    Joshua has shown absolutely nothing against the handpicked stiffs he has fought that he will beat even a 41 year old Klitschko.

    Simple, because Wlad is a shot fighter. He has nothing left. Too old and slow. Joshua the younger faster powerful man, he will finish Klitschko inside 5 rounds.

    Exactly! People are overrating this MOFO. This is same as 2011 when everyone expected Haye to walkthrough Wlad, well it didn't happen.

    In this case, "everyone" did not include the oddsmakers.

    I'm not sold on Joshua at all. I believe he's definitely overhyped and his wins are way, way less impressive than they might first appear.

    But I firmly believe Wlad is shot.

    I don't need to cite the Fury fight for that, the Jennings fight is all I need.

    Wlad looked like **** against Jennings and that was two years ago.

    Have you watched that Jennings fight? Bryant didn't went there to try to win, he went to survive. Its extremely hard to KO opponet who runs away, moves side to side and doesn't want to trade punches. He would give problems to Joshua with that performance aswell.

    IMO Jennings is better fighter than anyone in Joshua's cherry picked resume.

    Yep the Jennings fight with hindsight was a real warning that Wlad wasn't the same fighter. Where was his jab? Why was the smaller man having so much success getting off first? Wlad's jab is a pale imitation of what it once was and he's slowed and isn't able to pull the trigger like he once could. He's been in decline since Pianeta for me, this combined with inactivity and the fact the man is in his 40's, suggests Joshua as a real chance even if this is a huge step up.

    I think sums it up pretty well. Wladimir Style should be good vs Joshua since he doesn't give much angels but I doubt Wladimir is the same fighter he once was. His last good performance was vs Kubrat Pulev.

    I really like AJ but I can see him being stuck on the end of that jab all night.

    The fury fight showed klitschko not really knowing how to deal with a bigger man and fury is taller and has a longer reach than AJ.

    I can see AJ beating everyone but losing close fights to WK, Haye, Wilder

    Because Wlad isn't the unbeatable killer people seem to think he is. Joshua is all wrong for Wlad - too big, too young, too fast, too heavy handed. Wait and see on April 29th.

    looking at jennings fight then the fury fight i cant put my trust in wlad and pick him to win an state some legit evidence to defend it. wlad hasnt looked good sense pulev or was it around the time steward passed ? wlad is focused so but hes gettin up there in age and hes goin into this guys living room so its gonna be hostile i cant pick wlad with any confidence. its boxing tho anything can happen and not only is it boxing its heavyweight boxing these guys hit hard so all it takes at the weight and level is one shot. and wlad still posses that power as most big heavyweights do.
