Interesting take on primes. I've come to like and respect Wlad, so fair play, but he hasn't fought anyone as talented as Joshua ever. He's 40 now on top of it.That wasn't his prime. When Emmanuel Steward taught him how to fight that was his prime and no one came close to beating him. Joshua probably isn't in his prime either right now so if he gets toasted I won't hold it against him.Klitschko may well play spoiler and beat Joshua, but credit to Joshua for stepping up and I feel he will beat Wlad at this stage.He's far less experienced, but every bit as talented as Wlad ever was. Let's not pretend he'd have no chance in their respective primes. FFS Wlad was getting stopped by a couple fringe contenders early in his prime until he came back and made some smart adjustments.Thoughts from tonight:The Chisora/Whyte fight was a true slugfest. Had Chisora not got winded in the later rounds it could have been a classic. In a fight this fight I always like to think who'd I rather had been? The answer is pretty clear in that I'd rather had been Chisora as he was ringing Whyte's bell all night. Therefore, if anyone should have got the edge in this fight it should have been Chisora.Next, just as I said all week, Molina is a total can and it's a disgrace that Joshua fought him. Also, this fight did nothing to prepare him for the Klitschko fight so why take this fight anyway? I'm going to favor Klitschko in a close fight simply because I don't think Joshua has the experience against top heavyweights that he needs to outpoint a focused Klitschko. When he comes in like does on all these B and C-level fighters he will taste Klitschko's power and will not know what to do. He's lucky Klitschko is far past his prime or I'd give him no chance at all.So is Whyte going to be fighting Wilder next year? He won't last very long with that weak chin.
