Yes.

Klitschko winning will be terribel for boxing

While i agree in part, they want a Black AMERICAN champion

the american media would soon turn on Joshua if he beats a few of their guys

Just like they did to Lewis

What will happen tonight is anthony joshua will make light work of klitschko and ko him when ever he steps on the gas.....all the posters who picked klitschko to win will then say he was 41 and should be expected to lose , ive seen it so many times where the media and the fans expect the impossible out of fighter when in reality he has a very small chance of winning....i will use this as a reference when it happens
