AJ v Whyte all but confirmed

It's only **** if there isn't many historical precedents but there are.

Whyte is now regarded as a top 5-8 Heavyweight and Joshua defending his titles against someone of such ilk is nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, Whyte is one of the hardest fights out there in April because a fight against Wilder/Fury wont happen until late summer 2019 at the earliest.

Its not Joshua's fault that the Heavyweight Division is not enjoying a golden period. He can only fight whats around.

 

It's almost like that was the plan all along.

 

Whyte is the next hardest fight for AJ after Wilder. Wilder not signing the contract isn't AJ fault so all he can do is fight the next best thing. I think Whyte is a lot better since his last fight against AJ so it could be interesting. I think fair play to AJ for agreeing to fight him as I couldn't see Wilder agreeing to fight Whyte at anytime.

 

Ah yes, fair play AJ for agreeing to rematch a guy you have already absolutely iced

 

If they can plan that Whyte after losing to Joshua will go on to become British Champion, beat 2 of the top 5 -8 rated European Heavyweights, beat a top 10-12 World Heavyweight and then beat a top 5 World Heavyweight and former significant Alphabet Champion - who only lost his title in his last fight - they probably do deserve a massive payday to be fair.

 

Very little interest in this fight to be honest. The build up is going to be unbearable. My hope is that it's as fun as the first fight, that would be cool. But I don't see it. Whyte gets splattered again here

 

Joshua v Chisora if Whyte gets sparked by del boy?

 

just look at the opponents he's faced, you'd have picked him to beat every one, except Parker and even then, he needed a gift against Chisora & without the headbutt "KD" in the Parker fight, that fight was a draw.

but he clearly meant this was the plan instead of fighting Wilder, not the plan immediately after AJ had already beaten Whyte

 

either it's toe to toe and AJ KOs him, or AJ is as reserved as he seems to be lately and he UDs him. Whyte isn't winning, and this is supposed to be a stadium fight. no doubt the casual fan will lap it up though and further validate this Wilder ducking. and before the AJ fans come at me about the ducking comment, i believe they both ducked each other, i'm not putting all of the blame at Ajs door

AJ still has to get past Povetkin & Whyte still needs to get past Chisora first though

 

Thought that was pretty obvious haha, you always get 1 cocky twat.

 

He might have already beaten him but it's the next biggest fight out there for him. I also think Whyte deserves a title shot after beating Parker, Browne, Helenius. People might say these are poor opponents but during the buildup for all these people were predicting Whyte to lose.
If AJ does not fight Whyte then who else is really left who would generate the same amount of interest? We all want Wilder to be next but Wilder clearly does not want any of it and is happy to carry on fighting bums in the US so we all need to accept the alternative.

 

He, like Joshua, can only beat who's around at the time and that resume - on Wednesday, 5th September 2018 @14:50 - is one of the better ones around at the moment. That says a lot about the current status of the division but, as I said, you can only beat what's put in front of you.

Joshua, btw, will beat Whyte easily in the re-match but he's still defending his titles against a top 5/6 Heavyweight who has earned his chance.

 

It wasn't obvious otherwise I wouldn't have 'misinterpreted' you...

 

It's debatable who has the better resume over the last few years between Whyte and Wilder... I would go for the former.
