Who's the favorite in the Joshua vs Klitschko clash?

[BrometheusBob.]

I'm favoring AJ by a bit but it's not an easy fight by any means. If Klitschko shows up as good as he did a few years ago he'll most likely walk away with it. The reason I'm picking AJ is because WK didn't look too hot against Jennings or Fury and the layoff isn't helpful, especially at his age.

[BrometheusBob.]

AJ 8/15 or -188
Wlad 2/1 or 200

Which isn't a very wide favorite.

That's about as wide as Canelo was over Cotto and Thurman was over Porter (in fact, less wide than both of these). Despite the odds at the books those fights were considered 50/50ish by the general public.

Wlad should be fave as he's proven, even if past it.

[Jewish-Reptile]

Usyk beats them both.

[JakeTheBoxer]

It will be like Tyson - Holmes. Wlad is too old in too slow.

[JimGunn]

For you guys suggesting that Wlad should be the favorite, by that I take it you think he is more likely to win? So since the bookies have made Wlad almost a 2 to 1 underdog, meaning that you would win nearly twice what you are betting (plus get your stake back) I would think it make sense that you are all putting money on Wlad, right?

Joshua will be the best weve ever seen him,we dont know if Wlad will be or if he even can be,and he will need to be. Joshua is the proven one actually bc the way hes won fights,while Wlad in his last 3 look somewhat mediocre.

The odds makers wont think of Joshua as highly as i do but they will put him as betting favorite. Make no mistake this is the best guy wlads ever fought and those who cant see that dont study fight footage.This isnt going to be Sam Peter or small Povetkin....this is a 6'6 240 plus monster coming in to do damage,im not sure what Klitchko will bring but if he cant take control of the fight from the start its over.

wlad was shot in 2015.

so he's suddenly not going to be shot in 2017 after a 1.5 year layoff?

[Redd Foxx]

Joshua is the favorite, though I'm pulling for Klitschko. Anthony is a bit green, having never faced good competition, but Wlad looked increasingly hesitant in recent fights, being all but froze up against a guy with little power. Psychological issues on top of a huge layoff should put him as a definite underdog. Would love to see him pull through because I like seeing people overcome personal issues. He's still got all the physical traits necessary to win this, along with an incredible wealth of experience.

AJ is a solid favourite right now. Nothing major, but a solid favourite.
