He's an idiot m8

I see no way that klitchcko can beat joshua , he can't grab and make it a rough and tough physical fight because Joshua is physically stronger , he can't outpunch joshua , he can't stay away from AJ for 12 rounds at 41 years of age and he certainly won't be able to take Joshua's punch consistently ....Lewis was a great fighter but he's one of the worst pundits in boxing ...we all know about his coaching with price and how that ended up , Ali had lots of experience when he faced up to Larry Holmes , Larry holmes had lots of experience when he faced up to Mike Tyson ...we all know how that ended up ...Joshua kos klitchcko within 6 rounds and if klitchcko really though he could beat Joshua he would have signed to fight him instead of choosing an easier brown before he supposedly got injured

Yep.So many people who are picking Wlad have him fighting in this seek and destroy style that he simply hasn't showed before.He jabs ,sways back out of range and if you get close he leans down on you.That's not going to work against a big athletic puncher in my opinion.

I just don't see Wlads style being suited to this fight.It's a bit like when Haye fought Wlad.People picking Haye were describing this come forward leading off style that Haye had never shown in any of his fights.He was a back foot counterpuncher and it was never going to work against a longer guy who could use his reach well.Now we have Wlad,who had based so much of his style on controlling shorter fighters at a distance with his jab up against a guy who is going to be able to reach him just like Fury did.But people are describing some guy with aggression and a workrate who is willing to trade.Wlad switches off his offense as soon as he is in range to be hit.His advanced age isn't going to help here either.

AJ will KO Wlad, and i am a fan of Wlad.

For the record, I can't recall a single time Lewis predicted an outcome that came true.

• Said Grabomir would make easy work of Tyson Fury
• Once said Pacquiao would beat TBE simply because of heart
• Said Cotto beats Canelo because of "experience"

The man has no concept of predicting fights.

Hes always picked against Wlad ,he picked Wlad over Fury b/c. Lewis simply has always wanted to be the best HW British boxer ever...Joshua is a clear threat to that,a Wlad loss for Joshua opens the topic for discussion moreso. He also knows many people around his circles when he was a pro are saying Joshua is better than Lewis was and will exceed him.

in short put your money on Joshua b/c I cant recall Lewis getting a right pick in a championship fight in over a decade.


I will be rooting for Wlad but chances are even slimmer now that he will have more ring rust to deal with,and if hes not pin point accurate here he will not see the 7th round.

[PunchyPotorff]

The very top of the HW division is Joshua and Ortiz... and maybe Parker. Notice, no Klitschko. Too old, unraveled badly vs Fury, only reason he was on top for so long was because of his size, leaning on his opponents, grabbing constantly. Joshua is fast, accurate, very powerful. He has some liabilities, yes, but they're fewer than Wlad deals with now. Expect the ex champ to be stopped in 5.

[Jedi Vader]

No, strong young Anthony Joshua will beat the faded old Wladimir Klitschko.

Wlad will be 41, he will have been inactive for a year and four months and is coming off a loss. He looked shot in his last fight.

Someone bigging up Joshua so you can tell how great your boyfriend Klit is when he wins.

[frosty-g]

Wlad has experience fighting immobile and outreached opponents.But when he fought someone who could move and match his reach he actually looked like someone who had no idea of what to do.I think Joshua could pull a Fury on him especially at his age.

And what type of opponents, if you can call them that, has Joshua faced?

[super-x]

Hah. Funny man. Even fight? What fight were u watching? Lewis had only won 2 rounds out the 6. Was down on all 3 score cards 4
Rounds to 2. Lewis tank was empty by end of 6th. Yes Vk eye was a mess, but by no means was lewis close to a win, shipping punishment lol. Im no vk fan but lewis got lucky by causing that cut in round 3.
