    Admittedly, i am overly harsh on Whyte, but i do genuinely believe my post. But Browne could barely move and was never a world champion in my eyes

    Whyte can`t box the way Fury did though.

    If you cut Floyd Mayweather`s fights down to 6 rounds it would be the same for a lot of his bouts, Floyd was a slow starter, the first 3 rounds of a fight are just feeling out rounds.

    If anything it will be exciting as Whyte has shown improvement

    If it goes the distance it won`t be close, AJ`s jab will control the fight, Whyte got to get in quick the way Povetkin did, AJ is a bit like Tommy Hearns, suspect jaw but great reach and height, a good jab and combo`s, it`s very hard to hit a boxer like that without being countered and Whyte is no iron Mike.

    If Wilder can catch Fury then he will catch Whyte even sooner was my point.

    Quite a contradictory statement, why don't you rewrite it all?

    And yet he still was.

    Your problem is you have high expectations, and you can't let go of your bias towards previous generations and eras.

    Compare the roster as it is today, relative to each fighters current performance and you'll find that you can't possibly be harsh on Whyte compared to the rest of the division.

    Is there anyway to bring up punch stats for that video, to see the level of exchange

    I had Whyte edging one round, apart that it was all AJ and ended with brutal knockout.

    It’s not. Has he “earned” it, no. Compared to everyone else, yes. But I wouldn’t expect someone like you’ve to understand

    No he wasn’t. It’s that simple.

    Plus I believe this era to be better than the previous. But your love of Whyte blinds you. Which I don’t understand because he’s thoroughly average. When you struggle with Chisora twice, you’re not a player at the top of the division.
