    Takam is like Chisora but only better in everything. This is solid fight, better than Pulev. Takams style might be more dangerous than Pulev, Takam has better power as well...

    Skill wise, yes he's quite a bit better, but style wise, Takam's style will be more of an issue than Pulev's.

    Is this the same - better than Chisora - Takam who lost to Boystov who lost to Alex Leapai?

    Trash fight, but people will make excuses for Joshua while they swear Wilder himself goes into VADA and tampers test results. :lupie:

    Not much interest in this. Joshua will do what he wants with Takam. At least Pulev had size and a good jab , i was kinda looking forward to that fight.

    Solid replacement, I look forward to this match just as much as I did for AJ-Pulev. Not too much.

    I agree, I think this is far more dangerous than Pulev, it could turn out to be a huge mistake.

    Takham isn't much better than Molina but I'd pick him to KO Molina.

    That's what I'm talking about!!

    Takam is one hell of a good late notice replacement opponent, barely a downgrade from Pulev if he even is one.

    AJ puts Parkers performance against Takam to shame in a one sided beatdown.

    Nah, Takam throws feather dusters. Look at Arias who went the distance and was done by Zhang in one round. Zhang would have been a great stand in.

    Great replacement at last minute.

    His mandatory has pulled out. With under 2 weeks to go.

    Who else is out there with that short notice for all the critics??

    No. Pulev was better but he's in cash-out mode

    Takam was already a stand by, The IBF rules state if the mandatory pulls out it goes to the next contender which was takam.

    Takam is solid enough for a 2 week replacement. He's always in shape, good gas tank, good chin, inside game and is a little awkward. In all honesty, I don't think it would be a guarentee that the 2017 version of Pulev beats Takam.
