    I prefer Whyte as a character to Joshua. Joshua does look like a monster though. I thought Whyte looked **** at the weigh in. I know he doesn't have the physique of AJ but was expecting him to look better than he was. Looked big but very flabby. Might not mean much since AJ will make this look like a mismatch with his speed.

    Hmm reminds me a big of young Bruno blowing people away with his KO power all well and Danndy till you meet a guy who won't go over and takes you into deep water and starts trying to take your head off.this may not happen soon or with the current HWs ever but I hope he works as hard on stamina as getting ripped.

    To be honest though, Bruno couldn't really box and was really really stiff. AJ looks more promising imo, and even showed some good infighting abilities in his last fight.

    AJ, is probably as ripped, head to toe as any heavyweight, I can remember. But he has kept his fluidity of movement. He isn't stiff and slow, like you would expect. He's a great athlete, and he's still learning his trade. Scary, knowing that he will be improving.

    All that muscle, doesn't equate to a great chin. But I, don't see him having a Price chin or Price mentality. I, don't sell Whyte short, I think he gets overlooked in the media, and on this forum. He's a heavy hitter. If he manages to hurt AJ, I see it coming from a left hook. Whyte's right hand is easy to pick up, as it's thrown wide. His left hand could connect though, AJ, often doesn't bring his right hand back up to protect his chin when he's throwing combinations.

    If AJ gets to agressive, we may find out the answer to how good his chin is. Much safer to break Whyte down, then go out looking to tear his head off. Whyte, leaves his left low. That's not good. I can see AJ, throwing straight right counters over the low left. Whyte, is also wild with his punches leaving him open for counters. I think this will be a good fight. I'm picking Joshua by UD.

    UD? Whyte is getting stopped, either on his feet saved by the ref or drooling on the canvas. Fight is a mismatch.

    He looks good so far but you never know what he is made out of until he is hit and in a real fight. Yes he has the size and power but does he have the chin? Time will tell.

    Joshua with his 890+ punch isn't a huge puncher
