Whoever wins I see the Fury haterz (not necessarily the ones on this forum but in general) discrediting his win over Klit. If Johsua wins they will say it just goes to show Klit was well past it when he fought Fury. If Klit wins they will say this was Klit back at his somewhat best and the Fury loss was a one off as he weren't at his best.

Fury's win over Wlad was a deserved one, and is easily the best win of his career.


If Joshua were to beat Wlad, then it would be his best win.


Wlad may not be quite the force that he once was, but he is still better than most of the division and any win over him is a good result.

It's an intriguing fight. Wlad past his best, Joshua not close to his (17 fights?). I for one can't wait.

It is an interesting one alright. Proper test for Joshua as his style would play into Wlad's hands more than Fury's.


Where Fury is good at spoiling (and that is an art in itself) and turning a fight into an ugly spectacle, Joshua has a very straight upright style and it is one that could be open to Wlad's jabbing game IF Wlad is able to show that his last fight is not his current high water mark.


Good examination for Joshua in terms of both his own power and his ability to take shots as Wlad is pretty durable and is not exactly feather fisted.


Passing of the baton, or one last roar from the old Lion? Am looking forward to finding out which it is.

Wlad vs Joshua is the best heavyweight fight out there (save either facing Wilder)

I've already put aside my £17.95 for Haye vs Bellew so I'll prob have to stream this.

It really is in terms of top ranked guys facing each other.

Still cannot decide if it is a mark of how confident Joshua is in his abilities or a sign that his handlers think that Wlad is at a low point abilitywise. Maybe a bit of both.


Really hope that there is money thrown at getting Wilder to face the winner though.


I'm going the opposite way to you though. Haye-Bellend is only worthy of being streamed in my eyes, so the one I am willing to pay for is Joshua-Wlad although if I can work my times around it I would fancy heading over to it.

Sorry Jacob, I was being sarcastic regarding the Haye / Bellew fight.

[Gingawaria]

Would LOVE to see Bellew get sparked out by Haye.

Loved the smug little smile on Haye's face when Bellew was having his rant, he's got into his head massively.

Safe to say I was whooooshed

Would be surprised if it went more that two rounds at HW.
