Punching power - Even. I think for one shot power Wlad maybe slightly better, but he was taken the distance back to back in his last 2 fights something that has never happened before, so his power may not be what it was, so I'll say even.

Speed - Wlad, real close and while I think Wlad has declined I still think he has faster hands.

Reflexes - Joshua, Wlad is too old now, reflexes are not what they were.

Timing - Joshua, Wlad's timing isn't what it was.

Jab - Joshua, Wlad used to have the better jab, not anymore, Joshua's has improved in recent fights and Wlad's has been missing now for a while. Out jabbed by Pulev, unable to land it against Jennings and out jabbed by Fury. Wlad's jab is just this useless pawing thing now, the fast hard jab of old is gone.

Left hook - Wlad, it's harder, faster, more compact. Joshua's is decent enough, but lacks power.

Right uppercut - Joshua, Wlad can't throw an uppercut.

Straight right - Wlad, Wlad's right hand is still a thing of beauty when he throws it. Joshua has a very similar right hand, thrown from the shoulder, not telegraphed, retracted back quickly but it's not as good as Wlad's.

Mentality - Even. Joshua specifically trained with Wlad to see what a champion has to do to be a champion, he copied a lot of what he learned from that camp and applied it to his own. Both have a great mentality and approach to their boxing.

Experience - Wlad, no brainer, he's had a huge number of fights and has seen in all from upset to glory.

 

All well and good, but you're comparing two fighters that no longer exist. Wlad is not the same now as he was then, his power, speed and timing are there, but slightly less, his stamina however appears to have declined and he still fights scared and burns nervous energy.

Likewise, that version of Joshua no longer exists, post Whyte he's shown some decent evolution and is boxing much better.

I suppose this fight will answer all questions and doubts about both guys, cannot wait!

 

I guess will give him the edge. Not that Joshua power can destroy world class fighters either, it just hasn't been tested.

 

Wladimir is alot more proven. However Wladimir seemed terrible in his last fight and therefore it's hard to judge how good he really is currently. Maybe it was Fury who was just to good on the night. I speculate that Fury is way better then people give him credit for.
