    If the wilder fight doesn’t happen I’d like to see whyte vs Povetkin or Hunter next

    Both would be very entertaining

    In a forum, where I have to read constant bull**** on a guy... even when he delivers... that's why. When it ends... it won't annoy me so much

    If the ref is anything like the Chisora 2 fight then Whyte will be fine.

    If the judging is anything like the Chisora 1 fight Whyte will be fine.

    If Rivas can KO Whyte... Rivas should be fine..

    If there's 13 rounds and Parker is in the audience.... Rivas should be fine..

    Not watched this Rivas character but he comes highly recommended, will take a considered look

    If there’s any value and he’s any decent I might bet against whyteleafe here as the guy is rank average to my objective eye.

    It’s a classic smoke and mirrors manufactured matchroom resume for me much like the chinny robot except a tier below

    Joey twelve Parker is the standout name in his prime for which he gets huge credit but there’s huge asterisks against that fight which have been done to death

    Bottom line the guy stopped the shot old corpse of Lucas Browneleafe and took twenty three rounds of life and death and a crooked ref to put shot old delboy chisora out to pasture

    He’s called out and DUCKED a host of top guys and is now fighting this random. Will research and come back with a prediction

    Whyte is a massive favorite to win this one and has everything stacked in his favor like always. Should be an easy KO for him in early rounds.

    You go do that... and while you're at it, go look up the number of times Whyte called out Wilder... and infront of 20K in the o2 arena.

    Then go look up the time he called out Joshua infront of the o2 arena 20k...

    Then look up the time he offered Wilder 12 Million...

    All documented on YouTube in 1080p.

    Whyte should win. Rivas isn't that great. He did well to get the W against Jennings and showed he has bottle going right into the 12th but I thought Jennings was winning handily. He looks a little one paced, not a particularly clever fighter.

    Still, could well be a fun fight. Hopefully it is

    I think Whyte stops him in the first 6 rounds.

    In many other eras of british boxing Whyte would be the stand out star. I'm struggling to think of a heavyweight without a title shot who has deserved one as much as him. He's the only fighter in the uk in recent years who has built a name off off a loss. The last one i can really think of since him is Groves and even he never really became a ppv headliner.

    He was winning on 2 of the 3 scorecards, bud.

    Hopefully it’s fun like you say. I don’t think he’s as good as Ruiz but he does have a good amateur pedigree.

    Imagine if Whyte losses now too, Hearn will implode

    Hope this tanks on PPV, never a PPV event

    None of any of that addresses whyteleafes calibre inside the ring nor his chances in this fight
