That "history and time" are not on his side is not necessarily true. Vladimir is an exceptional physical specimen, especially as a forty one years young heavyweight. He has far more experience, having fought the top heavyweights of the last dozen years. Joshua is very good and is a threat but he has never fought anyone who is the caliber of Vlad Klitschko. I hope and expect Vlad will go into this fight as a hunter with the skills to back up his resolve. Don't be too surprised if he gets to Joshua early and often.
