    Wlad never comes into a fight underprepared. If he was a diminished version of what he was in his prime years this is no surprise to anyone, and not something that Joshua can be criticised for, especially considering he was a 16 fight novice at the time stepping up against a legend, and plenty were giving Wlad a great chance.

    40+ he was not near his peak imo, probably 70%. An 80% Wlad sparks Joshua, 90% he bounces him like a yo-yo, prime Wlad at 100% is his Daddy, so much so Eddie steers him another route

    His reflexes were still there, but on the decline.
    He definitely missed a lot of punches that night, likely due to his age. But physically, he was in fantastic shape. Strong, fast, copious amounts of stamina.

    For someone 40 + yes I agree, but its not the full picture, hes still old, his speed and reflex's would be slower, punch resistance not as good etc. Same with everyone at the end of their careers

    Only experience remains, and it can give an older fighter the edge.

    Wlad was at 100%...............for his age. He just didn't have it in him anymore.

    Arguing percentages like it’s some measurable thing.

    Wlad would have won if he had pushed for a knockout instead of listening to his brother

    so...no poll option at all above 70%? Results are automatically biased.
    for what it's worth I would say WK was better than in previous fights. He was more motivated, less lazy and more aggressive. Prob 75%.

    Wlad did look terrible. His left hook looked telegraphed, slow and missed most of the time by a mile. The precision he showed in his prime was gone. His stamina was horrible and he got tired after throwing 3-4 punches. Reflexes were gone since Jennings fight.

    Because Yarde hasn't beaten anyone of note (as in top 30) before he fights Kovalev. AJ had beaten Breazeale, Whyte, Martin and Molina before he fought Klitschko

    And both are boring as ****. Tunde is off his tits and it's mint
