    One dull, dense fighter against an intelligent boring fighter.

    More likely Joshua will win but not too fussed.

    The fan boys surrounding Joshua are embarrassing.

    Bring back Fury!

    Quite like Joshua - and not a "fan boy" ... but he has done his talking where it should be done so far ... in the ring. Klitchsko will be a proper test and if he comes through that well, then a match with Wilder might actually be a heavyweight contest worth the hype ... <ok>

    Naturally.

    He hasn't fought anyone of note yet.

    Few journeyman, about it.

    In this division there really inst much competition.

    Wilder is not bad but not amazing, Klitch is past his best, Haye is past it and Fury doesn't have a license.

    Doesn't bode well.

    Not in the heavyweight division anyway.

    Everything below is pretty good.

    Joshua will destroy him. I'm far from a 'fan boy' but I think AJ will dominate the division for years. It's not his fault the competition isn't great.

    Vlad knows this and wants to go out to the next big thing. He knows he's lost, already shown far too much respect to AJ for anything else to happen.

    I like AJ, refreshing tbh that he's not some big mouthed idiot. He's a monster of a man, all there for him if he wants it.

    Big step up for him, though.
    It's all about whether Klitschko still has it left and wants it enough, for me.
    He was appalling against Fury. Does he want to go out like that in his last big fight?

    Was just about to post something like this.

    Clearly a step up for him but one I think he'll pass before going on to unite the division.

    This is in my birthday too... can't wait :biggrin:

    Joshua's expecting Klitschko to use an unorthodox attack and throw tennis balls at him, apparently:


    Most people wouldn't be prepared for that, to be fair.

    What a load of old ****.

    Stick to knitting you knobhead

    Anyway, the fight. Joshua will be cautious in the early rounds and will try to keep out of the way of the pounding jab that's worn down so many of Klitchsko's opponents.

    I think he'll be too quick and too powerful for him as the fight wears on, and he'll slowly but surely unravel him. Joshua to win in about 7.

    Tough one to call, I'm not expecting a great fight.

    Nice to see a fight without pantomime theatrics preceding it though.

    Is there any need to insult me?

    Despite many disagreements of opinion I don't recall having done so to you.

    Poor form.

    Being on that politics thread it's difficult to know when people are joking and not.

    Haha, there should be a sarcasm font on this forum lol

    You've joined that debate very late btw, there's been plenty of ****e thrown over the 4 huge threads and on all sides, but I think you've weighed up some of the characters involved wrongly there bud.
