    Showed heart and that he possesses true ko power and can take a punch.

    He also showed he can adapt half way through the fight.

    A great finisher.

    A great card to be honest.

    Also showed that he struggled with a British level HW.

    Also showed that he isn't what Eddie and his Dad make him out to be.

    Also showed that he isn't ready for the likes of an ancient Haye, let alone Wlad etc.

    I can see AJ being a uk version of deontay wilder.

    Doesn't matter, whyte carries elite power, and joshua took his best shots, so the question marks over his chin should be squashed

    Obviously fighters with both speed and power would be intriguiging, but the serious power Joshua has will cause problems for any fighter.

    he would overwhelm haye imo with his size.

    Tonight proved he is world level.

    The pacifist Wlad, who refused to engage with Fury isn't scaring anyone BB. What we witnessed when Fury fought Wlad was a demystification of Wlad... in other words, there is absolutely no reason to be afraid of Wlad simply because it was Wlad they were facing (which was clearly an issue for several previous challengers, who were beat before they got in the ring...and fought like beaten men).

    Joshua is a seriously dangerous foe for Haye right now ,never mind in a year or two.

    Let's not forget that David, for all of his attributes, is not the most durable of fighters and he is well past prime.

    Name me ONE elite fighter Whyte has stopped? AJ hasn't got a great chin. If Whyte's power is elite, how come he couldn't stop him?

    Haye would KO AJ within 2 mins.

    Wlad hits harder than AJ.

    You think Whyte goes 6 rounds with Wlad? You must be mental.

    He didn't stop him because he didn't have the coordination for accuracy and staminia to put his punches together to overwhelm him and Joshua stood up to his shots.

    So because whyte hasn't faced an elite fighter you can't see that he carries elite power?

    Would you say Joshua doesn't carry elite power because he hasn't faced an elite opponent?

    Hits harder, but it's pointless if you haven't got the volume.

    Joshua has the volume and inside game to where his power is a serious threat to any opponent.

    Wlad's main strength is in his jab and keeping his opponent at range to tee up the 1-2.

    Whyte DOES NOT carry "elite" power.

    Wlad is an elite hitter. Whyte isn't.

    Name me a single elite fighter Whyte would KO...

    Yes I would. Joshua struggled to put Whyte away. When he did it was 20 mins longer than what it should have been.

    Would Whyte last 7 rounds with Wlad?

    So fighters chin's have nothing to do with durability of taking shots?

    Would Whyte last 7 rounds with Wlad?

    I think he would but obviously losing all rnds. Lesser opponents have gone the distance with wlad

    Who would have though chisora would've gone the distance with Vitali who some say hits harder than wlad.

    In your world, you'd conclude that Vitali doesn't carry elite power

    Vitali, IMO, has never been a big hitter.

    Haye sparked Chisora COLD. And Haye was a CRUISERWEIGHT! Vitali would overwhelm with volume and durability. He hits hard, but he isn't a KO merchant like his brother.
