Comments Thread For: Whyte Believes Anthony Joshua Will Never Be The Same Fighter

[P4Pdunny]

you get in the ring with Ruiz, Whyte does a lot of talking for an average fighter

[PBR Streetgang]

He might be right but it may not be a bad thing. Use what assets you have to mitigate weaknesses and give you best chance at victory.

Will Whyte be the same without PEDs? Same goes for Big Baby. The Bodysnatcher labored in there against Wach. Wach is one tough and durable dude but when the Polish fighter is lumbering around and outworking you in rounds then there's cause for concern

Let's also see if a PED-less Big Baby can continue to have the same punch output and cardiovascular endurance he had while on his special ****tails.

after ruiz 1 joshua is gun shy punch shy if you think he fought scared vs ruiz 2 just imagine his trepidation upon having to step into the ring vs deontay wilder. just like the immortal joe louis said "you can run but you cannot hide" joshua may just turn out to be the "body" birdlegs is looking to put on his record. for his own safety i hope joshua retires before he has to face wilder

Wilder isn’t a pressure fighter plus his boxing iq is pony

Windmill would be jabbed up all night and take the L

Fury gonna take the belts anyway so we’re better off taking about fury Joshua

[VislorTurlough]

Cheater may be right, but he talks a lot for a guy that will never even be a good fighter. PED stumble bum

[petegrif]

I would hope he isn't. You're supposed to learn aren't you?

Mr Whyte....is right...

Though, Lennox Lewis retreated to a purely defensive style well before Rahman. Emanuel Steward showed them the art of "fighting without fighting." And before anyone chimes in with the cliche "It's boxing...hit and not get hit...go watch UFC," I will ask that you refer to 1903 origin of modern boxing and observe that at that time, both men were required to keep their toe on the line and stand within punching range of one another.... So while I understand that the idea is to punch and get out of the way, ...running is an entirely different animal, all together. I really don't mind the style if you also have the mentality that each and every round you must do more damage than your opponent. But these days, everyone wants to duplicate Ali's footwork and NO ONE wants to put that "whoopin' " on their opponent, out of fear of being whooped themselves. So if that is what you are looking for, might I suggest watching amateur ( olympic style) competitions?

Even if Lewis adopted a defensive style, he still KOed dudes. Will Joshua?

[Roberto Vasquez]

Whyte is right. It's hard to see AJ doing what he needs to against certain fighters (use his power and size and just knock them out). I might be wrong. But Aj is probably going to fall back on the box and move thing too much.

It was after the MCall fight that Lewis adopted a more cautious style. Even though his opponent suffered a nervous breakdown during the rematch, he was extremely apprehensive. I believe that had the Oliver from the first fight showed up, the result would have been the same
I also believe had the Ruiz of the first fight made an appearance for the rematch, he would have cornered and crushed the pouf. Unfortunately for Ruiz, he was hungrier for food than being champ.
