Resumes aside it's about styles too
I picked fury over klitschko because while both had weaknesses and Wlad was far more proven, the styles were in Fury's favour.
Theres certain things klitschko relies on to make his style work. Holding and clinching excessively is one, home advantage and pre fight mind games is another, height and reach is another.
Joshua has a style that is all wrong for him, he reminds me of a young Lennox Lewis. The only bad thing about that... he can be hit
But youth and aggression isn't what a 40 year old klitschko needs right now.
Joshua definatly won't outbox klitschko it'll be early ko or nothing, but the division is closing in around klitschko and he can't just pick easy fights and get Vitali to take care of the threats anymore.
This is a legacy fight for klitschko because if joshua banjos him there's gonna be questions about his entire career.
This is what makes this such an exciting fight! Will klitschko preserve his legacy!
