

    "I wish I could promote Anthony Joshua"

    "I think Joshua has one of the greatest potentials I have ever seen in any fighter in the HW division"

    "All the focus is going to be taken by Anthony Joshua, he's going to put shadow on all of those fighters... those guys will stand in the shadow of Anthony Joshua".

    He heaped some praise on Wilder.

    I don't bookmark articles, so Google would be your friend there, not I.

    I have googled it, can't find anything comparable to what he's said about AJ.

    In the same interview he didn't seem to rate Wilder at all

    By the time he's in position there will be 5 or 6 low hanging belts available for him. And with him being one of the top prospects, or actually the top prospect it's pretty safe to go for yes.

    What that MBE mean anyway?
    I guess the BE stands for British Empire or something like that, and the M for some title because he was handed a gold medal at the Olympics?! :blood
