    I hate how lines are always drawn in the sand when it comes to fights like this. AJ is a young fighter with a young man's resume who's stepping up. Wlad is an OG who needs no explanation and is showing more balls than 97.3% of all fighters in the game today especially after a fluke loss against Fury who knew it himself and fled boxing because the spotlight got too big as the did the expectations. He's only a guy who can perform when there's no pressure.

    Both AJ and Wlad deserve credit for this fight. Whatever the outcome, it's a true quality fight for boxing. Wlad is a living legend like Bhop. An L doesn't really effect his legacy. AJ is the new blood. He won't flake like the twitter troll Tyson Fury and will be around for many of years win or lose.

    I wont be surprised in the least. Joshua is totally untested and has displayed no where near the talent Fury displayed in leading up to his fight with Wlad.

    I said Fury looked like the HW Mayweather in his fights with Haymer and Chisora. Actually Lep did to and he also predicted Fury to Witaker Clinchko.

    very suprised if a 40something guy beats a prime guy, when the level they have generally won at is not far apart.

    Wlad has basically fought one good guy his own size and got dominated. AJ will dominate before shattering that frauds glass jaw and all will be well with the world.

    In hindsight, the result of the fight will not surprise. Going into though it is open for grabs? Will Wlad stand there like a statue, or throw his jab, left hook and straight right hands all night long? Will AJ rise to the occasion? Or freeze in front of 90,000 cheering for him? It's impossible to predict and that's why we love boxing.

    Really depends on what Wlad has left, favour AJ as Wlad is 40 and looked done against Fury. But won't be surprised if Wlad wins, hardly a massive upset considering his pedigree.

    No outcome outside of a DQ will surprise me. Both guys have questions to answer going into this fight.

    I think AJ's style will be easier for Wlad to cope with than Fury's by a long mile.

    If Wlad actually lets his hands go he beats AJ. If he doesn't he gets KO'd simple as that.

    Got this funny feeling Wlad's gonna pull out with one of his phony injuries. And his trusty trainer Johnathon Banks will step in as a last minute replacement.

    AJ the robot will malfunction when Klitschko lands his heavy bombs, AJ will be counted out after 7 rounds max.

    Where have I underrated him? I've not made a single reference in that post to suggest how good I think he is. All I said is what I would *like* to happen.
