I've been waiting for Fury vs Joshua for a long time, and for me personally, I don't think I've ever anticipated a fight more than this one.
I just have a horrible feeling that something is going to happen on Saturday night.
I'm praying for a devastating early KO by Joshua, and then I want to see him grab the mic and demand that Fury fights him.
WAR Joshua!!!!!
This bald fcccker who lives in Stratford again. This is why yer missus left you.
Which boxer isn't vulnerable?
I live in South London with my missus and sweet cuddly cat. I also have full head of hair.
The Wlad fight and too many sparring wars.
He's never been able to get his head off the center line and we all know how many times he's been put over in sparring
I think he used to have OK punch resistance but it's been chipped away over time.
Personally Robert Mckracken has never been the right coach for him, he's too basic, Joshua needed a coach who could teach him to move his head and improve his footwork, Mckracken is an A, B, C boxing trainer who got famous off Carl Froch, but Joshua is fighting heavyweights and doesn't have Frochs superhuman punch resistance.
Joshua should be with an american coach and should also have amercian sparring.
He should whack Pulev easily. That’s the style he has been most effective against his whole career - straight, upright and textbook boxer. And the new things he has added - I doubt Pulev would last 4 rds tbh.
Pulev also doesn’t have the power to hurt him and he’d be gunshy once he feels AJ’s power.
If he doesn’t beat Pulev on Saturday - it’s time for him to retire because that means he’s damaged beyond repair.
While Pulev is decent, he's also 39 year old and was never a big puncher, AJ is safe here, unless Pulev gets his jab going and Joshua fights defensively.
I’m not sure if AJ has it in him to be in another difficult fight against an opponent he should beat.
I think if he was to get knocked down or hurt he might not have it in him to pull through
I think is self-belief maybe shot tbh
Damn really? We will have a conversation Saturday night
Very confident he beats Pulev. I'm not sure he's smart enough to have any real self doubt. I am a bit concerned that we're again hearing how lean he is going into this fight. He was obviously too muscled before, but if he's trying to reinvent permanently as a slick boxer then I fear he'll only be making himself average. It'll be enough for Pulev though.
We always think the next year will bring the big fights but I can't see how they avoid it in 2021. If it's not Fury v Joshua, then it has to be mandatories... and they're all pretty good fights as things stand.
Dude, Pulev is like 140 years old.
He'd have to literally pull an Andy Ruiz and not have trained at all
If AJ loses this fight he's not even Frank Bruno status

Yeah, i agree with all this, Pulev is made for him.
i don't like Pulev, i hope Joshua flattens him, i'll be wearing my under armour tracksuit on Saturday.
AJ always being in danger of being KO’d is part of what makes him an exciting watch. Too bad he’s probably lost his killer edge. Fury - AJ would be fantastic for boxing so hopefully past prime Poolev doesn’t stop that from happening.
I don't really know how good Pulev is.
I remember Wlad knocking him all over the ring, but his tactics in that fight were terrible, he literally stood straight in front of Wlad with his hands in the air and waited to get knocked out.
He's had some decent wins since and he looked good against Hughie who isn't particularly easy to look good against.

Hopefully he does the job
The worry for me is not the Ruiz 1 fight, it’s how petrified and shaky he looked in the second fight the few times Ruiz got close.
Someone’s going to take him out some point. Well Fury is going to, but it’ll happen at some point sooner rather than later even if Fury wasn’t in the equation.
For me, its disappointing to see how Joshua has regressed since the Wlad fight.
I'm no Joshua fan but I'll admit that it was a great performance, even if Wlad was old and rusty, he was still better than the vast majority of the division.
I think the beating he took against Wlad took miles off his clock.
Pulev has a good chance. AJ is vulnerable and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him hurt/stopped
