    The hate is seeping out of your chin area, and your forehead. I have some pritt stick to sell you?

    WHYTE is the FIRST MAN in HISTORY to KO Chisora... always will be no matter what you or I say, or do.

    History will see "KO'd" next to Chisora's resume... with Whyte, not Fury's name next to it.

    No hate whatsoever from me. I like whyteleafe as a character I enjoy his interviews and I like watching his fights. I’m still able to objectively assess his skillset though.

    Only one man getting emotionally invested here and it ain’t me pal

    He's very quick and crisp and is able to fight well out of the pocket, which means he can deal out a lot of damage in close quarters. He's a bit like Povetkin in that regard, or like a lesser punching Corrie Sanders.

    Yeah but Povetkin used to ice bums cold for a 10 count with a single shot

    Ruiz couldn't even finish chinny AJ or Dimitrenko even though they were begging to be put out of their misery.

    I can also objectively assess his skill set, but every generation God bestows on us a fighter that despite his limitations, manages to pull consecutive wins on sheer will and overlooked attributes.

    Someone who defies boxing logic, goes against the grain of what is generally believed when predicting an outcome for a boxing bout.

    Whyte is one of those people, I believe he has a good chance to beat Wilder, AJ, Ruiz Jr, Parker rematch, Ortiz, Povetkin and a smaller chance to beat Fury, but he CAN beat Fury.

    Ruiz has decent pop but he will never be a lights out puncher.

    Speed kills and Ruiz has plenty of speed......has a ton of natural talent and puts punches together well, combined with a above average chin it can get you far at Heavy.

    But lets not go over board.......the Bodybuilder was always stiff with zero head movement, had always a poor Ring IQ and a glass chin with extremely bad stamina........a lot of hype......went life and death with the Ghost of WK.......imagine what prime Foreman . Liston or Tyson would have done to that Fossil.

    Ruiz squares up, leaves his chin out to dry when he flurries and relies on his chin too much............he will always have problems with fighters who fight tall, keep him at range with a jab , have stamina and engage him at range.......Ruiz has good footwork but average speed of foot......unless his opponents lets him in he has a problem closing the distance.

    AJ is a stylistically dream match for Ruiz........a hooker with poor footwork, poor chin and stamina and ultimately a lot of quit in him.

    Forget the beat down AJ received......be concerned with the quit job, Ruiz beat him 100% mentally and I believe AJ has not recovered from that and might never will.

    Ok pal. You’ve nailed your colours to the mast I guess. Perception is reality after all

    Mate, Haye knocked Chisora out too. Although it is record as a TKO.

    Its hardly something that has never been done before. Haye did it to a far fresher and more prime version of Dell Boy too.

    Albeit less fit, less experienced version of Chisora. And it if was a KO it wouldn't have been labelled, a TKO by the boxing experts, whose daily job is to write down TKO or KO or UD etc.

    Everything I said was technically accurate, and truthful, the truth does not get me brownie points on this forum, but I am content not being a liar.

    When Jnr let them go Joshua couldn't cope so I edge to A level power. Povetkin had A level power (at least when prime) and he couldn't inflict the same damage.
