    To David Haye Versus Carl Thompson.

    Is The AJ Wlad fight one too many for Wlad or one too soon for AJ?

    Remember what happened to Haye when everybody said Carl was finished.

    Personally i think it is too soon for AJ.

    Thoughts any one.

    It's a really interesting one. Wlad seems genuinely up for it but it is impossible to know what he has left. I personally don't think he was shot when he fought Fury. Tyson outboxed and befuddled him yet doesn't seem to get enough credit for what was a fantastic performance. Wlad didn't throw because Fury was on the move all the time and punishing him. He totally ran out of ideas and didn't know what to do rather than being "shot". That said he will have been out of the ring for 18 months and AJ is looking like a beast at the minute. Similarly I can't really tell how good AJ is. The only real test has come from Whyte and although he won he did look a bit shaky at times. He hasn't had a decent fight since then so quite hard to gauge. There's so many unknowns from both sides, that's what makes it interesting. I hope it goes long and we really see what AJ is made of but it will probably be another 2 round blow out lol. What you can be sure of is that if / when AJ catches Wlad he will panic, he always has done - it's in his DNA (like Price). That bodes well for Joshua.
