    There will defiantly be a hype train coming to a halt after that fight but it won't be Joshua's. Ask Wladimir Klitschko who he thinks better having sparred with both :hey

    Sparring doesn't mean squat, ban bet me a month if the fight does happen. I'll take Fury over Joshua too.

    Fine. Fight will only happen as a tune-up/ stay busy for Joshua anyway because Wilder will be exposed before Joshua competes for a world title (kind of like when David Haye fought Audley Harrison)

    When have you seen Joshua getting knocked about by guys like Eric Molina, Dustin Nicholls and Harold Sconiers?

    I'm as confident- if not more so- that Joshua is the real deal and Wilder is a hype job as I was that Brook or Inoue was the real deal and Broner was a hype job

    wtf? wilder was knocked down by molina? I missed the majority of fights in june, and had to watch porter/broner on a terrible youtube vid.
    Are you willing to take the fury/joshua bet too? Anyways, for the record I never said Broner was the real deal, I do admit I rated him much higher than Brook, but I didnt think either were really the future. I still dont.

    No but he was on Queer street bad in round 3 but Molina for some reason did nothing.

    Yeah why not. Joshua will beat Fury too although he will offer more resistance than Wilder.

    :good. I can't stand this Joshua hype train, I dislike him far more than brook at this point. Heard some moron say Joshua could give Wlad a go :patsch at this point of his career.

    Wladimir himself seems to think that. Jennings gave Wlad a good fight, some only had it by a 2 or 3 points, who was a janitor 18 months ago and has only had 7 more fights than AJ, who has matches up better with Vlad physically than Jennings so I don't think it's that ludicrous.

    Let's be honest here, Wlad didn't take Jennings seriously, and he had an off night. If wlad looks the same against Jennings then yeah maybe he does have a shot, but I highly doubt that Wlad is going to look half as abd in his next fight.

    Brook isn't even hyped as much as he should be.
    AJ is hyped but he is also the whole package.

    Brook isn't that hyped, AJ is hyped on another level. I cant believe teh hype this kid is getting. Yes what he's doing is incredibly impressive for the amount of fihgts he's had, but seriously until he gets in there with a fury, wilder, stiverne type guy pipe the fk down.

    If Brunoshua has the stamina then he may beat the current version of Wladimir.


    He looked vulnerable as heck in the Jennings fight. Jennings can't punch worth a damn.

    If Joshua stops him it will be with Wach on his feet taking a beating on the ropes, I don't think it will be a clean KO or even TKO. Wach is very limited, slow and easy to hit but he has one hell of a chin on him, if Wlad couldn't KO him cleanly Joshua won't either.

    This is a good fight at this stage for Joshua. Wach is in reality not very good, not even top 20 material but he durable as hell which is what Joshua needs at this point. Johnson was meant to take him a few rounds but clearly it will take a far better chin than Johnson's to take AJ more than a few rounds.

    Wach is dangerous, he has size and power. But he fights in a style that suits AJ. He won't pressure AJ, he'll stand at range where Joshua is most effective, he's too slow to land much and this will allow AJ to slip shots while being able to land his own.

    I think barring Wach landing something monstrous this is a fight that could make AJ look very good by becoming the first man to stop Wach, but as I said it won't be a clean KO.

    This fight has a British stoppage written all over it. Maybe around the 8th round.

    I'd like to see this fight take place in Poland.

    Stiverne only decent win is over the massively overrated Chris Arreola (who has no decent wins)...Wilders only decent win is over the massively overrated by proxy Stiverne who was dehydrated. Maybe they need to prove themselves too.

    Look at Wilder's opponent last fight. He goes life and death with a guy who last year squeaked by Rafa Zumbo Love- a guy who Joshua made look like he doesn't even belong in the same sport. Wilder took 4 rounds to get Jason Estrda out of there in like his 32nd pro fight. Joshua in his 10th does it in 3 when he's coming off an injury.

    Joshua beats Wilder in 2nd gear. I would be beyond shocked if Wilder made it to the 4th round before he's asleep.

    The 9 guys who voted Wach via KO will still argue Joshua is garbage when he blasts Wach out in about 3 rounds. You heard it here first. :deal
