Comments Thread For: Joshua: It'll Be Tough For Whyte To Take Me Past Three

[AddiX]

The way Joshua puts his hands together, at that size, he could be special.

Him and Joseph Parker are the future of the division.

Wilder is too busy being another black al Haymon fighter who won't develop, and who ducks all competition by any means necessary.

Something about Joshua peeved me in the conference and in the interviews, there's something quite fake about him that's starting to come out. I mean, I know he's been hyped A LOT by Sky and 'Fast Eddie' but there was something kind of likeable about him which has sort of melted away a bit now that he's in the spotlight a bit more. I think the limelight can be compared to a magnifying glass & with this much attention, a persona will crack. Or maybe I'm just the kind of guy who hates winners??!

This might sound strange but I'd like him so much more if he just dropped the nice-guy act, I don't buy it - I'd be interested to know if anybody does buy his shtick? He's obviously got a mean-streak, and he knows he's good. I'd prefer it if he was out there threatening people and being a bad-ass. It's like he watched Captain America at the movies and then based his personality on that. Boring.

Although Whyte ****s all over him for character, absolutely NO CONTEST here - Whyte is getting knocked out.

I can see what your getting at here. Joshua stays calm and says the right and professional words still. But yes its clearly not his standard persona as seen in other footage. Infact he can be more likeable when being a bit more outspoken.

There was a video a little while ago of him playing a prank of threatening to fight an interviewer. It could have been hilarious and good form, but you know after a jokes over most ppl are cool and laughing with the victim. Well he just came off as a bit of a twat, happy to continue making this guy look bad rather than dropping the act.

Joshua gonna get sweet revenge on this fool.

So you would rather he robbed old grannies and sold crack on the street ..ur a weirdo lol.....because joshua is quiet and unassuming there is something wrong with him is that what your saying ?....maybe he learnt some humility and realises this is his only chance to really be somebody, u should know the saying the most vicious dogs never bark ..I don't think by stories would of come out if he was a bad penny or trouble don't you,,,,, probably got into trouble but didn't we all

[SN!PER]

Whyte seems like a loud mouth who is living in the past.

His amateur glory days are behind him. Joshua will hurt him badly.

I don't see what you're on about to be honest, he winds him up, then puts his arm around him. No big deal, it's hardly bullying.

Yeah i can see that.

When an interviewer asks him something he doesnt like he normally has this little flash where he looks proper pissed off. Normally composes himself quickbut you can tell he isnt the perfect good guy Matchroom want him to be. For all he talks about humbleness you can tell he is arrogant af underneath it. Which is good, he'll need it later on.

I just reckon he would be more interesting if he let it out a little bit. As it is he can be pretty dull.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Whyte is getting destroyed here. I see nothing to suggest he's significantly better than the guys Joshua has wrecked so far. Great payday for the guy but that's all it'll be.

Agreed, Joshua is as fake as Ricky Hatton. Seriously I dislike people like that.

Ive got Joshua by KO aswell, but Whyte would beat all of AJ's opponents so far, and with a decent KO% too.

Definitely a decent step up and a good fight with the history it has
