Styles make fights, and all that jazz, right? I think Whyte may give me my answer when he fights Mariusz Wach in June ~
AJ even said those body shots were snatching hos soul. He still beat up Whyte in pretty convincing fashion
Right now, no. Whyte doesn't value defense. One thing though, he has more of a chance than most because he isn't scared of AJ.
While Joshuas been knocking out the worlds best, Whyte has been struggling with guys like Chisora. I think Joshuas gone to another level now.
Whyte is in a LOT better shape now than he was the first time he fought Joshua. He'll be kicking himself he wasn't taking his boxing as seriously back then as he is now. That was his chance. I think Joshua has moved on a few too many levels since then.
AJ has wastly improved since their 1st fight and won't make those mistakes again. AJ stops Whyte early in the rematch
Whyte hasn't shown me anything to suggest he could now beat the Joshua he faced let alone the improved current Joshua. AJ has improved in a number of ways since he fought Whyte. He was reckless in the Whyte fight, went in for the kill from the first bell and while it meant he almost got Whyte out early it also led to him being countered. Joshua is now more cautious, has learned to catch and counter punch, uses his jab more and even moves laterally a little more. He's even improved his defence a little. While he still has little head movement, he now has a higher guard. Look at the position of the right arm against Whyte compared to it against Wlad. Against Whyte his right is down by his shoulder or chest, against Wlad it's pinned to his cheek to block the left hook. He still drops the right hand when he throws it but a lead left hook won't work now as we saw against Wlad. Whyte has a punchers chance but that's it. He couldn't outbox him before, he won't outbox him now, even if he hurts him or drops him, does Whyte have the stamina to take him out, he gassed before trying to knock him out and he doesn't look to be in much better shape than when he first fought Joshua. If Chisora had shown up in shape he would of beaten Whyte and knocked him out. That's Chisora's current level, he's a gate keeper.
Not a chance. Joshua's improved leaps and bounds since then, while Whyte looks like he's stayed about even. Really, the first fight wasn't remotely close aside from the left hook Whyte caught Josh with coming in so I don't see what hope Whyte has now. Since then Josh has fought in a far more disciplined fashion while Whyte still opts to fight like a bar room brawler against the likes of Dave Allen and Ian Lewison. A lucky punch isn't even part of the equation now.
