I think the thing about joshua is hes a finisher...he doesnt let you off the hook. The question is...can he get wlad into a finishing position. If wlad forces him to keep resetting..then i think joshua may get caught in between and get lightsed out himself.

When Vitali fought Lewis, youth didnt help much.
Never been a fan of Wladimir but if he is a great fighter like many claim he is, every great fighter has that one great victory left in them and this might be Wlad's.

that been said, Wlad is just too old and rusty at this point
I dont like his chances against a young, hungry fighter with power like Joshua
Wlad doesnt have Vitalis chin to compensate for his waning reflexes in his old age
he might get KOd

He's not Tyson Fury - A 6ft9, gangly, unorthodox, cagey switch-hitter he is a big, stiff, upright and very basic and one dimensional boxer-puncher with very limited head movement and cement feet who will be right in front of Wladimir.
Wladimir has never struggled or had any real issues with guys like that. He typically struggles with guys more athletic than himself that show a lot of movement. Joshua can try but its not natural to him and I assure you he will gas out if he does.
From my experience guys that stiff don't ride a shot well and guys that musclebound don't have great stamina.
Its impossible to say until fight night how far gone Wladimir is now but stylistically this reminds me rather of the Pulev fight in many ways. He is past prime, he maybe shot but I'm still not sure I see enough in Joshua to confidently say he takes it.
What advantages does he truly have apart from Youth?
I don't see any

Unless Wlad drop both his hands and asked for combo on his face then AJ isn't stopping him in 2 rounds, Wlad is 41? Not 61 and his experience of clinching, mauling, wrestling and holding would make him last at least 2 rounds.

That said, joshua has a blend of abilities Klitschko has never faced.
Height and reach equal to him
Legit one punch ko power
Good handspeed
youth
in shape
unbeaten
Pick an opponent wlad has ever faced that has had that blend of abilities.
You add in that klitschko is fighting away from home, so he won't have his spongey ring, ref who allows him to bearhug, and all his other little advantages, plus wladamir is 41 and lost his last fight and you have to admit, it's backs to the wall time for klitchko.
This isn't Tony thompson or jameel mccline coming to lay down for a payday
