    Default Joshua v Klitschko is a done deal

    I think this is gonna happen - AJ don't like hanging around and will definitely want this more than any fight out there at present, makes perfect sense with Wlad slowing down and proving to be very beatable

    Even though I'd have preferred to see Tyson defend his titles against Klit I think this will be a better fight to watch.

    Kind of a similar situation to when Wlad wanted to fight Lennox Lewis only now the part of Wlad will be played by Anthony Joshua and the part of Lennox Lewis will be played by Wlad. Funny how things work out.

    Too many obstacles for this to realistically happen this year.

    The fighters are with different TV companies.

    The sanctioning bodies would have to dismiss current top contenders.

    Does Joshuas team really want it? Is Hearn just using Klitschkos name for publicity knowing all the obstacles will prevent it happening?

    Will Klitschko want to go in as a challenger or will he want to face Browne for the WBA first which is what his team is actually talking to Brownes about right now.

    It does make me laugh that Klitschko v Joshua is seen as a big deal and exciting whereas no one seemed interested in Fury v Klitschko 2. Apparently Klitschko is old and washed up yet this is now an exciting match up with an old and washed up fighter? Those same people would tell you that Joshua would beat Fury but the difference in anticipation is due to the fact they know full well it will be another whitewash against Fury because he's just too good whereas Klitschko had more than a chance against Joshua.

    I would respect AJ if he takes the fight because it is the biggest challenge there for him from an active fight.

    Except for Tyson who beat him already.

    Ross, for fucks sake give it a rest.

    1. Nobody WAS interested in Fury Klit, undoubtedly that added to his stress levels, aggro from promoters to sell the fight, leading to:
    2. Using Twatter to try and hype the fight, which he should have had someone do for him, all he succeeded in doing was making a twat of himself.
    3. Even more bad headlines because of his pig ignorant and abusive twats, more pressure.
    4. Drug allegations re steroids, and his own stupid statements that he was on Coke (not diet)
    5. Allowing a year to go by without knuckleing down and getting this rematch, arguably his highest ever payday, on.

    Given all the above I think this shit should have been handled for Tyson by his 'team', and he has been left to make a complete cnut of himself by a piss poor management team, I hope they are happy with their little pensions, because that's all they're getting.

    I think he should disappear for a year and come back properly represented, if he can find nobody honest enough to represent him he should retire and take life easy with no aggro.

    Thanks to Fury these two are really the only two in the drivers seat for division and the timing would be way off. I am really beginning to doubt the longevity of Wilder based on injuries alone. Wlad needs to fight yesterday and AJ still has some growing to do. Both can do numbers vs lesser. If it's realistically offered to AJ..fat chance..sure he can take it at early stage of career and time left but don't see it.

    Agreed, too early for Joshua. I would be astounded if they actually want this.
    Better Style Matchup on this one if it were too happen. I'd expect Wladimir experience to win it despite youth of Joshua.

    I can't stand that grinning imp Hearn.

    He loves his own publicity much more than that of his fighters, and his greasy smirking car salesman act really grates on me.

    he was much too quick to pile into Tyson Furys problems for my liking, and he seems to enjoy picking on his fresh corpse.

    A smarmy untrustworthy oily vulture, methinks, who is only successful because of his daddy.

    He was clean when he won and fell off the rails after.

    which would make him not a LEGIT challenge anymore seeing how he's got a UKAD hearing and apparently gone balls deep into a cocaine addiction so as I said "Wlad the biggest LEGIT challenge for any heavyweight".....FACT


    Now maybe Tyson gets his head back on straight in the future....maybe then he could claim to be the best, but as it stands right now he's more of a mental case than a prize fighter
