But why is it outrageous to say he is better than Fury and Haye? Fury has a great win over Wladimir, who is a totally different style to Joshua so yes he is more proven based on one win, Joshua's performance against him remains to be seen so I don't think it's outrageous since Fury doesn't have any other great wins or defences as the champ.
Haye's reputation as a top HW is partly based on his cruiserweight gold dust, lets look at his heavyweight wins:
Chisora, Valuev, Ruiz, Audley, Barrett..... If Joshua was 18-0 with these wins people would still say he is unproven hype going into the Wladimir fight, Haye got a pass because of what he did as a cruiserweight.Last edited by Caught Square; 02-11-2017, 06:53 PM.

I'm picking AJ, he has looked amazing so far he would destroy Fury, Wilder but I don't give AJ a 100% chance of beating Wladimir, Wladimir is the most dangerous opponent for him to fight but If he beats him he will unify the HW division.

Originally posted by Jim Tom View PostIt is possible but unlikely. I think we have seen enough scenarios where WK can be beaten. He has his style which he used for long but we know he can be unsettled. There is a way to get past his defense and if you can hit him a bit he can not adjust. AJ doesn't just hit, he explodes in your face, he is equally big but maybe stronger, he is faster and always has the first mover advantage. Having said that, the heavyweight only takes one punch to change the fight and we don't know how much AJ can take a shot.

Will be a 2-3 round massacre poor old Wlad is in a world of trouble here. Against a man just as big and strong, and with equal reach he fights a man with all the tools to nullify his jab, grab and lean tactics. Even a prime Wlad would be in the brown stuff against AJ, this faded version will be blown away and pretty quickly. Ultimately at no point in his career would Wlad's suspect mandible stand up to the kind of power Joshua brings, so not sure how anyone thinks an aging slowing version of Wlad has a snowball in hell's chance. This fight will be a huge anti-climax, and in the aftermath all we will hear is how did anyone seriously think that Wlad so old and bad he lost to Tyson Fury 18 months ago while barely throwing a punch really had a chance against a young monstrous punching lion like Joshua.

Anthony Joshua is getting KTFO April 29th and all you casuals and casual London fans of his will be crying.
AJ been fighting bum after bum after bum. Klitschko will be fighting for pride not money (which is a bonus & he doesn't need the $$$£££)
Hearn will have a BIG smile on his face and will be collecting his 20%.
