    Was Wladimir Klitschko underrated as a HW champion or is AJ just overrated?

    Also, why did Wlad never fight Deontay Wilder? Was he scared? High risk low reward?

    Also, if Deontay Wilder beats AJ, does that make AJ a bum or will people admit Wilder is the king?

    Wilder ducked Wlad and Haye because they slapped him about in sparring. They were the two biggest money fights and he never attempted to fight them.

      1. Klitschko rocked wilder twice with jabs and knocked him cold with a medium range hook in sparring. Wilder was sent home early as he couldnt handle it. All of this is 100% confirmed by eyewitnesses.

      2. Klitschko called Wilder out to unify when wilder got given the wbc. Shelly Finkel said wilder needed time to develop and ducked the fight

        Wilder didn't want any part of Wlad until he lost to Fury.

        Fury was the man to do it... for everyone... including AJ himself.

          Even when Wlad lost to Fury Wilder wasn't pushing for the Wlad fight. He had his buddy Fury appear in the ring after his fight for publicity though.

            Because Wilder wanted no part of Wlad that's why. Those sparring sessions told him all he needed to know.

                Basically both, although Wlad's legacy will last longer and he will gain respect long after Joshua's career is over.

                I believe Joshua's limitations will be found out at some point over the next 24 months and after a couple of big fights he will retire.

                He will be remembered fondly as the most humble HW Champion to have walked the earth.

                  Deontay Wilder wants to fight Wladimir Klitschko to unify the heavyweight titles. And Wilder has a plan to beat him.

                    AJ is the best hw on the planet. Thats all anyone is saying. Wilders been champ 3 or 4 years and not faced two opponents as good as AJs last two.

                    As for Wlad, he is arguably top 15 or top 10 all time hw and most people are starting to come around to it but he never had the level of opposition to be an out and out, lock on for the top 10.

                    No over or underrating there.
