    I'm not sure any of those three beat Wach. In fact Wach already nearly killed Hammer.

    AJ, made his money, and it’s hard to get that killer instinct back, when you’re kicking back in those silk pajamas. Whyte, is as good as the person monitoring his PED dosage. I, imagine a job opening was created after his failed test that Matchroom buried, with the assistance of UKAD/British Boxing Board.

    When your world number #1/mandatory, and avoided like the plague, your a long way away from washed up. Whyte is still hugely under rated. Hed slap Wilder around like a rag doll.

    Correct.

    If he was diminished goods, just think of the guys that would be trying to fight him for the opportunity. that is the quickest way for the up and comers and managers of champions are always looking for a name opponent for a big payday.

    The fact that Whyte has not been on the other end of those opportunities does not speak volumes, it screams it.

    He's only lost his last three fights, what's the problem?
    These matchups just get funnier and funnier in light of the **** Fury got for fighting the Swede, who Wilder's coach actually considered difficult before the fight apparently.
    Pulev goes after a journeyman, Parker goes after Chisora, and now Whyte goes after 39 yr old stationary bodyshot bag Wach on a huge event.

    It's clearly a "stay busy" fight. I am not sure why people are nit picking.

    How is he washed up? How'd you come to that conclusion?

    He's fighting Wach because that's the best lower-level opponent they could get on short notice (Whyte or Hearn, can't remember which, said they weren't looking for any top guys this time round). Wach's little more than a punchbag, but if Whyte can flatline him that'll be a big statement in and of itself. I think it'll probably just go the distance though, or end in a corner or standing ref stoppage. Won't be competitive or entertaining.

    Well, they fought, and Wach destroyed him. Hammer, Washington and Price are all roughly on his level. I mean, di you think any of those three would beat Big Baby Miller or Martin Bakole?
