Great site you got going here guys, glad to have found it. 
Was getting sick of the mindless critical banter on Stuffs comment section.
I have to agree with diehard in that people seem overly critical of AJ, especially here in NZ. I suppose its natural when we have such a promising prospect of our own. I must admit that in spite of being a huge fan of both AJ and JP, i too seem to find flaws in AJs game that upon second look arent really there. Found myself cheering Whyte in Round 2, thinking he had Joshua in trouble, but upon 2nd watch, he took it well. The body punch late in round 2 definitely slowed him down in round 3, but he came back and took control well after that.
It will be interesting to see how hard AJs camp work him in 2016, having been just as busy as Parker in 14/15.
Do you guys think they will focus on just 3 quality fights but work on positioning him as a mandatory, or keep working on his development against lesser competition? And in saying that, if they choose the later, is that indicative that there were weaknesses exposed against Whyte that still need working on?
Are Parker and Joshua effectively focusing on the same titles being IBF and WBO?
AJ and JP fights ild like to see next year.
Parker v Ustinov Parker v Lucas Browne
Joshua v Chisora Joshua v Haye
Followed by a couple of Parker fights in the UK toward the end of the year.
Exciting time to be a HW boxing fan, after years of the dull drums, could it again be as glorious as the mid 90s.
