Will you give age 41 Klitschko credit if he beats Joshua?

[SN!PER]

Any man alive who beats Joshua should get credit.

He has two freaking wrecking balls for fists.

[Weltschmerz]

Because Fury is a very natural BOXER who also beat Vlad mentally before the fight.

AJ is an big athletic guy who boxes.

Vlad beat himself mentally.

[Weltschmerz]

To answer the question, it would be one of Vlad's biggest career wins at this stage.

[LacedUp]

It would be the best win on his resume.

AJ is no scrub. I would definately give Wlad credit if he wins.

That's such a simplified answer. "he beat wlad mentally", to give fury no credit for completely out boxing wlad. Doing what no one could do for 10 years, for 12 rounds.

It would make joshua look like a hype job if Wlad beat him handily, joshua as EVERY physical advantage he could possibly have

[soul_survivor]

Does aging, inactive Wladimir Klitschko deserve credit if he beats Anthony Joshua?

Ofc, a middle aged man would have beaten the best contender, almost half his age. If he wins by KO, its even more impressive. Then all Wlad needs to supplant himself as a true top 10 hw atg is to rematch and beat Fury.

[Chrismart]

For sure. Whoever wins this fight gets big props from me, it's a good fight.

[jmrf4435]

In my honest opinion it would up Wlads ATG status greatly

[Tom Cruise]

Obviously yes.

Though if Joshua went on to do jack **** alla Jeff Lacy, then you cant give him as much credit retrospectively compared with if AJ went on to dominate the division.
