    - Heavier and rougher on the inside

    - More powerful hair-trigger counter left hook

    - More heart, determination and better fighting instincts

    The taller, faster and more durable Joshua would probably beat Whyte in a rubber match but the aforementioned factors are important to bear in mind when making predictions about other fights.

    Rougher on the inside? LOL. His chin is one of the worst I've ever seen, and Joshua is the deadliest heavyweight on the inside. He has a good variety of punches, and an insane uppercut.

    He has a better left hook and maybe more heart, but that's it. But then again Joshua has fought on despite being hurt many times.

    LOL he doesn't have better fighting instincts. He has, at times, boxed ok, but he just ends up doing what wilder does and throws haymakers and hopes for the best.

    Look at what he did vs Fury. Just threw insane shots and hoped one would land. His timing is worse than Wilder's.

    If Joshua and Whyte fight again I have no doubt Whyte will get brutally KO'd.

    Joshua has a good upercut and Whyte doesn't know how to defend against upercuts. AJ will stop him if they fight again.

    The AJ - Whyte comparison aside I think the biggest factor is actually how Whyte rebounds here. following the Fury loss.

    He's been this on - off mandatory for the WBC, losing in the process, and when he finally got his shot he shunned the media and got destroyed. His performance overall was just bizarre, in credit to Fury as this is down to how he made Whyte look come fight night.

    In terms of a rematch between the two, AJ destroys Whyte again. Joshua is just better overall and stops Whyte should the two ever share a ring again.

    Whyte is done at the top level, Fury has put the final crack in that chin.

    The thing that concerns me is the level of delusion Whyte has. In his head it was genuinely 50/50 before Fury landed that punch.

    I can't believe you're throwing your favourite fighter under the bus like this.

    Joshua went 7 rounds with "worst chin ever" Whyte, was taken to war and got badly hurt. The Whyte who fought Joshua was very crude with relatively little experience too. Chisora couldn't stop Whyte over 23 rounds, neither could Rivas, Parker, Wach or Helenius.

    Joshua is not a good inside fighter: he got wrecked by Ruiz on the inside and couldn't do anything with 20 lbs lighter Usyk. His uppercut is probably the most overrated punch in boxing: who has he ever KO'd with it?

    When Whyte's in trouble he'll swing haymakers and try to roughhouse, when Joshua's in trouble he mentally checks out and hopes for a gift decision.

    AJ badly hurt by Whyte? AJ was back in control of fight less than 15 seconds after Whyte momentarily hurt him with that shot lol.

    Whyte has been knocked out with an uppercut 3 times out of 3 defeats.

    He is unteachable.

    Then why did AJ lose the next round too? There's a near-universal consensus on eyeonthering that Whyte won rounds 2 and 3.

    I didn't give Whyte a single round myself although the 3rd round was the closest round. The vast majority of people gave 2nd round to AJ (the round he landed the shot) as AJ quickly was back control of the round after the shot. Quite a few people were of the opinion that Whyte won a third round which was a close round.

    Just lol at using Chisora, Wach, Rivas or Helenius in argument to make Whyte look better. So what if they couldn't stop him? They're hardly great fighters.They lacked the skill to take advantage of his weakness, but funnily enough Rivas and Parker both knocked him down.

    Whyte only just survived against a younger version of Parker, which was controversial because he scored an illegal knockdown via headbutt.

    Has Joshua ever KO'd anyone with his uppercut... shows how much you know about Whyte/Joshua because Whyte was LITERALLY KO'd by Joshua via uppercut. Do you not remember Joshua's insane uppercut on Wlad?

    And when Joshua is in trouble he doesn't mentally check out at all. He was in trouble vs Whyte when he got hooked, regained his composure and then went on to win. He got hurt vs Wlad, then made a comeback and won.

    He was getting outboxed vs Povetkin early and came back later in the fight.

    He got up 4 times vs Ruiz, he lost and then dominated the rematch.

    Where does this "Joshua hopes for a gifted decision" bull**** come from? When has Joshua ever been gifted a decision? He has NEVER been gifted decision.

    He won via decision vs Parker after clearly outboxing him. He got a decision vs Ruiz when he clearly dominated the fight.

    He lost against Usyk on points on home soil. You could argue that the points tallies were closer than they should have been, but Usyk won on all 3 cards, so it doesn't matter. He lost via UD and some rounds were close.

    Where are these gifted decisions you're going on about?

    You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

    AJ has the best uppercut in the division. Whyte drops like a brick when he gets an uppercut. I'll let you figure out the result...

    With Povetkin retired, Joshua has the best uppercut in the division right now he also learnt how to fight tall since their first fight. Not only does Whyte have the worst punch resistance against uppercuts, he also can’t fight coming forward against taller opponents.

    AJ blasts him out in 2 in a rematch.

    The bodybuilders chin is no great shakes either. If Whyte lands clean enough he wrecks it.

    Err Whyte was unbeaten when he fought Joshua so that chin had not yet been cracked.
    Also who's Alt are you?
    I'm no big fan of AJ but he wrecks Whyte quicker than the first time.
