    Where the **** did I say he took it between rounds you ****ing re****ed? How the hell are the officials going to miss that?

    The effects of peds come to fruition after finishing a cycle. So don't make up fake arguments to counter, son.

    His recuperative powers were that of wolverine and that doesn't happen with natty fighters, Once they gas, they gas. They don't gas and then get all their stamina back in the later rounds just because they took a round off.

    Watch Price vs Thompson and you will see what happens when a fighter gasses early in the fight, that isn't taking anabolic roids for quickened recovery.

    Yes of course he was doing olympic style testing at the olympics, that's why he wasn't the size he that you see him at today.

    over 20lbs of muscle and you think it came from God?

    Let me tell you something, this guy is ****ing cheat

    And Roberto Cammarelle had no problem beating his ass,

    Watch the ****ing fight with your eyes, don't just look at the result on paper.

    Cammarelle won the ****ing event, got robbed through hometown decision.

    So don't come to me with your casual bs, sucking on joshua's ****, because sky and eddie told you to. I actually watch all of boxing, so know who you are talking boy. When talk to me, you are talking to the best.

    ones got to admit that Joshua really lost that gold medal match. It was close, but not "split decision" close. Its conceivable that joshhua could have got the decision with some honest bad judging, but I dont think it was bad judging, it was a case of it being the last major event of the London Olympics, and they gave him the win to give the Games that golden swansong.


    I had my suspicions when the fight replay on sunday morning was doctored to remove Joshua getting beaten up in the first round, instead showing the even round 2 and his rally in round 3.

    Was Joshua really gassed though? or was he just taking a breather after being stunned by Whyte's punch

    They both rallied in the 3rd round,. Robert won the first two rounds comprehensively yet the corrupt british judges gave the medal to the fraud because it would help bring prestige and national pride back to britain.

    This is why I take offence when clowns like that poster, call this guy an olympic champ.

    No get it right, he's a 'Paper Olympic Champ'

    Your argument is ridiculous, a dip in the pace would obviously help ANY fighter regain some energy if they were punched out, regardless of whether they were on peds. Thompson never let price off the hook and ground him down. AJ slowed the tempo and regained some energy.

    Let's take an extreme example of what you said. A fighter without gear does a 3 minutes round on the bag, punches himself out completely, takes a minute break, next 3 minutes he only throws 10 jabs at the bag, is that fighter as gassed as he was after the first round? This may come as a shock to you but people who are gear free do recover from being tired if they are given the right circumstances to recover.

    Joshua is likely on something, but your argument is completely flawed.

    Joshua took the final round on workrate, rob couldn't match his pace.

    but i'd agree that he lost round 1 emphatically, which should have been enough for him to lose.

    round 2 was debateable but Camarelle shaded it.

    You can't compare bag work to fighting 3 min rounds against an opponent looking to take your head off. You ain't getting punched back on the bag and using energy to defend themselves.

    Like you said thompson never let up, and whyte didn't give joshua a break, only he wasn't smothering him. but he was landing significant body shots which would have contributed to even further fatigue.

    In round 2 Joshua was breathing heavily through his mouth, round 3 he lost further ground.

    Whyte started to tire due to poor conditioning and the work rate, mean while Joshua started to look fresh as a daisy. And you want pretend that ain't suspicious?

    Umm there is no way Joshua won round 2 or 3, so no not 1 round. Actually round 4 was a bit of a swing round so it could have easily have been 57-57 going in to the 7th.

    Add to the fact that Whyte was clearly having problems with his power hand the left, his jab got sloppier and he barely threw a left hook. You can see he may have re-injured his shoulder so it really was a bad night for him in that fight.

    He wasn't. He's overrated now. He was exactly what I expected and what we have seen before. Joshua just isn't as good as expected. Not yet anyway.

    It was more a case of Joshua being over rated I felt.

    I gave Joshua the third. Was giving him the second as well, was only the fact that Whyte hurt him that swung it

    Whyte fight well, except controlling his nerves. Whereas the question you asked had a simple answer from my point of view and that is; Whyte had not such sponsorship exposure compared to Joshua. Its era of media & that make difference dude.

    Actually I think I did give him the third, sorry poor memory.

    Either way, I still don't think the injury was to blame. He was getting put out still

    I dont think anything he did in that fight justifies him being more highly rated now tbh putting aside the Joshua hype train crowd who said he would be done in the 1st.

    Whyte hit Joshua with one good shot in the entire fight and his legs were all over the place after the first couple of rounds. He managed to hang in there by the skin of his teeth for a while but that was more about Joshua's flaws than anything IMO.

    I dont really see Dylan Whyte doing anything special now, that he would come into the biggest fight of his career looking out of shape and so clearly badly conditioned tells you everything.

    Anything else is buying into the Joshua hype just because AJ couldnt put him away first time "oh then Whyte must be legit" I dont think so..
