Comments Thread For: Hatton on Klitschko: Nobody Lasts Forever, Right Time For Joshua

[hugh grant]

Great champs usually have one last great performance. They usually are written off after a bad showing ie against fury being it. Then suprise everyone with a last great perfirmanve.
It maybe against josh.

Calm down sweetie. 4 losses in 68 fights AJ getting stopped by a bin collector in amateurs, knocked out by Pricey in sparring and Whyte having him dancing with his bung shoulder. I know you think AJ is invincible but perhaps you should watch a few more boxing fights. Don't get mad hunny

Klitchcko dropped a total of 10 times in his career....KO'd 3 times , dropped by peters 3 times..lost to tyson fury and has not boxed for over 16 months and will be 41 come fight night facing up to a fighter that has only been momentarily stunned as a pro ....getting dropped by a proffesional heavyweight (price ) in sparring when he only put in the gloves as an amatuer 2 years before and its just sparring btw...has starched every fighter he has faced and is getting better and better as a champion.... no one is invincible son thats true...but it aint gonna be a 42 year old past his prime ex champion that's gonna give joshua that first loss

Fair enough each to their own i still think AJ has a soft jaw. Klitschko by KO

And Wladimir Klitschko has a granite chin, yeah........Lol

Joshua by KO anywhere between 6 and 9 rounds

We will find out. Still think AJ is far too wet behind the ears and Klitschko isn't the spent force like people assume. Wouldn't be surprised if he freaks out when hurt or gasses late but i give him credit for taking the fight this early in career

Not granite just not as soft as Joshuas. Picking AJ to get hurt and panic

Well whoever lands that first big shot will most likely have the upper hand.

I'm pretty sure both guys are going to be tactical and cautious in the beginning because they both know that they can take each other out.

If AJ lands a big right hand flush on Klitschko he will be badly hurt, likewise with AJ if Klitschko lands a big right hand. The chins of both are a wash.

I just don't like Clinchko's jab, clinch, jab, clinch, jab, clinch style. It's beyond boring.

Well you're picking old boring Clinchko and I'm picking the young up and comer. We will see what happens.

I agree for the sake of the division an AJ victory makes it more interesting

I'm hoping. But I do admit I am nervous. You made some good points.

I'm just hoping as you say for the sake of the division. I really want to see Joshua vs Wilder with both undefeated. But who knows if that scenario will happen.

Good stuff

Klitschko will embarrass the glass jaw hype job Joshua.

Inactivity for any fighter is bad. Inactivity for an older fighter is fatal.

This will be a Larry Holmes-ish fight for KLitschko where he plays the part of Ali. Ali went into that fight with a 2 yr layoff. Larry Holmes was a year older than Joshua is now and went on to defend 20 times.
