Can we get excited about AJ?

Think he could beat Whyte though.

 

AJ still needs more experience and rounds in my opinion. He's definitely got a tremendous degree of potential.

 

Bit too early to get so exited, OP. Joshua has a few things going for him (impressive victory last night, btw), but we need to see him against serious opponents. Still he's got potential and is a true breath of fresh air in the division.

 

didnt minto land quite a bit on whyte, and i thought parker stopped minto by corner retirement?

 

Boxing fans are so confusing. This is heavyweight boxing. I thought you guys didn't like movement(Mayweather) and wanted guys to stand toe to toe. I don't know if I would say Joshua is stiff or robotic as much as I would just say he's always under control. He's never off balance. He doesn't throw wild punches. He's basic/fundamentally sound like Tim Duncan in the NBA. No flashiness or anything that is eyepopping in his boxing style. Now this can make him predictable but it also means that he will take punches well. If you feet are always under you and balanced you can absorb shots better. The only time he has gotten out of character was against Dillian Whyte and they have a hatred for one another that extends outside of boxing.

This honestly reminds me of what Mayweather said about GGG. Said he was a straight up and down/basic figher. GGG also doesn't move his head and walks through punches
