I was surprised that 60% people on some older board voted that they are rooting for Klitschko against Joshua.

Klitschko is very boring "boxer" without any personality. He is probably the bigest cheater of those 3 too.

Joshua on the other hand is very exciting boxer and champion which boxing fans wanted for a long time .


I get that most of boxing fans were rooting for Kovalev because of his boxing style and he was more exciting of those two.

But Klitschko? WTF? His boring jab and grab style make people root for him against someone like JOSHUA?

Wlad is the worst thing that happened to Boxing in my generation so I can't understand how anyone could be rooting for that disease to resurface. He'll once again confiscate the belts and move them to a remote country and fight once a year on German Public Radio. Good riddance. I hope he gets his block knocked off. It will happen.

Wlad's fights were all available to be seen. Germany is not a remote country.

boxing fans are stupid

Joshua isn't really any more interesting than wlad to be honest

That’s just a completely irrational claim!

Ok lad

Klitschko, unlike Ward and Mayweather, always tried to KO his opponents, instead of just running out the clock.

And Klitschko doesn't have the big ego like Ward and Mayweather. He's always been a good sport and an honorable man.

You can accuse Wlad of a lot of things, but you can't say he was inactive as champ. Fury didn't defend any of his belts once.

Mayweather was a cherrypicker who only accepted fights if he knew it was nearly impossible to lose. Klitschko faced the best opponents he could face, especially the latest years and on top of that, he's a heavyweight.

Also, some people act like Mayweather is the best ever, because he never lost, but there have been boxers with over 80 wins before their first draw/lose. It's not like he deserved the money he actually earned.

I don't know much about Ward, in fact his Kovalev fight is his only fight I ever saw and he looked like a typical hypejob scam to me.

Mayweather faced infinitely more dangerous opposition than Klitschko. You're drinking the haterade hard if you can't see that.

Klitschko simply had no choice, there was nothing better, for Mayweather on the other hand.

Floyd's resume is better than any current active fighter.

Is it even theoretically possible for Klitschko to overtake him with the current top heavyweights?

No, but beating Joshua would be Wlad's career best win by far.

AJ only beats BUMS, period.

Deontay? Please.

We don't have a decent heavyweight divison like before, with Tyson, Lenox and hollyfield.

Heavyweight division is dying, all fighters are boring in this division. They focus on power not in speed, footwork and technique.

Klitschko has no balls against giant boxers . All he did was clinch against one dimensional small bums and no hopers without any brain or defence .

Joshua will murder this clown. Klitschko would not survive 5 rounds against prime Lewis

Yea, especially at this age, but not realistic.
I'd like to see a 40something year old Mayweather against a top contender.

Mayweather beats anyone in welterweight even as 40 years old ;) Clinschko would lose against Fury in any stage of his career. Because he is crap boxer compare to Fury. No defence , no movement - just jab grab grab jab small no hopers like Povetkin

Peter, Pulev, Haye, Povetkin, Wach, Sanders, and Brewster were all guys who could hurt you and knock you out if they caught you... Mayweather didn't face guys who were infinitely more dangerous... Pacquiao hasn't scored a KO in about 7 years and was particularly soft against Floyd... And I don't think anybody Floyd fought was particularly dangerous at the particular time Floyd chose to fought them.. Floyd fought Andre Berto -- at a time when Keith Thurman and Kell Brook were very dangerous, undefeated Welterweight Champions anxious for unification fights... For years I predicted Floyd would never fight them.

Wlad may have been active but who would ever know with his fights not being televised in most big Boxing cities. He chose to fight in obscurity for 8 years and kill any interest in what is traditionally Boxing's most entertaining division. And to compound his disastrous reign as champion, of course, he has to finally lose a title to a guy who is an even worse champion than he was.

The Heavyweight Champion of the World comes with a responsibility to promote the sport and entertain THE WORLD. Wlad never got that.
