    I don't think getting hit with one huge shot, it was a hell of a shot means you've been "exposed".

    Dubois too if you buy into the idea that he cancelled the Pfiefer fight.

    I don't know if its true but its out there.

    Usyk, who beat Hunter widely, who drew with Povetkin, who just knocked Whyte out, who beat Parker, who beat Ruiz, who split with Joshua...

    Then again, both Whyte with Chisora were close.

    Lot of parity in the division.

    Yeah there is a reason Heavies don't retire undefeated all it takes is one punch. ( Besides Marciano)

    Marciano might lose to Beterbiev

    What Wilder exposed this year? I thought Dustin Nichols, Harold Sconiers and Romanov already exposed that fragile mandible.

    I don't think you can say Whyte was exposed. Most had this a very competitive match coming in even with it being against a faded Povetkin, this was always a very dangerous fight for Whyte due to styles which favoured Povetkin. Plus Whyte wasn't dominated like Wilder was or even how Kownacki was, he was up on most people cards and looked like he was on the verge of stopping Povetkin himself before his defensive flaws were once again highlighted by Povetkin.

    In all honesty with the run of opponents Whyte has had in recent years he's done well to have not had a loss before. Fact is when you keep taking risks like Whyte has instead of sitting on your ranking, losses happen.

    lets be real here unless your oliver mccall most fighters can be taken out with one punch. When fury was one inch of a of a second from being knocked clean out from wilder in the first fight ( might of even been a long count), nobody would of said exposed.

    same with whyte he was dominating and got caught while looking to finish.

    it happens these are 16-20 stone world class heavyweights and most can be takien out with a single punch.

    I could have told you Wilder packing serious glass, and Kowancki isn't that good. Whyte is a big man who can punch some. He got caught with a perfectly packed punch.

    Dubios is packing glass, just watch. I think Joyce is a warrior and needs to fight now before he's too old.

    Savic Babic, you better watch out for that guy! He's a real savage in the latest boxing video game.

    No need on telling me anything. @Zakman and myself were among the first to call Wilder as the glass jawed fraud we now all know him to be. Likewise I was the only one on the site(at least in the prediction league) to pick Helenius over Kownacki.

    Dubois is a brutal KO waiting to happen indeed. Joyce is questionable too but I think his chin might be a little sturdier. His handlers certainly aren't pulling him from risky bouts like with Dubois!

    Need to see more of the Croat kid. But beating Winters who is always upset minded in your 4th pro fight is definitely impressive.
