Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs. Joshua Getting Close as Both Sides Wait For Rulings

its not going to happen, dont want to be mr doom and gloom but people are naive if they think joshuas going to fight him

I think it'll happen, even if Joshua loses I can see a Brook like GGG scenario unfolding whereby AJ loses no reputation with the British casuals due to having lost to the super hard hitting Klitschko, he may come out of it with a points loss and gone 12 with a super champ.

If the Brits think Brook is was competitive in the GGG fight AJ hasn't anything to lose and everything to gain if he wins, should he win he will be celebrated as an ATG by Hearn and Sky.

damn joshua isnt ***ing around.. imagine him vs wilder next year.. probably ppv

I am a little worried for Joshua, great he's taking a challenge.. and even though Wlad is past it.. he still knows how to clinch and his power is still there..

Joshua's chin was shook against Whyte.. this could be his first loss

I actually think it wont until mid next year & depending upon what Wlad has to go through to get his titles.. Wlad needs to rake up those titles soon.. Also Hyena Hearn says he wants unification of sorts ( I see that as a pre-requisites for this fight).. They will be happy to face Parker & then someone else next year until Wlad gains a title or two.. We will wait for WBO's news after 10 days & WBA is still waiting the official word from Fury camp - apparently they were never informed formally..

If this fight happens I'm more than happy.. But again, I have my doubts..

[The plunger man]

Mouth watering fight.. But I'll wait until Hyena Hearn is really willing to risk his cash cow seriously.. AJ will realize that **** just got real when he tastes that left hook..

Don't talk rubbish 85.... Hearn has consistently put his fighters in tough fights....quigg with frampton,crolla with linares, brook with golovkin and he did with joshau when everybody was saying his world title fight was too soon...now if they do fight lets see klitchcko take one of Joshuas quick right hands...game over its gonna be

I agree.
... and big money fights are very few these days -- Hearn knows well.

I am furious that Fury wasted so many critical last years of Wlad.. I'm not even sure Wlad has anything left now. A fcuking year past, no fight with Fluffy Furry. It's absurd.. ****** gypo scum roided himself to barely pull a win, coward is now in hiding mode

I'm not saying he doesn't put his guys on tough fights, he does if there is a good money involved.. We are talking about his cash cow here - AJ.. You know AJ & Wlad is a stadium fight & can do great numbers right.. Hearn is on record for saying its too early for Joshua & also he expects Wlad to win the WBA title so they would promote this as a unification..

Joshua's quick, i'll give you that.. But does he have a good chin - ???? (Feel free to fill in because nobody knows)
Wlad is not your average Whyte & I don't need to say much about his power as it speaks for itself.. Wlad has more tricks up his sleeve than AJ..

wlad is for the taking........joshuas not gonna fight wlad? u mean the wlad who has an incredibly low punch out put and at the sign of any kind of punch tries to hug smaller opponents? also the same wlad who just put a pathetic performance against fury?

this is a perfect time for team joshua to jump on wlad in which they are foaming at the mouth to do.


you're crazy........

[Dana White Sr]

lmao, some of you guys think joshua don't really want the fight or believe he needs more experience. *attention* it's 2016, and wlad is 40 and definitely is showing it. im not the biggest joshua fan but wlad is the perfect opponent for him right now. joshua stops him!

i would be inclined to agree, as us brits usually like a gallant loser more than a winner (one of the worst things about our sporting culture) but that doesnt take into account how low rated fury is here, who beat wlad. And because wlad lost to fury, he is now seen as crap (as demonstrated by godfly comment) The average bloke on the street thinks joshua knocks out fury in a round and sees him as invincible, so if joshua goes in there and struggles with wlad people will be like, wtf, joshua must be ****. Hearns not completely ****** and he knows this is a hard hard fight.
And if the odds are good i'll be lumping money on wlad and i dont usually bet, cause i can imagine sky having some ridiculously ****** odds on joshua winning. With this fight i just cant shake that dillain whyte fight out of my head, i know anyone especially at heavyweight can be hurt, but it honestly looked like a fight between two novices at times
