I know, I was like, what??? Klitschko don't care, he could care less.

Now if it was his trainer Banks saying that, yeah, Klitschko mad.

Lol

He's probably friends with wlad that's why he said that, but any logical person should be picking Joshua.

As much as I want to take Klitz??? It's HARD to ignore they are the same size so Klitz won't be able to clinch and drop weight. Klitz also has fought lately against TERRIBLE Heavyweights!!!! And this isn't a Jennings type of undefeated???

My heart says Klitz???

I hope this isn't a Hopkins fall out of the ring moment... I hate to say it but Klitz is most likely going to get KTFO!

Never know why people get nostalgic on older boxers. All you have to look at is the Fury fight. People saying that Joshua hasn't been in with anyone as experienced as Wlad. What kind of logic is that? Nor had Fury.

People were dumping all over Fury prior to him winning. He was chinny, he hadn't fought good opponents - specifically he had NEVER been in with anyone as talented as Wlad.

Look at the Fury that fought Wlad. Now look at the Joshua that is fighting Wlad. Who has looked more impressive?

Now add in that Klitschko is 18 months older, all of that time inactive.

I'll be amazed if Klitschko shows us something other than deterioration in timing and athleticism. I'll be amazed if AJ can't beat an older more inferior version of Wlad than we saw 18 months ago.

You can't roll back father time. People here are falling on the hype.

Great assessment.

AJ too much right now, I expect Klit to get stopped inside 8 rounds.
