Does Wlad have one last great performance in him?

Its gunna be good, im a AJ fan but i cant pick a winner. A proper 50/50 fight it is. My heart says Joshua but im not sure Wlad is as shot as some think. I wont be surprised by the outcome whatever happens.

 

Joshua most certainly has the power to finish this fight early, or does he ?

From what i've seen of Joshua, he's bullied his opponents into submission rather than put them to sleep with one massive shot.

Over the years Wlad has exposed and wrecked numerous prospects with careers full of KO's, what makes Joshua any different ?

I don't think Wlad aged overnight against Jennings, if anything he looked uninterested and unmotivated, but lets not pretend he struggled with Jennings.

Against Fury it was simply a case of foot speed, hand speed and unorthodox movement that nullified Wlads usual strengths.

Wlad is a very very intelligent man, has his health, more money than he's ever likely to need, and a fantastic reign as HW King, why would he put himself in this position if he didn't believe he could produce the goods ? He has absolutely nothing to gain from losing another fight at this stage of his career.

Whilst nothing is certain in boxing, especially at this weight, i think Wlad has seen something in Joshua that he believes he can exploit.

Unless Wlad completely freeze's early doors and gets tagged, then i can see him turning back the clock, nullifying Joshua's aggression, grinding him down and finishing him sometime after the 7th

 

Wlad isn't shot at all, of course he's slowed down but that's not associated with the problems Aj brings. Never has wlad fought anyone close to as aggressive, technically perfect, devastating combos with great legs. Guys, Aj is the complete package, he's more of a package than the greatest HW all time in LL.

Aj is more than LL, meaning to beat him only the perfect shot can do it, Aj took care of his recklessness, he no longer leaves himself open letting lightening fast bombs go with deadly accuracy. Aj hasn't had the long career to prove it to all, I already know what he is.

Wlad of course believes he'll win and will continue believing that until 2 mins into the fight, he'll quickly realize only a lucky bomb could work and he will lose. My only concern, how bad does he want to prove how tough he is. I don't want too much damage done, quick tko should do it, within 6
