    People accuse Wladimir of fighting in a very weak dud area and that it would count against him big time when comparing him to other ATG. AJ is being regarded as his most dangerous opponent and some people have even criticized him for taking on such a huge risk.

    But if he prevails over the red hot Joshua, can it push him right up there with the ATG ranks?

    without doing anything great, aside from commitment to keep going of course.

    Already an ATG but a victory over the alleged next boss at heavyweight is a good thing.

    If AJ does what Wlad has done and dominates the next decade, a win over him would do wonders for his Wlad's ATG reckoning in due time. :deal: But yeah, he's already an ATG.

    It's giving Joshua an absurd level of credit - which he is yet to deserve based on what he has achieved - that beating him would tip Wlad from HOF'er into an ATG. Whatever happens at the end of this month, Wlad's legacy and place in the sport has been secured...

    A young fast big punching beast in joshua, yes it would push him up a few rankings in the ATG rankings.

    Even if joshua loses, hes still one of the best, and could still dominate afterwards,.
