Surely AJ would be the favourite It's a tall order for Wladimir not out of the question that he lands one but I don't think he would, I'd love to see this fight be made with all the undeserving belts Fury is holding hostage.
Joshua has shown very little footwork, he hasn't shown that can box off a jab.
Wlad would be by far the best opponent Joshua's faced and he'd have a field day popping Joshua every time Joshua goes to throw that telegraphed right hand.
It's not inconceivable that Joshua does land and hurt Wlad at some point, but that's his only hope. If it comes anywhere close to be being a boxing match then Joshua loses, badly.
To put it another way, Fury beat Wlad with movement, he was bigger, had longer range and showed excellent footwork.
Joshua's never shown that he has that in his ability, he's throws an unconvincing jab then moves in for the big flurry. Klitschko is much better schooled than the people Joshua has managed to knock over, none have anywhere near the ability of Wlad so I don't know how I could honestly favour Joshua to win. Unless Wlad really has old manned and cops for a big shot and allows Joshua to jump on him, but we don't know if Wlad is at that stage yet.
