When Joshua destroys Klitschko...

If Joshua destroys Wlad is because Wlad is old and rusty as ****. prime Wlad would flatten Joshua any day of the week and twice on sunday Joshua will still deserve credit, but not much

AJ should get credit and rightly so.. With Furry going nuts Wlad still is the man to beat at the division.. That said look at AJs resume and opponents quality and then look at Wlad the gaping difference in quality tells you this is a guy a level above AJ... But when AJ loses he still wouldn't have lost much credibility..

People that already don't like AJ will not give him much credit. They will tell you Wlad was old and a shot fighter so this win doesn't really mean anything. I can't give him much credit. He should beat Vlad easily. i hate to say that but the guy is young and athletic and is fighting a guy who has very few weapons, one of them is usually his size... All AJ has to do is go in there and load up on his chin. Vlad can't counter punch, so what can he do if AJ just treats him like the stationary fighters he has fought?...Vlad moves better than the guys AJ has fought, with the exception of Whyte, but hes still a stationary target. If AJ wants it he has to just go in there and keep Vlad reacting until he catches him. If he backs off and shows respect for Vlad then he is not that good, next up!

He deserve credit but it wont elevate him to nr 1

He would have beaten a 41-42 year old coming off of a loss and a year and a half layoff....those are facts..it would be a decent win but nothing special at all..Not sure why there is so much hype for this fight to be honest..Joshua is supposed to win..The upset would be Wlad winning

Joshua is my favorite Heavyweight atm. If he beats Wladimir he'll be the man to beat.

He deserves credit if he wins. I'm not a fan of his but this will be far and away his best opponent. Yeah Wlad is older and inactive but he would still beat anybody that isn't a top HW, so if Joshua wins, it should be seen as a good win.

He has to win the fight first. I think he will win based on what I have seen out of him so far. If his chin holds up I think he is the best heavyweight fighting today. Some will probably give him lots of credit if he wins and others probably won't.Even a very old and well past prime Wlad is still very dangerous. He might have had an off night when he lost to Fury and fight much better than that against A.J.

He'd deserve credit, but given Wlad is coming off a loss he'd still have work to do to be No. 1 If he won.

Then what? Will people respect Joshua for his win or will they disregard it because of Wladimir's age and the fact that he already lost to Fury? idk about all that, Vlad has a good shot to win with his strength draining tactics.
