Considering Pacquiao shot is a whole different ball game, than Wlad. Pacquiao is possibly top 2 the last 10 years, where Wlad has not faced the same amount of ATGness as Pacquiao. Wlad is more of a division keeper. He was the best of the rest, in a time of a struggling HW division - And I'm not only talking about the quality of entertainment in the fights. I just don't see the comparison.
I think WK beats Anthony Joshua

The fight before Fury, he didn't look particularly great again Jennings (the fight was away from home), but he still won every round, and the fight before that, he knocked Pulev (arguably a top 3 HW right now) into next week.
Love how you ignored the bet that was offered to you on page 14 like it never happened, don't seem as confident
as you're making out

Honestly, Wlad last to Fury because Wlad wouldn't let his hands go on top of Fury being big, strong and quick enough to now allow Wlad to do any of his Head Lock Slowing the Pace of the Fight Down Tactics and winning Ugly. So more credit goes to Tyson and Peter Fury for having a excellent gameplan for Wlad! HOWEVER, because Fury was able to do it doesn't automatically means that Joshua will be able to do it because Joshua don't have the footwork if quickness of Fury.Considering Pacquiao shot is a whole different ball game, than Wlad.

Also your talking about fighters STYLE I'm talking about as far as where both fighters are in their career. It is the final Chapter for BOTH we can all agree on that right, also people trying to push them into retirement because they both lost their last big fight. I'm saying just because Mayweather beat Pacquiao and Fury beat Wlad, that doesn't Automatically means that they're done and now everybody else will beat them.Comment

I'm predicting AJ beats Wlad because of the age factor and that he can only get worse hwile my boy AJ can only get better...but my argument is, if Wlad wins, it's not an upset. Plain as day.
In terms of a prime or even slightly post prime Wlad, he would be too much for the current version of AJ but that's not what's being discussed here.Comment

Klitschko has always looked **** against guys who move their feet. Fury, Thompson, Jennings, Ibragimov are examples. Joshua fights in the pocket, comes forward in a straight line and doesn't move his head. I honestly think he's made for Wlad. If it wasn't for Joshua's undeniable raw power & Wlad's absence from the ring, i'd call it a mismatch.Comment

Wlad really doesn't like people his own size. He likes a small prey, who he can keep at bay with some long jabs.I'm predicting AJ beats Wlad because of the age factor and that he can only get worse hwile my boy AJ can only get better...but my argument is, if Wlad wins, it's not an upset.

I think everybody is underestimating Wlad here. He will not be old and slown but rather refreshed and hungry to win his titles back.Comment

based on what ?
ever heard ' you're only as good as your last fight'
Wlad was a shot, old fighter, terrified to throw punches in his last fight.
now its nearly 2 years on, he's 41 years old and hasnt been in the ring since. and you think magically he's not going to be shot anymore ?
