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

Why?

Fury simply outboxed him and Wlad had an off night. The first in over 10 years. Fury and Joshua are nothing alike stylistically though.

Wlad wasn't damaged in that fight the least bit.

I didn't see anything in that fight that told me he's shot

You didnt see that he cant pull the trigger anymore? The fury fight was one of the worst fights Ive ever seen at that level. Youth will be served if he and Joshua fight.

He did look like he couldn't pull the trigger but that could've been more to Fury's movement, reach and size than wlad being completely shot

It's no point in throwing a punch if you're out of distance and won't land

[Chrismart]

This would be great news.
It's a big step up for Joshua.

AJ stops Wlad inside four, AJ would basically do what Sanders did and that power would be too much for Wlad who would still be in there with a punchers chance .Wlads jab would not keep the powerful AJ at bay.

Well I would love to tell you that Wlad overcame his mental setback of being punched & he took some good shots from a lot of heavy handed guys like Haye, Pulev, Tony Thompson(Prime version), Ibragimov but again you have only his KO to consider so i'll not waste time explaining more..
AJ is good now & not great which he can be.. So you ride that train whilst i'll stay grounded until he proves it with the elite level.. A 40yr old Wlad can still win against AJ but a prime Wlad would have decimated him.. Its not always the age mate, Experience can't be bought in a store & you'll see why exactly he had a decade long dominance..

Look your putting klitchcko on an untouchable pedastal and that's simply not that case anymore and how do you know he would have decimated Joshua when it's impossible to know...he has been knocked out in his prime ..plus haye, pulev or Thompson have nowhere near the physical presence of Joshua .....I'm not demeaning klitchcko as a champion as he was a great champion but he was knocked out by sanders,purity and Brewster which shows he was far from invincible.......the way we tell how good Joshua is for him to face off wth champions like klitchcko and if he beats them convincingly then the hype is worthy...again if he loses to klictcho then we will also know....I'm backing Joshua to beat klitchcko if they fight and your saying klitchcko ....we will see who wins....obviously Joshua fancies the job otherwise he would take the easy route which he has never done and for a guy who's had 17 pro fights you can't knock him

[JakeTheBoxer]

Just do it!

[johnnycontrolet]

Right on.. You are backing your man and I'm backing mine.. We can have a bet over when they sign up to fight..

[KillaCamNZ]

Fast Eddie is liable to change his mind between picking up the pen, and putting it on the piece of paper.

I'll certainly believe it when it's signed and sealed.

Disappointed it will push back Parker's shot at the title - but damn, this is a fight everyone can get behind. Young dog against the grizzled vet - awesome.
