I can't believe Wlad hasn't faked a injury to pull out of the fight. Do we know what kind of chin Joshua has?

That could be his downfall.
There has been many rumors about his chin. Price knocked him out in sparring. Okolie apparently knocked him down. Dubois supposedly rocked him. White dropped him in the Ams and wobbled him in their pro fight. Nistor stopped him standing in the Ams. I don't really put much stock in it but it makes me think it's not granite.
I've watched film of Joshua. I don't like what I see. He seems to reach with his punches. That could be a mistake vs Wlad. Razor Ruddock reach against Lennox Lewis. Lennox made him pay for that. No doubt Joshua has the power but does he have the chin? Why would Wlad even make this fight? He must know something we don't.
he has sparred him before, a few years ago, i forget who wladimir was going to fight that time, maybe it was wach. I have read internet rumours that it was very close sparring to wladimir had control over joshua, so who knows :S So maybe he knows something we dont or maybe he just wants to get paid a lot .
I'm inclined to go with the latter although I'm not sure that would be Wlads style.
Fury is still the man to beat.
Fury is massive but can dance a lot better than Joshua in the ring..better boxer and not robotic.
Reading a lot now about AJ's reaching and his suspect chin... creating now maybe a wave of support for Wlad.
Frankly, if Wlad wins so be it. Although I'd much rather it be by actually boxing and exploiting AJ's weaknesses, than by doing a Wlad-Povetkin Part II. If Wlad wants to add to his legacy, rather than subtract from it, he needs to actually fight... win or lose. If AJ's chin is really suspect, that makes two suspect chins in the ring.
TBH I just want to see a good, clean, action-filled HW championship fight. Tired of the crap we've been subjected to the last couple of decades.
