    He's got a good chin, I'll say that. I mean with a mug like his he would have to have a good chin, right? Lol

    Possibly all true but I would be surprised if AJ came in aggressively looking for a KO. He even felt out Molina for the first round.

    He does learn and he did learn he can get hurt after the Whyte fight so he has tightened up somewhat since then.

    The only thing holding me back on Wlad is the time he has spent out of the ring..

    This would be true if this was 3 or 4 years ago. Now it's a different ballgame.. Inactivity is a *****, but all credit to Wlad for skipping a tuneup bout and diving directly into shark infested waters!:tiburon:

    This is a pick em fight I reckon, a win for either guy would not surprise me, the only thing I am certain of is it doesn't go the distance.

    Wladimir Klitschko
    Andre Ward
    Manny Pacquiao
    Shannon Briggs
    Miguel Cotto
    Juan Manuel Marquez (Pac v JMM 2017 final fight)
    Tim Bradley
    Adonis Stevenson
    Lucien Bute
    David Haye
    Tony Bellew
    Ricky Burns
    Sakio Bika ( where is he???)
    Andre Dirrell
    Anthony Dirrell
    Samuel Peters
    Nonito Donaire

    You made a case for Charles Martin beating him mate. At that point you just have to admit you've been compromised in attempting in judging his abilities. For me it's a funny one to pick as we simply do not know what Wlad has left at this point. A DQ is the only result that would surprise me.

    Having said that will you give AJ any credit if he wins?

    Interesting that out of Wlad and AJ you accuse Wlad of fighting bums...
