43yr old Tony Thompson beat hypejob David Price. This will look similar when 41yr old Wladimir Klitscko will KTFO Joshua.
Thompson was never an elite heavyweight in my opinion, Klitschko was/is and I do not think there is any disgrace is losing to Klitschko if AJ does. Klitschko's age isn't an issue in my opinion, the lay off will have done him good, he will have recharged himself physically and mentally and many fighters who look after themselves like Klitschko does have proved age isn't an issue so I am not sure why you needed to state ages. Look, I'm not going to pretend or even lie and start saying or suggesting Joshua is great, amazing or unbeatable at present because we just don't know but so far so good, Olympic Gold and Heavyweight World Champion regardless of how he got there so to put him in the same sentence as David Price is ridiculous.
One thing I noticed is that Joshua has very poor almost non-existent head movement. I can see that being a major weakness against Klitschko, he could end up eating jabs all night long.
I don't think he is a hypejob but he is overhyped considering the standard of opposition he has faced so far which has been beyond garbage. He is an exceptional specimen, that there is no doubt, however he has been fortunate that he has not had to face anyone remotely challenging before being given opportunities to become IBF champ and now IBO and WBA
we will see. to give price credit hes not all that bad. and every one he lost to always fails a test!!
Haye wouldn't engage. He would look to win a close controversial Decison like he did against Valuev and tried to do against Wlad but failed. How many times are you going to fall for Haye's bull**** before you realize he is all talk?
Except Whyte, Martin, Molina, Brazaele and even Johnson are better than anyone Price has ever beaten. And Wlad vastly better than Thompson. If AJ loses, it just means that Wlad isn't shot yet and ajs not yet at top 10 all time level.
Even if he loses to Wlad, it doesn't mean he's a hype job, just not as good as some hoped. I mean this is Wlad we are talking about a guy who has lost once in over a decade and who is still regarded as one of the best in the division despite being a few years past his best.
