    Seems to have power.

    Seems to be confident going in.

    Already beat Joshua albeit when white was already a kick boxing champ in UK. Also was only an ammy bout.

    Hoe Frazier comparisons? Don't see it. I see some Liston in him mostly.

    Really small head.

    I pick Joshua by UD btw in a close bout that might be surprisingly tentative from both sidea

    I have a funny feeling that Dillian will stop AJ. Im skeptical about Joshuas chin.

    Lesser Chisora with better power at tops.

    Whyte looks too short for a modern heavyweight. He also looks fat - something which Joshua has also told him. He clearly lacks discipline, food-wise.

    He does seem to have unusually long arms though, which is a plus.

    I was thinking his arms were very long for his height as well, does anyone know his reach? I can't see it listed anywhere

    He's listed as 6ft4 (looks shorter next to 6ft6 Joshua), if he is then he's not too short at all. He looks in great condition for this fight imo.

    I really think he is a great prospect, so the winner of this fight will be right up there IMO.

    I think he has slow feet but very good head movement. His jab can fall short and be easily countered so is quite a weakness. He has a tremendous left hook which I think is his best punch and a decent right hand. His toughness is what will make him a good contender, I know he hasn't fought anyone of note yet, but he appears to be a real fighter in mind and body.

    Yes, I'm of the impression that Dillian loves to fight.

    I haven't seen much of him,

    from the short bit I have seen I was very impressed with his size and hand speed,

    yes he looked a bit sloppy here and there but his punches looked good :bbb

    You've just pulled "6'7" out of your ar$e. You know full well he is 6'6 and has never been listed as anything other than that.

    The top of Whyte's head barely comes up to Joshua's eye level. There is a clear 3 or 4 inch difference in height.

    Whyte is 6'2.

    He is never 6'4. FFS, Lennox Lewis was only 6'4.5 himself. Are you saying Whyte is 0.5 inches shorter than Lennox?

    I've met Whyte a few times, i'm 6'2 and he's a good couple of inches taller than me. He looks short on TV because he's built like a brick ****house.

    If Whyte is a couple of inches taller than you then I've got news for you: you're not 6'2. You're 6ft.


    There is no way on this earth that Whyte is 6'4. Absolutely not.
