Going the full distance makes sense, but risking being put to the canvas by a lucky punch from the opponent isnt.
Until someone can resist the initial Joshua onslaught, he should continue what he does.

Yes fighting guys who will allow you to jab and throw arm punches for 12 rounds is defiantly the way forward , also why does Joshua hit guys so hard ? If he went southpaw he could probably get more rounds in.
Does he need to fight more CW's rather than unbeaten prospects?

The thing is is that he is smack bang in the middle of two levels at the minute that's where the problem is, the bums are not giving him any experience at all and the elite may have too much for him at the moment.
There's no Doubt Whyte is gonna have a go, and when he gets tagged, he's not gonna roll over and take the dough. Nonetheless after watching both of them Saturday, I still reckon he'll go the same way as the rest of Joshua's opponents in the end.
Infact, it wouldn't surprise me if Hearn Arranges for Ian John Lewis to ref , and that way he can jump in way too early as per so that there's absolutely no chance of Whyte getting a haymaker in Whilst under pressure.

Apples and Oranges though. Even if you discount both fights from Saturday, Joshua is tidier, more efficient and seems to have the solid fundamentals down pat, then on top of that he has big stopping power. Really never thought Whyte has displayed anything much but scrappy basics and a string of KO's.

He is sharp but is he tough? We wont find that out u til he faces someone like Whyte who will come with belief and a desire to hurt Joshua. I mean, how good is Cornish? Never faced anyone decent.
Boxing is where only the strongest survive. You can have a good jab, big power etc but you need to be able to take someone giving it out, fight back, have stamina over the distance etc. Look at Bruno, had everything, a nice ramrod jab but just faded because he cared too much what he looked like in the mirror. I still think Joshuas infatuation with bodybuilding is going to be a major downfall.
Even if he does make Whyte look like an amateur novice in the first few rounds what happens when Whyte hangs in there and just takes it and keeps punching back? Once it gets past 4 rounds and Joshua has shot his bolt trying to finish Whyte off that extra 20lb of muscle (I guarantee he will be heavier still for Whyte) is going to be a massive burden on his energy and he will become a sitting duck as the fight progresses.

I think Whyte is going to pick up where Chisora has left off. He'll give a few decent people a row but I don't see him making it to the top.
The build up should be decent. Whyte can barely control himself when Joshua is around. He's going to go full postal at some point.
When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

This is the test we've been waiting for, Whyte is crude and limited skill wise but he's gonna have to be banged out for the count to be beaten.
I hope he flies at AJ and lands bombs on him before AJ can land his own.
At this stage of his career AJ needs to be smashed back hard by someone because Teper for the Euro belt can bang too and after that hes going for a belt holder and the deep end.
My gut feeling Is that Joshua could beat any Heavyweight in the division if he fought them tomorrow with his power alone.
I rate him that highly![]()

For anyone that thinks Whyte wins he's 10/1. Happy Christmas. (i'm tempted to have a couple of bob on that even though I think he'll get splattered)
