Comments Thread For: Joshua Open To Whyte II on 4/9, Chisora Possible

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Has anyone else seen AJ's legs? I use to think Wilder was ridiculously chicken legged, but then I saw AJ's calves and couldn't believe I was looking at two pairs of walking sticks.

Anthony Joshua would stop Chisora

woooah bold statement right ther!

Whyte vs Jousha should happen again later down the line, for a world title

Both men need to vastly improve.

Are people that impressed with Whyte? I mean he survived mostly. Had a lil success in a round or two, but he handedly lost the fight. His stock went up, but not THAT much in my eyes.

And there is no reason for a rematch & I don't think Joshua vs Whyte for a world title is ever gonna be in the cards unless its some sort of gift/stay busy defense by Joshua.

Chisora seems like the obvious choice for next. Than maybe try to get Teper (or Helenius, think they still gotta fight for the EBU title after Teper got injured or w/e) for a IBF mandatory position. Then David Haye & then a title shot vs Glazkov or Martin to end 2016 if he wins all those fights. 2017 will be about getting a fight with Fury or Wilder or whoever the other champs are at that point. I love playing matchmaker. I missed my true calling I think.

If this guy underwent year round random drug testing with an organisation that actually has decent testing like VADA, he'd either get busted for juicing or would be forced to shrivel back down to 220-225 pounds

In the UK we have blood testing. He was blood tested post fight.

In the UK, we have inept blood testing that doesn't have the resources to test for HGH or microdosed levels of testosterone via CIR testing. Additionally there are things such as IGF, which is highly beneficial in building mass, which I don't believe anyone has an effective test for.

A post-fight test is an IQ test - benefits are accumulated during training, not on the night and you'd have to be truly thick to have steroids in your system.

go**** more like, bring in the eurobums pad out the resume baby.

He weighed about 225 in the Olympic Games, turned pro at 228 and his career high is 249.

And yes, Olympic testing is better than in the pros but still far from perfect. The telling sign is his weight gain post-Olympics as described above. Also bear in mind he started off bodybuilding before boxing - someone who had the morals to deal drugs will most likely be prepared to take some casual steds also.

He was 232.5lbs for his 2nd pro fight in October 2013 Vs Paul Butlin

He weighed 245lbs December 2015 Vs Whyte.

Changing 12.5lbs over 2 years after turning pro is hardly impossible.

He was also 229 in November 2013 and 249 in September 2015. If you want to follow the naive casuals then that's up to you. I prefer to look at reality - a number of top level heavyweights over the years have been on steroids including Holyfield (aka Evan Fields), Tyson post prison and possibly pre prison, Lewis, Bruno, Klitschko's, etc. All Juice is no exception and at the end of the day, most people are gullible fools and ultimately $$$ talks.

One cannot say he 'juices' without being tested positive, even if the testing isn't great. But the huge muscle, and probably some bodybuilding style weight training he does, is not beneficial to his boxing. He's way too slow. If he tries to loosen up more and get better hand speed, he'll be much more lethal, although he ain't no Lennox Lewis. Enjoyable fight though against Whyte.
