    Would it be disastrous to his legacy or not?

    No, he's old and coming of a long layout. A fighter's legacy shouldn't be affected much by what he does well after his prime.

    It also wouldn't be good for Joshua people will say he caught the old man cold.

    What would be good for him is if it competitive for a good few rounds wlad gets him in a but of trouble then he manages to comeback.

    Heavyweight is hot or may become hot depending on this fight, if wlad wins then retires he could cast a negative shadow on the division for the next ten years, thats if fury doesn't comeback

    No ,ppl have to really understand the magnitude of this fight win or lose for Wlad...hes facing a 6'6 giant who can actually fight and will exp[lode on him at the first mistake he makes probably.Joshua has TOYED with everyone
    ( even Whyte mocking him) ....hes not going to do that here.

    Wlad is fighting the ACTUAL real Joshua ...we havent seen yet. This COULD be either a Lennox Lewis slow approach or Mike Tyson try and end it quickly. I have No doubt Joshua could have ended ALL his fights within 2 rnds if he went full steam and focused...thats what wlad has ahead of him and a 19 fight Joshua not a 16 fight ........


    Fast knockout ?Very likely,AND ITS NOT BC WLAD IS old! Anyone remotley knowing what boxing looks like knows his work out showings shows a very dangeroous Wlad on point! Leave the excuses and i told you so behind ...its dumb.... Joshua Is that great and Wlad is STILL that dangerous and skilled. Maybe moreso than ever now being his back against the wall...one thing a highly skilled fighter is almost always at his best when he needs to be.

    Joshua 6 rnd K.O!

    Wlad losing will not affect his career at all. In fact , every round he lasts will greatly enhance his legacy. He's not on or even near Aj's level. Add in Aj is a fericuous beast looking to make opponents irrelevant, I just hope Wlad makes it out like he came in.

    One thing about us man, we can take so much more punishment than anyone realizes, and Wlad being in career best condition means he's in for the long hall.

    He'll be able to fight on far stronger than when he's just going through the motions (most of career) and if he's actually able to implement his talents and what he trained for, we could be in for a TREAT!!!

    Not now I dont think.
    He has had a great career and beaten alot of good HWs and other title holders, he is getting on in years, so no, I dont think it would hurt his legacy after such a good career

    no, losing to fury already puts anything to come in the shopworn department, win or lose.

    No

    Round 1 would be surprising, but his legacy is cemented.
