Comments Thread For: Hearn Crossing Fingers That Joshua vs. Klitschko Gets Finalized

Indeed.

Well i'm not going to say Wlad wins easily as he is 40, nobody beats father time. I think people might read too much into how much he has left on the back of the Fury fight. Fury's style would have been a total nightmare for Wlad even 5 years ago, he may not have won, but Wlad would never have an easy night with Fury.

Has Joshua really got any attributes Wlad has never really seen before? Joshua is a smaller than Wlad i believe, flat footed too. As an opponent for Wlad, he's essentially the opposite to what Fury was. Wlad has been in with guys who have power, but they rarely landed a shot. If Joshua beats Wlad, he needs to show things he has never ever had to show yet but he seems a fairly one dimensional fighter to me with a style that Wlad likes.

Joshua is bigger but hardly by much.

Joshua is as big as wlad...same reach but quicker with combinations and I would pretty much say also stronger....so when Joshua simply walks through klitchckos defence what are you gonna say then and no klitchcko has never faced anybody quite like Joshua unless you include sanders,Brewster,purity who all knocked klitchcko out lol....Joshua will brutally stop klitchcko inside 7 rounds wait and see

Joshua is bigger , physically more stronger , quicker hands, younger and hungrier and if Bryant Jennings could push klitchcko backwards wait till Joshua comes at him......it's ain't goons end well for a 41 year wlad

i am taking all bets that joshua beats wlad to a pulp if this is made........i love analyzing styles and u guys are WRONG about this one.


way off......

i know this sounds very ret@rded but it's simply the output mixed with joshuas size. wlad won't be able to grab and hold on due to size. he will be forcd to stand there and actually box. thats where joshuas output reeks all kinds of havoc on wlad. wlad sometimes only throws 10 punches in a round.


you guys just don't get it. this fight is a set up and wlad will take a beaten.

but oh well. lets just get it signed.......

Joshua has had a silver spoon in his mouth since he started boxing

I can't wait til the day someone knocks it right out of there.

Joshua got given the Olympic gold medal on a silver plate, looks like he's gonna do the same with the belts.

Eddie knows a young hungry Joseph Parker is a lot more dangerous than a defeated Klitschko.

I've never seen a fighter have it as easy as Joshua.

Were you an athlete? Because thats close to the most ridiculous statement I have ever seen on this board ever. You don't get "handed" a gold medal. The training, the qualifying, and the execution is worthy of respect. You don't get handed belts either. These men are fighters, they have more courage than you can begin to imagine.

AJ earned his position, exciting fighter, vibrant personality, fights for his people, and KNOCKS PEOPLE OUT.

My gosh just be quiet

"Eddie knows a young hungry Joseph Parker is a lot more dangerous than a defeated Klitschko. "

I would give more of a fair chance Joshua wins , this is more of step up than anyone he can face , Klitchko would put Parkers lights out to suggest Joshua is taking the easy road AGAIN is idiotic ! The guy has taken on the better fighters and is on a totally different level now anyway you WANT to twist things.... @ everyone .

[Sugarhitman]

Joshua is indeed taking the easy route...Hearns even said that Klitschko was on the "slide"...They believe that Klitschko is finished. Look how they responded when Wilder called them out for a unification bout...they were stammering and stuttering...Hearns and AJ are like a pack of opportunistic jackals who prey on the weak.

If you're one of the primary negotiators, why would you "cross your fingers"?? I think it's pretty clear that this fight mostly relies on Hearn saying yes. I get the impression that he threw back an unreasonable offer and will blame failure to make the fight on Wlad's team. I really want this to happen, but I don't believe Hearn.
