Klitschko says he can "totally read" Joshua

[TheLeprechaun]

Joshua is going to be too much. Klitschko doesn't have the heart to win. When Joshua starts landing some shots, Klitschko will panic.

I think Vitali would have beaten Joshua but Wlad has proven himself very unreliable

This. It might be a cagey first round or two but by round 3 Josh will hurt him and finish the show. Very easy indeed.

Wlads whole career was against poor opposition.

yes. even his losses happened against mediocre
opponents. it has not been unusual for the heavies
in the past that there were only one or two top guys
and everyone else was ok at best. holmes, louis,
marciano times come to mind.

but it was only this era where the two best in the
world refused to fight each other for the length of
a decade.

David Haye is one of the best boxer-punchers in Heavyweight History. Besides Klitschko he had 1 other loss in his 11th fight... Sam Peter was undefeated and highly ranked... Tony Thompson was a tough out the 1st time he met Klitschko. Nobody else ever put him out until he was well past 40... Eddie Chambers has been headed down hill, but he still has never been stopped by anyone but Klitschko... Brock was another undefeated top ranked challenger who was only stopped once in his career. By Klitschko... Prime Ray Austin drew with Sultan Ibragimov, but was crushed in 2 by Klitschko... Mariusz Wach was a 6'7.5" X 250 and 27-0 mandatory challenger. He embalmed Kevin McBride with one big shot and Mike Tyson couldn't hurt McBride with his best shots... Jennings and Pulev were also undefeated challengers... Alexander Povetkin was a 26-0 undefeated Heavyweight Champion and Olympic Gold Medal winner... Ruslan Chagaev was another Heavyweight Champion and the 1st man to beat 7-footer Nicolai Valuev. He was undefeated in 26 fights... Chris Byrd was a 31-1 slick boxer who couldn't win a round off Wladimir... Jameel McCline was a great big tall guy who counted Michael Grant and Shannon Briggs among his victims.

You'll have trouble finding 13 victims who were that good, who were beaten by any other Heavyweight Champion.

Holmes and Foreman are the same age... Both ATG Heavy Champs... Both their careers extended out over 30 calendar years... They never fought.
