Anthony Joshua

It is tricky to be balanced about AJ. On one hand, he gives us a great KO and worthy of highlight reel status. On the other hand... it is Robert Helenius.The reality is somewhere in the middle. We have a good heavyweight, but one that is some way off greatness. But, we should enjoy him while we can because what comes after is worse.

Dillian Whyte

We need more detail before we can comment fully on Dillian Whyte. What we can say is that boxing is a mess right now.However you slice it, Dillian needs better people, processes and systems around him so he can prepare for fights like an elite athlete.Overall, the sport needs to deal with the doping crisis before boxing become a niche sport like bodybuilding and powerlifting.
