Reading some posts on the recent poll thread Some saying the fight has already been decided and that VK will take a dive haha. Just sounds like haters getting their excuses in early. If Joshua loses he was overated if he wins its fixed? Muppets
I can't see Klitchko wanting to end his career or blot his legacy with a KO loss no matter how much money he will make. He's a multi millionaire already so why take a dive or even be involved in a fight he doesn't think he will win.
I'm no AJ fan but if he beats WK, whatever people think of WKs current state, and if Josh proves his latest movements in the latest iFL training he can bring and use in the ring with him just as well he definitely deserves a bit of respect. I don't rate AJ like alot rate him, thinking he's the greatest HW in years, he hasn't done anything to warrant that kind of praise yet, and I don't care what anybody says, in my opinion I think Hearn could of done alot more to get him in better fights if he thinks he is that good, but having said that, you can only fight who is in front of you and Josh has done that. Perhaps defeating WK could be the start of a more competitive streak for Josh? Instead of boxing no hopers with as much fight as a whopee cushion. My heart is saying WK win, and I hope being embarassed by Fury has given WK fire in his belly to prove he is not about to become an easy meal for an up and coming HW who still hasn't proven much, and that WK goes into the fight with a bit of spite and drive, but my head is saying the smart money will be on Joshua by KO, however, if Josh hasn't got WK out of there by 6-7 it becomes interesting. I think Josh beats Parker, but I still think a fully fit Fury will give him all sorts of trouble and Ortiz would beat Joshua aswell, Wilder (who i think is absolutely dreadful) may even possibly beat AJ. But for a win over Wlad you can't knock AJ for it
Can't argue with most of that. I also believe Ortiz beats Joshua. You have muppet Matchroom casuals who believe that Ortiz is finished because Scott shat it against him and ruined the fight. Total idiots.
I like AJ and want him to win but even if AJ blasts WK out in a couple of rounds it can't and won't better Fury's win. Fury has burst that bubble already, took all those belts, was the real number 1 and undisputed champion and did it all in Germany. So I can understand why Joshua is in a no win situation for many people.
I just remember how superior Vlad was over Joshua in sparring, it was no contest. Vlad was the teacher and Joshua was the student....................how much has Joshua improved since then? How much has Vlad gone down hill? I know why Vlad lost to Fury, Vlad really looks good in camp, he is ripped, he is fighting because he wants to, not for the money, plus Joshua has a rematch clause in the contract because he knows he could lose this fight, he remembers the sparring....................The Klitschko that fought Fury will not be in the ring April 29th and not even the one that fought Jennings, although Vlad easily won, he was not that excited about the fight, just went through the motions, Vlad would have knocked Fury out in the rematch, he was looking like a man possessed in training for that fight, shame Fury backed out two times..............Fury knew he would not win the rematch.............Vlad has faster foot work than Joshua, moves better, lateral movement, angles, moves his head, been doing some really good things in camp. Vitali would not support Vlad fighting Joshua unless he though he was going to win, and I think he will.....................Vlad has a much better defense than Joshua, but one punch can change a fight, still, Joshua does not have the movement nor the height advantage, actually, Vlad is a little taller.............Joshua has never fought anyone as good as Vlad, no where it, this is a huge step up for Joshua.............
