Lets get it settled: AJ vs WK

[Jewish-Reptile]

I'll make a decision once I see them in the pressers or the weigh in. If Haye is right, Klitchko is struggling badly.

Didnt Haye absolutely embaress himself with his last prediction over Wlad ? I recall a toe and an open workout whereby he trained to face Klitschko by facing Adam Booth in platform shoes and a glove on the end of a stick to mimic a plodding jab ! Never seen anything as funny, no surprise he didnt wanna fight once in the ring with Dr. Steelhammer.

Haye is just terrified Klitschko destroys his hopes of another ppv versus AJ.

not making official prediction until the night of the fight as i keep swaying, but i think i will probably edge towards the robot. I know he cant pull the trigger much but he might have one big night left in him, i cant shake that dillain whyte fight out of my head when i think about joshua and whether he really is legit.

Klitschko isn't finished by a long shot, he'll outbox Joshua and stop him late. AJ is going to get jabbed to bits. Credit to him for stepping up but he lacks the skill to beat Wlad.

Poll is close

I have the feeling Joshua obliterates a finished Wlad in a way that everyone overreacts to.

But then many of my feelings are often wrong.

I want Klinchko to technically outclass AJ, take it the distance, maybe even get him out of there
HOWEVER
I think AJ is too pumped-up (literally), too hungry... plus Klinchko is shot to **** and old as ****. Hate to say it but I can see AJ taking this. And it is gonna suck to see Sky go into over-hype if it happens

[SN!PER]

I see a couple factors that are tilting this in Joshua's favor.

If Wlad fights as defensively as usual, it's actually possible for this fight to go the distance. And Joshua is the younger, more marketable fighter. If the fight is close, they're giving it to Joshua.

Wlad was inactive last year following his loss, while Joshua fought three times. Wlad has been in the gym, and is hungry to regain the titles, but he has been through a lot of stress in recent times. He really doesn't seem like the same Wlad. Struggles can sometimes bring out the best in a person, but they can also take a toll on one's mental and physical health. In a sport as demanding as boxing, that can lead to downfall.

I am going to go against the grain and logic? and pick Wladimir Kiltschko! throughout his entire career, Wladimir Kitschko as been yearning for that career defining moment! he has been dreaming for that one fight, where everybody is plotting his ultimate doom! and this is it, THIS IS THAT FIGHT! this is the moment that him and Manny Steward used to speculate would manifest at some point during his career!

Understand! I am under no illusion, Anthony Joshua from a purely physical perspective? is a incredibly dangerous physical threat! The man is a supreme athlete, who posses power that can change your life! but as a fighter, we don't really know whether he can box? He was beaten in his first fight during the Olympics, because the Cuban Heavyweight showed him some sweet science! Like i have just stated before, Anthony Joshua is a great athlete! but i don't think he is naturally gifted fighter! i believe when he is posed with a technical problem inside of the ring? he will revert back to his original fundamental type! which is a big strong black guy who can punch.....

On April 29th! The Ghost of Manny Steward is going to be inside Wembley Stadium! and in Wladimir Kiltschko's corner....

Every single champion, has one last fight left in them! this is that fight for Wladimir Kiltschko! this is that moment...

This is a very intriguing match-up. Hard one for me to pick either way.

I'm leaning a bit toward AJ. I think Wlad will be more motivated since his loss, and want to prove something. But like the poster above me said, he's been inactive for awhile.

But more than that, I think the main reason that he lost to Fury is because he finally fought someone his own size. I think that size gives him problems. No more leaning on his opponent all night. And what will he do if he can't clinch well against Joshua.

He's also in his 40's. My hunch is Joshua takes it.
