    Tyson-Holmes seems more likely. An old guy who still has a huge amount of skill and understanding of the sport but just lacks the cutting reflexes, reactions that he used to have due to age/inactivity, and gets blown out because of it.

    It's possible that AJ has a shit gas tank once he's under pressure and it's the second half of the fight. But he seems to pick his moments pretty well, I don't see him throwing so many wild shot as Foreman did or being so aggressive.

      AJ is too young and strong for an old version of Wlad.

        Imagine if Klit tried the rope-a-dope a la Ali against Joshua. His fragile chin would be in pieces. But if it were vintage Wlad he could've possibly stopped Joshua getting off with a piston jab for 12 rounds.

          Wlad's chin isn't as bad as people say, clearly it's not as good as Muhammed Ali's but I rewatched the Haye fight yesterday and Haye was landing right hands flush and wouldn't let Wlad clinch, he was never wobbly and took them all good

                yeah I know but at the time Foreman was knocking out everyone in front him and was supposed to easily beat Ali, Ali proved his greatness by dispatching him by KO. Holmes was an old former champ who reigned over the division for several years like Wlad, he was coming off a layoff and two losses to a light heavyweight, so Tyson easily beat him. My question is will Wlad be too great for Joshua or will Joshua be too young
                ok. got it. im guessing wlad has 2 good fights left in him; vs aj and the fury rematch.

                  Neither in terms of each capabilities , Wlad has way more more fire power than Holmes had and Joshua is no Foreman bc he thinks and is fast . This is 2 freight trains colliding that both are used to being the dominant fighter/puncher . This could look like a what if Lewis had fought Vitali 2 type of fight ,2 big punchers that are both 6'6 SHW 's .....other than the Vitali / Lewis fight i cant recall 2 guys packing this type of power both weighing 240 plus , this match probably exceeds the Tyson /Ruddock fight of 91 of 2 such fighters who hit that hard fighting eachother .......

                      Matches the scenario and hype.. AJ is better than grant in skills but experience is about same..
