    He’s a step or two above Chisora. Chisora is clearly a gatekeeper. Whyte will never be world champion unless it’s blind luck but he’ll stay at the top of the of the list and keep getting title shots

    I've never liked Dillian Whyte. Not very skilled, loud mouth, fights bums and usually looks bad against them. But then I saw him against Browne. That didn't change anything. Let's see how he does tomorrow against young and proven opponent.

    Solid B level guy. Doubt he'll ever be the man.

    hes got skills... always a nice matchup for any big name HW. Good enough to draw, not good enough to win

    Decent, nothing special but dangerous enough.
    Had to get past current Chisora on Whyte privilege, so I can't see him get past Parker

    Not scared to fight anyone.. Not many around like that these days.. Wilder didn't fancy it. No world beater, but a live one, that's for sure.

    He has talent, but his conditioning is awful. If he were to consistently show up between 230-235 he would perform much better in the ring and most likely would've knocked out Helenius, Chisora, and Allen. 245+ is too much weight for him to carry, since he easily tires out and is slow.

    In the Minto fight Whyte really started letting his conditioning go by showing up at 238 lbs.

    Whyte against Rasanni was 231 lbs and was a lot more mobile and was able to sustain offense for more than 10 or 15 seconds. This is the weight he should be fighting at or at least very close to it.

    Whyte is nothing more than a B level gatekeeper for joshua.

    Solid fighter.

    Not as good at mind games as he thinks he is

    Alpha types like him never learn too quick as they believe their own hype eventually. With AJ you get the sense that every day is school day and can be better than the last. Whyte doesnt strike me at that type of guy.

    I doubt he fights Joshua again.

    Parker isnt much better to be honest.

    Game and durable. Not the best boxer but seems to be improving.

    A true fighting man if ever there was one.

    The thinking men get to the top. The fighting guys just keep on fighting and slowly regress.

    Unless Whyte is spectacular tomorrow, this is his level.

    He has a mean left hook and likes to rumble

    I don't believe I said anything about him getting to the top, so your comment is a bit random really, but thanks.
