    Yes, Joshua vs Wilder will be the fight of the century. Maybe in 2018. We will see.

    Both cool guys. Can't wait for this fight, I keep going back and forth. I have to bet on Joshua he seems like hes on the up and I look for him to get an impressive KO victory but by no means have I counted out Klitschko he could KO Joshua or win a decision which I don't think Joshua could do against Klitschko.

    I really, really hope Wlad gets that puke in the ring again after he clips Joshua. If he does what he did in the 12th round... Fury doesn't make it 5 rounds.

    Tyson Fury showed clarity, vision and wisdom with everything he said prior to kicking Wlad's butt. Joshua just boring rambling same old nonsense.

    Fury went through Wlad's whole resume and critiqued it. Top level boxing knowledge. Wlad could only gawp in awe of Fury's knowledge. He did exacly the same thing with Haye and Haye jacked it as Fury said he would lol! didn't even make it into the ring. The only thing Fury was wrong about was Wlad not taking the fight with him...although it did look sketchy at times.

    Wlad is in a no lose situation here. Winning just boosts his career, if he loses it's what's expected.

    And then Fury turns around and ducks the rematch not once but TWICE with zero excuse or injury.

    He had a legit injury with proof the first time around.

    Did Wlad show proof of his injury when he pulled out the first time? no. But do we believe him? yes probably.

    you're talking nonsense.

    He pulled out the second time because he is mentally unstable and bloated to 300 pounds. The only reason he would have continued with the fight is for money and his FATHER stopped the fight from happening.

    If Klitschko wins this bout I think it really cements his legacy especially if Joshua goes on to be one of the best if not the best heavyweight of his era. For Joshua this is a great opportunity to be considered the best heavyweight in the world and achieve substantial notoriety. This fight to me is the best fight that's been made in boxing in a long time. I see the potential of the heavyweight division coming back into the public eye as the main division in boxing. No heavyweight match up can really compare since Lewis vs Klitschko over a decade ago.

    What would be even better is if the winner faces Deontay Wilder in a unification fight. I differ from a lot of people and may have to eat my words but I have always had a feeling Wilder will prevail as the best heavyweight of this era. I think his best is yet to come and when he faces a true challenge he will step up. I thought he was going to beat Povetkin unfortunately the fight didn't take place. Wilder reminds me somewhat of a young Lennox Lewis in a sense that he is just a specimen who with his raw abilities is very hard to beat and is continuing to improve skill wise. Joshua is equally impressive and I think will make his mark on the sport as well. He has a great opportunity with this fight to beat a guy many consider to be a top ten heavyweight.

    No fight I want to see more then Joshua vs Wilder I feel like both guys are potential greats and could have a great rivalry and hopefully bring heavyweight boxing back into the public eye. There is likely quite a bit of a time left in both careers for this fight to happen but if Joshua knocks out Klitschko which ultimately I think will happen there may be no better time for Wilder and Joshua to have there first fight.

    Fury was right, age is a factor, and Wlad is even older now.
