    Does Wladimir Klitschko have a chance against Anthony Joshua?

    I don't follow boxing much but have seen highlights of this guy Joshua. Is he just fighting straight up bums or is he that good? If he's half as dominant as he looks in the highlights how would a 40 yr old Klitschko stand a chance?

    Don't know much about boxing but I'd check to see how the guy fares when actually getting hit rather than highlights of him just pulverizing opponents. Wladimir can be beat but it's gonna require some shots taken to get in

    I don't follow boxing as much as I used to but yes Klitschko has a chance. This kid only has 18 fights and hasn't really fought anyone who is on that level.

    That's the only highlights there are

    In 18 fights he has 18 KOs or TKOs

    He actually looks like he has good hands and feet. He leans in a bit too much revealing his punches before they come; he also opens up when he is trying to finish his opponent off. Wladimir Klitschko should be able to take advantage of that.
    But, the young guy looks good and I might actually watch the fight. Not sure why Klitschko isn't fighting Fury again after losing to him.

    Right... 80,000 tickets have already been sold to Wembley, with permission being asked to London's mayor to let them go to 90...

    Klitschko's inactivity will be his downfall. He also can't jab and clinch Joshua, who is as big and at least as strong as him, more explosive at this stage no doubt and we all know Wladimir has a glass jaw. It is going to be be nearly impossible for old man Klit to beat Joshua at home.
