    Wladamir by KO or does Joshua just have his number?

    I like Wlad to have the speed and accuracy to close the show this time. That uppercut of Joshua's would be scary inside though

    Joshua is better today than in his prime.
    Prime Wlad had defensive problems then solved together with his trainer E. Steward.
    Maybe a draw.

    Forget prime, the Wlad that fought Pulev would've decisively finished what he started in the 6th.

    Joshua isn’t in his prime yet he’s probably got a good 2 years left until he’s on the decline(physically) but mentally he can still improve past that age.

    He still wouldn’t be able to bully AJ at any age. Would have to outbox him and maybe get him late. AJ too strong to be man handled like Haye and Povetkin.

    I very confident this ends within the first four rounds and AJ is either out cold on his back or stumbling around the canvas like a drunken sailor on inflatable castle after suffering multiple heavy KDs when the ref waves it off.

    I don't care if AJ has improved since prime Wlad was too fast, too powerful, too technically good, too accurate and too dynamic an offensive force and those slow telegraphed left hooks that were whizzing over AJ's head would be coming at him with significantly more speed and snap behind them as would Wlad's thumping piston-like jab. You think AJ will be able to pull the trigger and still be as fast as he is now at 41? These are areas where Wlad clearly had declined in and FTR prime Wlad would spark out Fury too.

    If Haye and Povetkin can go 12 I’m sure AJ can last longer than 4 rounds.

    Not a chance either of them beat AJ. Bruno not on AJ’s level and Haye the heavyweight was so overrated. Haye would never beat Joshua. AJ could keep him at the end of a jab or stop him late.

    Is Joshua in his prime yet? 24 fights, I'd say he's got a couple of years until he hits it potentially.

    Haye fought purely to survive and he would KO AJ too and prime Povetkin is iron-chinned.

    And FTR, Sasha Povetkin is my favourite HW since Michael Tyson and I have excoriated Wlad for the tactics he employed in that fight many times.

    And I consider Wlad's absolute physical prime when he was at his fastest and most fluid and deadly much earlier than that
