Wilders plane did a u turn midflight because pov might have failed a test that he didnt,now hes injured after fighting 4 bums,and prob need a few tune ups b4 fighting anyone of note.hes a farce
yes he's a farce but the rules should be the same for everyone, fury won he's title 10 months ago against the best and will face the best again in december if aloud around a year wilder will have spent a 2 year and a half facing bums and with no intention of facing anyone good, why should he keep he's title and guys have to fight for an interim belt, while fury gets stripped? actually why in gods name does povetkin have to fight to regain he's mandatory position when he was proven to have done nothing wrong? the wbc are beyond corrrupt
Size and power is about equal, chin I think Joshua is more suspect as he came close to a KO loss from Whyte, nobody has rocked Wlad as badly with one shot, even Sanders. Boxing skills Wlad is on another level at controlling opponents. I've yet to see Joshua box to any degree as all he's done is blast out bums with big head shots. The only card Joshua has on Wlad is age but Wlad must feel refreshed and that he has it still.
If either lands its game over,but i think aj is far less afraid of engaging than wlad,wlad was terrified of fury,aj should instill a whole new level of fear
Fury didn't just beat Wlad, he exposed his entire HW reign. Take away the jab and grab, the clinching, the leaning etc and you're left with a limited boxer who's terrified of getting hit. Wlads illegal tactics don't work on guys bigger/stronger than himself, and without them he's extremely vulnerable. Joshua knocks him out him inside 4.
I'd agree with you if Joshua was knocking out people like a young Foreman did: Joe Frazier and Ken Norton. But Joshua has knocked out nobodies and was lucky to escape against Dillian Whyte and took 7 rounds to dispatch the lumbering Brezeale in his last fight . I don't see what Wlad should fear.
I'm not feeling this. Parker needs a recovery and a proper camp to prepare for Joshua IMHO, and building up that fight a bit will definitely make for good times for all. If Parker KTFO Dimitrenko and Price and AJ beats Wlad then this will be a HUGE fight, from my point of view as a Kiwi it overshadows the anticipation for the Lennox Lewis/David Tua - if Joshua beats Wlad that is HUGE.
Aj is calling out so called top 10 atg hw champion before his 20th fight and hes still cherry picking ha
It's a fight where the old saying "too much, too soon" could hold true yet again. I'm not so sure AJ is ready for the Wlad treatment just yet (especially if the fight is held in Germany). Anthony Joshua is still a little bit "green" in my opinion. Going from the Martin's, the Cornish's, and the Breazeale's to a hungry, rejuvenated Wladimir Klitschko is a pretty huge leap. It's a whole new ballgame.
