    Who do you like more - Anthony Joshua or Dillian Whyte?

    Since AJ turned pro, he's been billed as the next great heavyweight hope & potential champion. And he very well might be, however, in his first fight - which was beyond cringe - he was billed as "the next people's champion".

    I mean, first off, you don't really build yourself like that in my opinion. Secondly, he's not a people's champ kind of person.

    He's extremely talented obviously, big and strong and very skillful, but he's also very arrogant and doesn't really come across as the sort of guy next door.

    In my opinion, since Dillian Whyte came back, his reputation as being a stone cold thug has changed a lot. He's always smiley, has time for everybody and really comes across the normal 'bloke down the road' kind of guy.

    He is also a straight up kind of person as AJ himself found out in the Klitschko camp a while back, so did Malik Scott and recently Johnny Nelson said on IFL TV that Dillian came over to him and told him they needed to straighten some stuff out - and then they were good.

    Since AJs hype got insanely big after 5-6 fights, I've liked him less and less as a person. I like him a lot in the ring, but outside the ring he comes across as big headed and arrogant.

    Dillian Whyte is the exact opposite.

    Who do you like out of the two? Or who do you hope to win?

    Btw, if you haven't seen Dillian Whyte fight yet, go and look at some of his early pro fights. He was pretty scary then.

      I'll pull for Dillian..

      He might have that already conquered edge.

      Naturally I'd never lay a dime of my own money on this outcome though LOL

        Whyte is the more likeable guy i think.

        Not that there's anything i really dislike about Joshua but he's obviously a very media trained robot. It's hard to know the real Joshua.

        Whyte seems to have a sense of humour and tells it how it is.

          I agree. It has really come out recently how Whyte is a much more likable guy. I don't know what turned me off about Joshua's personality, it's just recently I've begun to think he's a little bit boring and repetitive.

            I like AJ as I've met him many times on a personal level and we've always got along. We even used to have a similar circle of friends although, from what I've heard, he doesn't spend as much time with them now but it isn't anything personal, he just doesn't have a huge amount of time to spend lol

            But, from tv interviews and so on, I like Whyte's attitude, he even called Sky out on their bull**** hype of that Scottish guy against AJ.

            Obviously, I'm a supporter of underdogs and I'd pull for Whyte but AJ is a guy I know and I'd like for him to win too. Hard to decide.

              That was a golden moment. Johnny Nelson was trying to big up the big scottish guy who looks like a grown up version of Dorian Darch, and Whyte just wasn't having any of it.

                Well that's it, i think Joshua is very boring. Whether that's because he's media trianed to come across as a nice humble guy and keep up that whole Team GB olympian image, i don't know.

                But for a guy they're trying to build into a big star, he's not exactly Mr Charisma.

                  Dillian is more likeable than Joshua

                  Even Wilder is more likeable than Joshua

                  However Joshua is probably the best boxer out of the three, despite being the most obvious steroid user in boxing history
