    I was surprised I did not see anything about that on this forum, but I just read it today......................Joshua must be punch drunk, he is not anywhere near ready for Vlad. Vlad will knock Joshua out easily.....................Joshua needs to fight some good ranked fighters before fighting Vlad, too early for such a fight, wait until Vlad is 60 years old, then he might go to the mid rounds, but right now, easy knock out for Vlad...............

    I read this article as well.
    Off course, Joshua is far from ready for a chance to face Wlad. First he needs to face some better competition then Matt Legg to climb up the rankings.
    He has all the tools to become a contender, but he has faces some injuries in the beginning of the year and he has only had 5 pro-fights so far. Next year is to early, or he needs to fight about 7 or 8 times in 1 year. He needs to have at least 10 more pro fights and a lot of more ring experience to play with the big boys, or he'll get knocked out by the first punch that Wlad throws.

    As mentioned, he needs to start facing some stiffer domestic opposition first. His fight at Wembley is a joke.

    Farmboxer, is it true that Wlad knocked Wilder down in sparring with a jab?

    Huggie Fury wants to break Mike Tyson's record as youngest HW champ of all time.
    Haye wanted to save the HW division by only fighting big names instead of the "bums" that the Klits were fighting.
    Audley's destiny is for him to become the undisputed champion of the world. You can't stand in the way of destiny.

    ...talking big is something of all time. In reality Joshua is fighting Matt Legg who will fall over inside 2 rounds (probably 1) and Thony isn't going to learn a single thing from it.

    did he really say that?

    fought no one of note yet just big lumps he outweight and outskils by a good distance
    lets wait till he's fought sprot, skelton, rogan etc I think his road to the top may be longer than he thinks

    Even after 5 fights big Josh is a lot better than the bums Wlads been feasting upon

    When AJ connects on Waldos chin it's lights out

    Joshua himself
    dailymail.co.uk > Joshua believes this exposure to the big-time will help accelerate his ascent to the world heavyweight title.

    This is an absolute nonsense and a classic PR stunt - mention my name with the champ as it will add to my relevance.

    If AJ is fighting people like Legg he is a long way of Vlad fight, million miles off. I think AJ should be fighting Sprott/Towers level fighters now, going up to Chisoras level in say 8-10 months and then world title Eliminators/top 10 opponents from there onwards till he fought a world champion in say 18-24 months if all goes to plan. But if he is fighting the likes of Legg now I cant see how fighting for a world title fight in next 3 years.

    Back end of 2015 maybe- the big issue is that Wlad only fights twice a year tops. If Wlad gets through Pulev/Stiverne/Fury (so long as he gets past Chisora) in quick succession wouldn't he want his usual relatively easy mandatory defence? That would take us to the end of 2015.
