Got a bit of a knock back from some last night when I went down the same track but in a different direction.
As far as I was concerned last night was a total mismatch. Yes the guy matched AJ for height, weight and was undefeated. After that everything else was on the opposite sides of the stick. This is reminding me of Frank Bruno and we know what happened to him when they put him up against the Americans who were the guys to beat then.

Bruno had power but nowhere near the speed AJ does. He's an animal.

Unanswered question. To be fair most heavyweights have a weak chin when it's hit by another heavyweight.

What really bugged me about last night was his approach to the ring. He was smiling up to the entrance as if he knew this Scot was no match for him. All the signs of a mismatch ensuring the big fight with Whyte was going ahead.
Saying that I do think AJ will knock out Whyte just as easy. Put him up against Fury for a true Battle of Britain.

he might not come across as scary or brutal as tyson, but there isnt too much difference in their records so far.
tysons 14th fight, 1 first round KO against someone called sammy scaff (13-6 record) where as at least AJ fought someone with a decent unbeaten record
