    Sure Anthony Joshua beat Dillian Whyte, but he's really reallyyyyyy bounced back since then. If they have a rematch I think I'd have to favor Dillian Whyte to win this time around. I'd love to see a rematch happen. Dillian Whyte has surely earned a title shot by now. I'd love to see him get a Joshua Rematch or a fight with Wilder. I think he beats both!

    I think he could beat Joshua but i dont think he would. Whyte has improved plenty but Joshua did not fight smart against Whyte, he just wanted to have a tear up and shut Whytes mouth after all he had to say. Until he started getting clipped and buzzed by Dillian and then he tightened his game up a bit. Also sine then Joshua himself has got an awful lot better and has been learning and using a safety 1st strategy like Wlad settled in to.

    He is just better than Whyte but in this division they all can hit hard enough to knock an opponent out.

    Anthony Joshua didn't bounce back, that's a misconception, he looked less impressive because of the approach from Takam and Parker which was primary not to get knocked out and therefore giving Joshua less opportunities.
    Joshua improved since his fight with Whyte. His defense is a lot better now and he doesn't run out of gas that easy.

    I think this fight would be exactly like the first fight. Whyte could hurt Joshua with a left hook, if Whyte could
    improve his timing a little bit, i could see him giving Joshua troubles.

    Whyte is a handful for anyone.

    Imo Joshua would KO Whyte in round 6-10.

    No, AJ beat Whyte easier that the first time. Don’t forget that Whyte was lucky he survived the last round with Parker.

    Yes he did and therefore Anthony Joshua the counterpuncher that he is would take advantage of it and knock him
    out sooner or later.

    Only man who could beat Anthony Joshua at the moment is Deontay Wilder with the Equalizer, nobody else.

    Whyte would get knocked out. Whyte has improved plenty but AJ is just better.

    Whyte has a terrible defense and will get knocked out of the ring again. His head movement is similar to a railway gate.

    Sorry I should have made it clear, I actually meant AJ/Parker but I agree with your statement.

    There's no way Hearn would "let" Whyte beat AJ anyways, there's only so much mileage in DW for marketing as he comes across as aggressive and not as fan/woman friendly as Anthony.

    Both Joshua and Wilder have been susceptible to counter hooks, and Whyte has a pretty good one.

    Soooooo, he certainly can beat them, if given enough opportunities, but I wouldn't bank on it at all in a solitary fight. Even with a solid chin and a huge heart, Whyte's defense isn't good enough for me to pick him over either champion. He gets picked off and worn down by AJ's and Wilder's straight punches before his left hook even becomes a major factor.

    Wilder KO5.
    Joshua TKO8.

    has Whyte really improved that much? i don't think so. he's slightly improved his technique but he still windmills and wings shots in. he pushes his jab, hasn't got the best footwork, i think his opposition since the joshua fight have flattered him. He should have an L on his record since the AJ fight as well
