    watch what happens when they fight again in the pros! AJ is a lot more tight defensively now, and still just cos he got put down doesn't mean a great deal from that video..

    Joshua hasn't been tested yet so who knows Neither has Wilder really.
    Another being called a superstar too early is Beterbiev he's only had 11 pro fights to put him in with Kovalev would be too much too soon

    That fight really tells us absolutely zilch. Joshua had only been involved in amateur boxing for less than 2 years at that point (if even that). From 2012 till now Joshua has made tremendous strides...a fight in 2009 is pretty much irrelevant.

    Looking at the video Joshua had developed neither his jab nor his straight right. His right in this fight is a wild looping right that would get him KTFO in a pro fight.

    Camerlle made Joshua look like a fool when he easily outboxed him in England, however, Joshua's home town judges gave him the decision which is really sick..............

    That video doesn't say anything at all about his chin. You can have the best chin in the world but you can still go down if you are reckless to receive a series of clean power punches in close proximity. He gets right back up which indicates his chin is decent. Joshua is a better boxer now. We'll see that vs Whyte soon.

    He got caught with two good shots and got up straight away and really didn't look hurt. We saw him take some good shots as amateur, including in the Olympics. I doubt he can a glass chin based off what we have see so far but of course it's different in the pros.

    I'm looking forward to the Whyte fight, if it happens. Whyte seemed to walk through AJ's shots as an amateur but can he do the same against the now much bigger, stronger and better AJ?
