    Yeah I know. but he doesn't commit nowhere near as much as AJ does in terms of finishing a guy. That comes with experience too and sometimes you know you have to go 12 rounds and therefore pace yourself.

      Definitely his toughest opponent without question.

      I've never rated Wach personally. He's a stiff. But he can punch and he does take a good shot. I remember he caught Wlad and buzzed him. I hope he tests Joshua's chin a little bit too.

        He usually doesn't commit, but that wasn't the case in that fight. Klitschko hit Wach with everything he had. It wasn't a typical Klitschko fight.

          Mariusz Wach was Chisora's main sparring partner before Chisora got steamrolled by Fury last year. Maybe I voted with my heart a little but I think AJ finishes him inside of 8; as someone else said AJ is more aggressive than Klitschko. Klitschko fights safe, first and foremost, hence why the KO did not come for him. I can see AJ opening Wach up and going in for the kill, I cannot see him being scared away by a plodding giant

            wach is 6'7 but has no jab at all. he's just downright terrible. he can take a good shot so i guess joshua will use him as a human punch bag till the ref stops it(probably early)

              I'm gonna have to watch it again, I remember it being incredibly one-sided. I don't remember Klitschko being especially cut-throat though

                Stiff test. Looking forward to it.

                  Sometimes it's good to bite off more than you can chew.

                    Joshua only has a few questions left to be answered: "Can he take a punch?" "Can he go rounds?"

                      Well he did have a human punching back in front of him. I only remember Klitschko really going for it with combinations once or twice. Maybe thrice.

                      nothing special, just special for Klitschko.
