Why Joshua will *KNOCK OUT* Klitschko

[denilson200]

GREAT BLACK FIGHTERS IN THERE PRIME NEVER LOSE TO WHITE FIGHTERS

Tell me when I'm lying ?

I challenge anyone to point to more than 1 example (And you can even have non-heavyweights) were this has been the case


Black heavyweight fighters are cleaning house.

Soon enough there won't be any white fighter at the top of the tree in the heavyweight div and that's the way it pretty much always has been. So back to normality.

Joshua is neither great, nor in his prime.

Cute post though.

Seriously why post this? We have gone through this already. I would advise everyone to ignore this post. next time it will be deleted.

I don't buy the age argument. A 40-year old HW can't be compared to a 40-year old MW or lower. Speed and reflexes go before power does, and no division relies more on power than the HW's. Why else have we seen these old, fat "has-beens" stage comebacks in the hopes of getting more paydays? Have we ever seen that in the lower divisions? No. Also, Wlad remains a fit, relatively unscathed physical specimen. His KTFO losses were years ago, and the only thing that remains from those isn't physical damage, but rather psychological, in the sense that his style has morphed into an ugly one.

In a sense, Lyle is right when he says Wlad has lasted so long because he's managed to escape the perils of toe-to-toe exchanges.
It's given him durability, but unfortunately it's been hell on his popularity, at least in this side of the boxing world.

I'd like for you to be right, Brock. I'd love for Wlad to get KTFO'ed by AJ. I'd love for AJ to force Wlad's hand and not allow any shenanigans like he pulled against Povetkin. But the sheer difference in experience worries me. Wlad is an old fox, and knows full well the power of AJ. Wlad will do everything in his power to avoid any shot whatsoever, and will use every trick in the book... regardless of how ugly the fight might turn out to be.

If I'm honest, this perspective is part of what makes it such an interesting fight for me. Does the experience and wiley ways of Klitschko win out over the young and powerful champion? Personally, I think Joshua will be strong enough to get through often enough to win. And I think he will be working with as many awkward tall heavies as he can over the next few months on techniques to stop them from latching on. Will be very interesting whichever way it goes, even if its a cagey affair for a while.

Yes Tito, I do think though that Wlad is generally gun-shy and has never fought a straight forward puncher---Fury was a backpeddling clown just mugging and smiling and twitching with coke-residue, never came straight at Wlad. AJ is a straight ahead punching machhine from the little Ive seen, straight ahead, he doesnt take a step back, HELL HE MAKES WILDER LOOK LIKE A BOXER if you think about it. Wlad aint gonna do so good against AJ.

Dear Wlad,

Wrong fight. Wrong time of your career.

Regards,

Steve

Aj is young powerful,skillful and has more stamina then Klitschko that's for sure.Though Klitschko got more experience then AJ

[El Kabong]

Good point about Joshua being too tight in the upper body. However too much time has gone by I think it's like almost three years that Vladimir has only had three fights and at his age that is bad news

That could be the case, Wlad should show some ring rust...he should, but the guy is the consummate professional boxer he's going to be in tip top shape and his mind is probably the most dangerous weapon and that's still very sharp.

Aj is young powerful,skillful and has more stamina then Klitschko that's for sure.Though Klitschko got more experience then AJ

Which you can prove how? Because Wlad punched himself out when he was 22 years old vs Ross Purrity or lost the first fight with Lamon Brewster gunning for a KO after knocking Brewster down? Anthony Joshua is still wet behind the ears as a professional boxer, he hasn't been taken to those depths by anyone yet, ergo Anthony Joshua's stamina is a '?' ......how does Anthony Joshua handle the championship rounds? Well we don't know because he's never been passed 7 rounds. Wladimir meanwhile has knocked out a fair few fighters in rounds 8-12....and Anthony Joshua with his upper body being so stiff could very well be another one of those who can't swim in the deep end.



Everything is speculation until the fight happens. Wlad is old, he's not the same fighter he once was, but you cannot count out the old lion especially in a case where he could get right back to the top of the heap in just 1 bout.

Anthony Joshua has speed to beat Wladimir Klitschko, says coach

You may have well as typed AJ's mum thinks her son will beat Wlad.

You are a clown. Why bring race into it like you do with almost every other thread.

[brocktonblockbust]

why put this on a boxing thread on the Boxing Forum?

[vidgil]

Joshua will KO Klitschko within 6 rounds IMO. COLD.
