AJ-Cornish/Whyte-Minto/Ryan-Hibbert - London/Sat/SKY. Fact.

[Dark Lord Al]

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?

Yes it makes sense to go the distance, but with who,? I would love to NO he hits them they
fall over simple, boxing is a funny game you can't win you ko your opponent, he was crap, you
go the distance, your not that good,!!!! boxing fans are a strange breed.

[Batman]

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.

[Fenster]

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.

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.

Is Whyte the most dangerous opponent for AJ so far? Yes. He's young, unbeaten, fearless, has a serious dig, has shared a ring with Joshua before and I too think he looks like a genuine hard cunt that wont roll over when he gets smacked in the mouth.

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 trouble

I think AJ will duff him up too. But I get the impression Whyte is a man that needs to be knocked unconscious. He really is a proper bad man. I don't think he'll shit himself when AJ is blasting him

Fenster do you think AJ should be limited to how many power punches he can throw in a round , so he can go longer distances ? or perhaps pillows on his gloves ?
Maybe then a guy like Kingpin may have lasted the distance ?
What are your thoughts ?

[Fenster]

Well I guess there are some fans that prefer to watch powderpuff punching heavyweights run around the ring for ten rounds than watch arguably the most exciting, explosive heavyweight since a prime Tyson.

[Dark Lord Al]

If Joshua had less power and more flab he would be better .

Are you saying he needs to be more like the great white dope, Dark Lord al?

Not really I just think its unfair that they allow Joshua to hit guys so hard and score knockouts , it needs evening up or it is just unfair on others.

Finally caught up with this weekend's action , which I had to record because I was working

[Primo Carnera]

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.

I hope Whyte wins just to see Hearns and the sky boxing gimp producers face.

[Beanz]

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.

[Memphis]

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.
