By saying wlad is passed it the haters expose their hatred of Fury

Jennings gets due credit, I think.
Shame he hasn't fought this year.
Him, Fury and Wlad all seem to have gone into some sort of coma.

 

I don't care which way people have it as long as they're consistent. If the Wlad win doesn't mean much for Fury then it shouldn't mean much for Joshua and vice versa.

Wlad was either in terminal decline before he fought Fury and Joshua is about to beat a slightly more shot fighter than Tyson did or both are good wins with one only just about edging him out and that then being able to being able to compared to what whatever fashion Joshua might win.

 

Fury beat Wlad clearly in most people's opinion. That's what it is.
Fury was probably correct when he said (before that fight) : "If I can't beat an old man I must be f--king useless" .... but we all thought he was useless, didn't we ? So we gave him no chance.

Joshua can't better Fury's win, although the propaganda machine will be in full force trying to prove that can happen - and it's hard to see how he can equal it. Unless Wlad does something special in between now and then, he's just an even older guy coming off a bad loss and a bad lay-off.

Joshua deserves credit if he wins still, because there are certainly fighters out there who aren't even good enough to beat a rusty old man.
Like he deserves credit for battering Eric Molina and all those other guys too. The man hasn't put a foot wrong, imo. AJ is doing the business against what's in front of him.

 

I will judge Wlad on the night, the big two signs for me is wlad footwork, underrated and I think won him the fight with haye, and if uses his right hand

 

I think that was due to Fury as opposed to Wlad.

I think he will have no trouble getting it off against AJ. I'm not sure that he will have the strength to clinch AJ into submission that has proved to be so successful in the past.

Fury not only befuddled Wlad but he negated Wlad's jab and crab as well which "made the robot malfunction"...

 

Wlad will only use the right hand if the jab lands.

Wlad is much faster on his feet than given credit for as soon as he moved in on Haye in that fight. DH goes into full retreat.
Fury's footwork took Wlad's jab away and if that happens the right hand won't appear.

AJ doesn't have the footwork to take the jab away so if Wlad gets into a rhythm of jab hug jab right hand AJ could be in big trouble and Wlad has his power to spark AJ with. For me AJ has to beat him to the jab and then hand cuff him with power shots - otherwise i can him getting old manned out of it by Wlad.
