    For reference, Frank Bruno was 228 against Mike Tyson. AJ is close to 250 pounds :lol:

    You must have never seen Mike Tyson while in his prime...

    Bruno gradually rose in weight to 247 in the rematch though!

    He was in riduclous shape but it didnt help him. In the McCall fight he held on for dear life in most of it!

    I don't remember any of the better Heavyweights having a physique anything like Joshua's.

    His skills are pretty average, without the power he'd have won jack.

    This train will be derailed in the very near future.

    Physiques don't win fights ... just ask Wlad when he fought Fury.

    Or comically 10-0 Larry Owalumbimo vs morbidly obese John McDermott.

    All Joshua has done so far is beat up on British TOMATO CANs. He needs to fight someone with a pulse and prove that he's not just one more in a succession of UK Horizontal Heavyweights...[/quote]
    horizontal? haven't heard that one..........since a while ago.

    You're right, 247 at 6'3'' :admin

    His shoulders were bigger than Mike Tyson's head. The amount of juice that guy must have been on :lol:

    They are up and coming prospects so they won't have fought anyone of any significance on the world stage.

    Whyte has faced the usual fighters a decent prospect faces.

    AJ's resume is better and exceeds a lot of past HWs in their first 14 fights.

    Ofc I have, a beast. But he did a lot of what he did with evasive skills he learned. Yes he was fast and hit hard, but Joshua towers him. He's a 6'6 version of Tyson, thus physically more impressive.

    In case anyone is wondering why this is being billed as a close fight, it's on PPv in the UK.

    It'll be closer than previous AJ fights, but not much.

    There was a black guy at my school who was stupidly huge built and ripped at like 14 years old, didn't even lift and obviously was not on roids. everyone called him mr muscle, some people are genetically gifted.
