Your thoughts on Joshua vs Whyte

Good fight for Whyte but does nothing for Joshua. This fight would have made sense about a year ago now it's just Hearn yet again wasting Joshua and the fans time.

 

It wouldn't.

 

We'll just have to see about that, for me Whyte is worthy.

 

I am starting to get rather bothered by the negativity some people put on fighters.

I come on here and see comments like "Whyte is a bum" and "AJ is a hype job".

What does a fighter have to do after 16 pro fights (Whyte) and 14 pro fights (AJ) to get some positive comments?

People should be giving these two nothing but praise for making this happen now, both unbeaten, both have huge ambition, it's a real rivalry.

We sit here and complain about fights that are not made but when fights like this are made the pair of them get nothing hammer and people try to poke holes in it.

Embrace this fight, enjoy the build up and enjoy the fight, regardless if it lasts less than a round or goes the distance, two rival unbeaten British heavyweights going toe to toe.

 

Well said. :good

 

That's the assumption I'd hope proves as well, but we need to see him fight someone who will try to and is capable of making things a bit tougher - Molina made life a bit tough for Wilder, if he isn't even a speed hump for Joshua then it's a worth while test.

 

There's plenty of decent fights out there for Joshua without facing either of the belt holders. Until he faces one of these I can't really get excited about any of his fights.

Jennings
Wach
Ustinov
Pulev
Glazkov
Povetkin
Perez
T Fury
Teper
Cunningham
Takam
Chagaev
Stiverne
Parker
Browne
Helenius
Chambers
Haye


There's a few a level below that who may be finished now that still would be a decent test for Joshua too I could vaguely get interested in. Chisora, Thompson, Solis, Arreola, Scott, Pianeta, Dimitrenko, Wawrzyk, Gerber.


Tbh if he's not facing any of all of those it's just Hearn taking the **** out of the fans and the sport yet again. He's gone backwards since dismantling the so called 'Kingpin'. Dillian Whyte is just vaguely acceptable at best.

 

Its a geniune 50/50 fight.

If whyte win's then most of the people on here will say they always knew joshua was a fraud and believed whyte had talent.

But skim through this thread and you'd think Joshua was fighting a bouncer.
