    Wlad is done. He is father time.

    Man can't pull the trigger on more. His is also rusty having not fought in a year.

    AJ would ktfo. Wlad needs to stay away, try and fight fury and retire ffs.

    But they are the 2 front runners to get the fight. You said he's only willing to fight bums yet both fighters have received offers.

    I'm sure you was one of the guys who said he was chatting **** when he first talked about GGG v Brook back in Feb.

    Chatting **** is what Lara does on twitter about GGG- but unlike that situation, Eddie has made contact with Klitschko's team last night.

    Wlad would only fight AJ in a unification fight or if Wlad is mandatory. He wouldn't fight AJ as a voluntary challenger.

    Ok I'll rephrase, so far he's only fought bums. But my point still stands in that Wlad, although not peak is still light years ahead of anyone AJ has been near. TBH Parker is going to be a big step up for him.

    How most "fans" on this site are so ignorant when it comes to anything boxing related. The odds makers might open wity wlad the slight fav but by fight time AJ will be a massive favorite and gor absolutely great reasons.

    AJ destroys any version of wlad 100 out of 100 x's. He has every single important advantage and in the most important talent and skills its a complete whitewash.

    I was really looking forward to the fury rematch onky becauae wlad would've had his best chance to go out on top.. we're talking a gunshy 40 yr old with horrific stamina problems with prime killers all aroune him..

    DW blasts him out late rounds, tko/ko, ortiz beats him into submission, AJ brutalizes him for 3 to 5 rounds and could really injure wlad. Even righy now id bet my house haye beats him and bea tr s him badly.

    Those fighters ATM are suicide missions. If wlads people cared about his well being and going out with a possibke win they should finally give shannon the cannon his lottery numbers.

    That's a pickem fight for me, 3 scary rounds for wlad . He makes it out of rpind 3 he should be able to wear down the sr citizens circuit.

    If he looks spectacular then maybe try adding a haye or ortiz fight, both very steep uphill battles but doable if he can actually fight to win.

    DW and AJ are nothing but ugly and sad passing of the torch. This really screws everything up. The ONLY relevant name hw wlad could (should) beat was Tyson. Wlad just got train raped ..


    How is it possible briggs is fit to fight but the over weight ro obese purportions isnt mentally able. I het it, tyson knows he got the worst wlad ever and still barely won. Cant even call that a win. That was tyson losing just a tiny bit less than wlad.

    Tysons camp pulled this BS because they knew wlad was coming to ko or be ko'd. Would had fought round 1 like he did round 12 and tyson would had been ko'd within 4,5.

    Now we have wlad who's a fringe top 5 hw that's going to get annihilated by any top hw, right now.
    I speak facts boys and girls. The only thing wrong with tyson is he knows he aint got any shot of hitting ty he lotto back to back.

    I like wlad, great man and made a great career, hw just doesnt belong in tge ring with the killers of today..

    40 year old Wlad is a huge step up for a guy whose best opponents so far are Martin and Breazelle. Joshua has been protected and coddled by Hearn.

    the hypocrisy and the hate ... people yap about AJ only fighting bums, being unproven quack quack ... Guy wants to step up and fight a legendary champion, yet, people still complain and advise him not to fight. What do you board nerds want? The need for hate in people is just annoying sometimes. While I agree AJ is not proven yet, no one can ever deny he wants to step up in class and be the best. And he just might achieve that in about a year or two.

    Great fight, but to me Joshua is too Young and too athletic, and too strong for this older version of Klitschko. I'd probably pick Joshua by KO.

    Klitschko would absolutely destroy AJ. I give him props for having the stones to want to fight Klitschko/Wilder/Fury RN

    If it actually happens it would be a truly audacious move on Hearn's part. While Wlad is old and clearly well past his best, he's still a few levels above anyone Joshua has fought so far, it's a big risk.

    But if there was anytime to take such a risk it's now, Wlad has been out of the ring for almost a year, will be a little rusty and will have been preparing for a fighter quite different to AJ in terms of style.

    This..

    People ***** and moan about AJ fighting bums but as soon as he is mentioned about fighting klit the same people still moan. They did the same with Brook when he accepted to fight GGG

    Klitchko will beat joshua. What caused wlad the problems with fury was the footwork/movement. Joshuas footwork is too slow to beat klitchko. He ll get big joshua under control with the jab.

    Interesting fight tho.
