Comments Thread For: Joshua on Whyte: I Don't Think He's Improved Massively Since First Fight

[SinderellaMan]

Whyte wins this one.
it's not that Whyte hasn't improved, it's that AJ has regressed

Whyte hasnt improved since first fight. You've fallen champ. thats why its sort of interesting. not as interesting as the wilder fight but enough to make some people scared the wilder fight wont happen if you lose to whyte

they were talking about finally making the wilder fight this fall if AJ beats whyte first...... high risk to me i want to see him fight wilder

Both have gone backwards imo. At least Whyte hasn't tried to change himself. Aj looks uncomfortable & unsure today trying to be something he's not.

A. J. wants to be something he never was..............

Skill for skill Joshua has improved. Whyte? Has been regressed for sometime, way before even fighting Fury.

Whyte's conditioning has gone backwards. I don't think he has benefited from gaining masses of weight as a fighter.

Whyte when he fought Joshua I, was markedly faster and more athletic with his movement. These days Whyte can hardly move, and that is why I rate Fury's performance vs Whyte as not impressive.

Whyte was still able to get close to Fury, and before the knock-out 'Nothing much was happening in the fight. It was a competitive fight in my opinion'.

Note: Joshua should just go for the win in the most efficient manner or he can push for a more brutal fight. Joshua for me should just opt to out box Whyte, and if the knock-out comes then it will come etc.

Wonder if AJ is questioning his choice of trainer after seeing Spence humiliated. If he isn't he should be....

I'd say they both improved a lot after their first fight , but it seems they are now both in decline.This fight should tell us who has a little more left and not much more than that.

Is Whyte popular or exciting in some circles I am not aware of? He is Glen Johnson, John Ruiz, Sergio Mora, Tim Bradley, and Clotty for me....just a guy that seems to get fights that I wish someone else was getting. Zero interest in this fight

Tim Bradley gets no respect these days.

What masses of weight??

He weiged 247 v AJ in 2015...


He weighed 251 and 253 in his last 2 fights. 247 v Povetkin, 248 v Chisora.

4 or 5 lbs is nothing at heavyweight

I'm not sure why people post things they just made up in their minds

there has been the odd fight like the Wach fight where he came in clearly overweight..
but for the most part in his big fights his weight has been pretty consistent for the past eight years

Agree 110%.
I don't think we see that fight but I hope I'm wrong
