    "I have a lot respect for Anthony and what he's doing. He can be a cross-fit world champion actually."

    "But did you hear about boxing? It's the sweet science. Boxing is the sweet science, the ice is thin. The most vicious boxers were conquered. There was one boxer, Kimbo Slice, he was unstoppable, he was knocking everybody out. Then one guy came out and took him down. Kimbo was really strong."

    Asked if Joshua could be making a mistake facing him now, the former champion added: "The opportunity is now, everything has its time. I don't want to hear,'oh it was too early for him or that Klitschko is over the hill'. He wants to become a billionaire, which is a great ambition. The question is before the tax or after the tax?"


    :lol: damn Wlad

    Calling Joshua a crossfitter and comparing him to an overhyped bum like Kimbo Slice haha. Wlad is a real subtle trash talker.

    He's been Mr. Professional, Mr. Nice Guy long enough. Now that he is in the twilight of his career he really wants the respect that he deserves as a veteran and top level champion of the sport.

    The fact that people are picking Joshua over him when he is relatively green is getting under Wlad's skin a little bit. There have been very few fights where he is not the favorite going in, if any, and this could be one of those occasions. But, he better put up when the first bell rings and his reflexes better still be good enough. Otherwise he will be eating some crow after the fight.

    Wlad is a total dork.

    No offence but he is comical to listen to. Nice guy for sure, just a dork.

    Really? But I don't get that though. Despite fighting timid from time to time against punchers, I think mostly he displayed quiet confidence in the way he talks, with a slight hint of arrogance. No disrespect to Wlad btw, I'm a fan.

    Wlad is shot to ****. If AJ can't stop him he should go back to laying bricks.

    I think that he tends to project an air of professionalism, intelligence, confidence, and strength. He and Pacquiao were like a breath of fresh air and quiet dignity compared to the brash swagger and juvenile trash talk of some of boxing's other bright lights.

    sorry I just have to get this off my chest. I understand the concept of p4p but I'm thinking about just ignoring it all together. I find it funny when people say Crawford is #2 p4p. I don't think i'll ever be as excited for a crawford fight as a am for a fight like Klitschko-Joshua. idk just kind of ranting random I know, I just think this fight could be the FOTY and it should get even more hype

    Laying bricks sucks especially if you're doing it solo.
