Sounds like Wlad is picking Josh, and not really surprised by that either.

It sounded more like he wants Joshua to win. Why wouldn’t he also? If someone knocked me out it will sit better with me knowing he is the undisputed champion of the world . Than finding outThere is another fighter that knocked out the fighter that knocked me out.

you felt that strongly about it you had to type it twice?

Wlad wants Joshua to win because a potential win somehow makes Wlad himself look like an even better former champion?? But Fury made the task of defeating Klitschko even EASIER with superb boxing, so much so that Wlad looked and acted light a stunned deer caught in headlights. He couldn't react - Herman Munster on opioids. So why Wlads bias favor for a Joshua win?

Wlad seems to think he can ignore or act like his loss to Fury ever happened. Its like,"if I never talk about it, it never happened." Even more to his condescending point,"I don't know how I ALLOWED Fury to get that win over me, it clearly was my bad, my off night - he's clearly not on my level." But he was. Fury easily won fair & square. So I guess according to Wlads twisted logic: when Fury beats Joshua - Wlad is gonna "shine" like the SUN!!

Yeah I get your point. I can’t say I’m a Tyson Fury fan. I mean I like his theatrics and he can definitely box but he still does not convince me. I’m from the U.K. so I have seen all of Tyson fights. He is just ok. When he fought Vladimir I was convinced he would get a pummelling. Now this is why I don’t give Tyson as much credit as most people do. Did Tyson show me anything in that fight that I had not seen? No, he didn’t box or fight out of his skin he fought how he always fight. Now the seasoned bro in Klitschko I thought such a style would not phase him. It inevitably did and credit has to go to Fury for his awkwardness but it was a dire showing from Klitschko. He didn’t even want to throw a shot and at least miss, was very bizarre. The 12th round which was obviously too late was the only time he attempted to fight and Tyson looked flustered in that round. I look at that fight and I think From Tyson perspective it was perfect conditions. Klitscho never threw a punch and he could dance around him at will. That is the best possible scenario for him. Yet going against Tyson you always stand a chance if you can **** because he is susceptible to being put down.

The Klitscho vs Tyson Fury 2 would have told me a lot because I was confident Klitscho was going to let his hands go and if Fury ended up victorious then I would have hailed him as the truth. So unfortunately I’m not sold on him yet. He is like a Paulie Malignaggi of the heavyweights. A very down to earth guy though I met him in Bolton once by the reebok stadium

I know Joshua haters would come up with all expletives to disregard Klitschko or invert all he's said

Former undisputed heavyweight king Wladimir Klitschko is very familiar with both Deontay Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) and Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs). During the core run of his career, Klitschko had used both boxers as his sparring partners.

"They are completely different fighters. I know both of them. They were both at my training camp. We spent a lot of time with each other. They are completely different fighters"

Thanks for clearing that up for us, Wlad!

That’s how boxing works bro when there’s a fighter that the powers that be wanna push. Or when there’s a big event they wanna sell. I can think of three fairly recent examples.

When they decided to give Pacquiao a major push, they pretended that JMM didn’t have a loss to Chris John a year or two before the rematch with Manny.

They also pretend that Erik Morales wasn’t completely outclassed by Zahir Raheem smack in the middle of his trilogy with Manny. They also pretend that during the trilogy, Morales was in the mist of a 1-5 string, with the only win coming against Manny. Loses to Barrera and David Diaz bookend the trilogy.

They also pretended that Cotto wasn’t completely outclassed by Austin Trout a year or two prior to Miguel’s fight against Canelo. At the time, Canelo-Cotto was the biggest event that could be made. So they had to pretend that Cotto hadn’t already shown noticeable signs of slippage.

The Wladimir/Fury/AJ thing is no different. AJ sells a lot of tickets. So they had to push the Wladimir fight as a changing of the guard. Which is difficult to do if they acknowledge that the guard had already been passed a couple years prior.

Boxing has always taken on the old WWE motto of “if it didn’t happen on TV, it didn’t happen.” The best example is when Hulk Hogan fought André the Giant at Wrestlemania. The biggest intrigue going into that match was whether Hogan could become the “first man to bodyslam André.” Even though it was common knowledge that André had been slammed by multiple guys, including Hogan, on several occasions prior to that match. It’s human nature for fans to wanna believe they’re watching or have watched something great. Which makes it extremely easy to sell them dreams. AJ is simply the most recent dream being sold.
