Will be interesting because I think Whyte takes a good shot and id also bet he has better stamina.Quote:

Cornish hadnt faced anyone nearly decent. He couldnt even stop big Larry!! If hed have continued pumping his jab out I think it would have got interesting but he tried trading. He didnt look as in shape as he normally does either.
Joshua is strong but he litterally no experience yet and Whyte is a far more dangerous and I think tougher fighter than hes ever faced and the jump in class could be too much.
I'd say Whyte would be another easy night for Joshua.
He seemed to lack some basic boxing skills in his fight with a former cruiserweight and just potshotted the opponent. It got the job done, but allowed himself to get hit too much.
Apart from a 1-2 combo, what has Whyte got that can trouble Joshua?
When they meet, I give it 2 rounds before Whyte tastes the canvas.
AJ must be giving his team a nightmare, he's still a baby in terms of experience and they are struggling to find anyone to test him.
He needs to go up against a genuine threat, his power should get him through it and hopefully he would have a tough fight and learn something from it, if he was to get beat then he could still come back from it, they are just scared a loss on his record would mean lower ticket sales, unfortunately with Sky at the helm that's the more important than his development
How can it be a "jump in class?" AJ has already fought plenty of fighters that have mixed in world class. Whyte hasn't fought anyone.Quote:

I have to say I agree, Whyte won't roll over when he gets smacked in the mouth, I think he'll just lie flat on his back, I don't think he will give AJ any troubleQuote:

Joshua v whyte will be exciting as both are punchers , looking forward to it.
Do you guys think Joshua would be better joining Peter fury so he can put on 80lb of fat ?
Joshua has not done many rounds either so if they do not knock one another out early they will be huffing and puffing after 6 rounds.
Please do not make Joshua v Whyte a ppv fight.
Might get him a world title challenge as well;DQuote:

Joshua defiantly needs 80lbs of fat , also instead of beating guys like Johnson in the second round he would be far better throwing arm punches from a southpaw stance and going the full distance. What's the point of knocking people out early when you can fiddle your way to a points win , and also do lots of holding and wrestling.
It is a double edge sword really because his ripped physical for reminds me very much of the ripped Steve Cunningham ,who as we all know is he of the finest HW's of the modern era.
What do you guys think ?

Until someone can resist the initial Joshua onslaught, he should continue what he does.
