Undefeated HW Champion for 10 years straight, who has lost his last fight against an insane but highly talented illusive opponent. VS a guy whose best win is going life and death with the domestic level Dylian Whyte, and won because Whyte wasnt in very good shape and gassed. With all due respect, if it was not for Wlad being 40 years old, and possibly being a declining force, no one would have any doubt about the result. I think Wlad wins by TKO in 6, because I think AJ is square and will be out maneuvered. I will be surprised to see the fight actually happen, because AJ still might pull out close to fight time.
I don't think so. Joshua is the most Explosive fighter that Wlad has fought in a very long time. Joshua's youth and Athletism and more importantly his willingness to fight the best at such an early time in his pro career will propell him as the new face of Heavyweight boxing once he beats Wlad. Wlad couldn't pull the trigger and that blimp Fury, and I doubt he'd pull the trigger against Joshua.
For vlad to.win he must get out of the early rnds take Joshua.into deep water and wait for him to run out of gas .I don't think Vlad can do this at his age.
Everyone is explosive when knocking over bums. The nearest thing to a test Joshua has had is Dillian Whyte and he barely made it through. Why give an untested fighter so much credit? Some people never learn!
Well to be fair, Fury wasn't tested either, but some people will never learn, that it doesn't matter what's happened in previous fights, it matters what happens on the day of. And the oaf Fury proved that.
He sure had been tested, he'd fought better opponents than Joshua who at least fought back so he proved he can deal with live opponents of all sorts of different styles. All Joshua's opponents (again with the exception of Whyte) have been stationary targets barely throwing anything back.
Cunningham and Chisora are kind of way better than the bums AJ has faced. They might be about Christian Hammer level.
"Deep water"??? Wlad needs to land a hard shot or two with his devastating power and it'll be over. Look at how Chambers, Austin, and Brock fell, all like a rock, in various "depths of water". With his kind of power, if he lands solidly, they are cold before they hit the mat, no matter his deep the water
Lol Exactly. CAN'T WAIT until Wlad cracks Joshua with that left hook. If he thinks his brains were scrambled from Whyte's shots.... Lol
People are putting a lot into that 2nd round against Whyte. A round Whyte still lost and didn't put Joshua down. I think some of you need to watch that fight again, he was lightly hurt, staggered, whatever you want to call it, but still had the presence of mind to cover up, weather the storm and was back on the front foot shortly after. Talk about clutching at straws! For the record, I think Wlad wins on points, but some of the nonsense on here makes me laugh.
