Who will you be rooting for, Klitschko or Joshua?

[The Hammer]

If you root for (or against) someone simply because of the the colour of their skin, then you are a ****ing ****head. End of.

You mean Kigali, Larry, The Big Dunn, siablo14 and Brometheus Bob?

For the first time ever I'm cheering for Klitschko. For the most part I just enjoyed cheering against him because his fans would get pretty emotional when anyone hacked on him. I never minded him but I just liked others better. I am 1.5 years older than him so I appreciate what he is doing in his 40s. I hope he beats Joshua in a good fight. I still want him to fight Fury again but I would like to see all the top guys go at it. This is one of those big fights.

Wlad was always a classy dude. And he's been a great champ who has built a HOF career.

But honestly, in the ring, I was generally bored. And Im not a fan of the 1-2-clinch combination. And truthfully, alot of the clinching is illegal tactics, that bad refs just let him get away with.

I mean for the most part, it didnt matter, bc he was dominating his opponent, but actively seeking to clinch is illegal. The worst occasion was the Povetkin fight, when Pov actually came out in the first rounds with fire. Then Wlad clinched away, the ref let him get away with it, and Pov let him get away with it too.

Anyways, I am not a nostalgiac dude. I want Wlad, BHop, Cotto, Pac, JMM, all of them to go away to make way for the young lions. Well, Pac still can offer the young guys a challenge, but otherwise -- go away old folks!! Enjoy your retirement, youve earned it.

Also, impressed that Joshua is willing to step up, even if he probably needs a bit more seasoning.

So WAR JOSHUA!!

Im surprised the poll is so close.

I expected people to root against Klit because in general he is regarded as boring.
And Josh is young and exciting.

You're the same way FREEDOM

Go outside Frenchy....it'll be OK.

Vlad, the greatest HW since Vitali. You gotta root for him.

Ahhh yes...vitali

the one the quit on his stool because Chris Byrd was walking him down.

...but his shoulder was hurt doe.

Wilder had a broken hand AND a torn shoulder...yet...he didn't quit.

Hmmmm.

[SensFullViolenc]

Hey Im no Wlad fan. And you know how the HOF works - any HW who dominates for a while gets in.

But even if you take away the HW bias, I think Wlad gets in. He dominated his division for years. Not alot of big wins, but thats not his fault, he didnt duck anyone.

I dont consider him a slam dunk HOF, as many do, but I think hes done enough to get in.

[hogey]

Will be cheering for Joshua, think he will destroy Klitschko inside 3 rounds. i much prefer an exciting young KO artist than a negative, cynical fighter who spends more time grabbing and leaning than punching. I honestly think he would have destroyed even a prime Wlad he has the size to ward off Klitschkos hugging tactics, the reach to stop Klitschko trying to steal the fight from the outside and no way Klitschkos suspect whiskers will stand up to Joshua's wrecking ball power. After so many years of a champion who could put a glass eye to sleep a new exciting champion is just what the sport needs.
