Who thinks Joshua beats klitschko

Me! And comfortably

 

I think AJ wins.

I don't think Vlad can pull the trigger.

 

He has a very good shot, but I think the step up in class is just a little too big for him at the moment.

 

I think Joshua wins old father time being a big factor.

They fancy the fight big time Wlad was so passive against Fury and if he is gun shy they will like the fight even more.

 

Yes I do believe Joshua wins but I think Klitschko is dangerous and shouldn't be written off.

Klitschko looked bang average against Jennings and looked awful against Fury but is vastly experienced and won't come to have a blast out, he will jab and grab, be evasive and try to frustrate and "Old Man" AJ.

Also if Klitschko honestly thought Joshua was going to walk through him he wouldn't take the fight, he isn't in need of money, he wouldn't take it and end his career by taking a beating so he will take it if he believes he wins and a Klitschko who is confident will be dangerous.

 

I've spoken to a few people who have said very similar to this, they made a good case to be honest, they all said Joshua should (if they can) take this late summer next year.

And they made the point this is why Klitschko seems very keen and looks like he really wants it, Klitschko himself believes it too early for AJ also and Hearn and Joshua will have made a huge mistake if they make this fight.

 

If we see Joshua as static as he was at times vs Whyte, then Wlad knocks him out.

Hopefully he's learned from that though, and watches the blueprint Fury laid out. I don't think AJ has the agility or lightness of foot that Tyson has, but he should still be looking to not let Wlad set himself.

Fancy AJ to win, but got a bad feeling he might switch off at some point in the fight. If he does it will cost him, regardless of the round.

 

Think klitchko beats him. The reason he struggled with fury was the movement and having the shorter reach. I genuinely dont think it had anything to do with age. Fury was just the first guy he didnt have all the advantages over that was good enough to capatilise on it.

It ll eventually go the same way we ve seen time and time again when klitchko gets people under control with his jab. Lets see joshua throw the two and three punch combos with that in his face. Bearing in mind everyone says its like a ramrod.

Still think parker or haye will beat joshua also. I think speed will be his main achilles heel. Funny how all the guys we ve seen him against Martin. Whyte. Breazele. And even klitchko are all slower than a week in jail. Parkers only been mentioned cause hes mandatory and they ve made a conscious decision to kid on hayes not really relevant.

 

Too early this for Joshua, OK Klitchsko is getting on now, but will still have enough to beat AJ, my guess would be by stoppage around round 7.

 

Why do you think this? Wlad might be old but an old Wlad is still many levels above anybody AJ has faced. If AJ performs like he did against Whyte he likely gets sparked. Its not hard looking good against the likes of Charles Martin. He was absolutely garbage. Wlad would have killed AJ's last two opponents at 60 years of age.

Not sure he's ready yet, experience wise!

 

so its made signed and sealed
klitchko is gun shy but I have landing on Joshua if Whyte is wobbling him glad hits harder than whyte

 

As people above have said, I don't think Joshua has the advantages that Fury has over Klitschko that Fury did.

Joshua doesn't have the level of movement Fury does. People seem to point out Klitschko didn't pull the trigger against Fury, but the fact is he couldn't time him because of Fury's movement, he said that himself in the post fight confrence.

Also I don't think it can be underestimated how much Fury got in Wlad's head before the fight and on the day with the ring mat, hand wraps, taunting him during the anthems etc.
