    my point is parker and his trainer said they weren't aggressive enough to nice at times
    not enough dog eat dog mentality
    its boxing head clashes happen
    he lost he knew hed lost
    result whyte win
    as i said first time round
    and the result is the result :?

    Yeah, head clashes happen, but not often that obvious ones are ruled as knockdowns, especially ones that literally completely change the result. Although i suspect you're being purposefully obtuse

    Parker came back from the headbutt and almost knocked Whyte out in the 12th.
    Only lost the fight due to a scoring error that gave Whyte 10-8 to headbutting him to the canvas.
    Those are the facts.
    Whyte point-blank refused to give a rematch.

    Whyte gets sparked out with one punch, clean, no controvesy, by Povetkin.
    Immediate rematch clause. :lol:

    I was never or will ever be on the hype train.

    Would have lost to parker if not for headbutt
    Lost to chisora
    Rivas fiasco
    Ko'd by shot povetkin
    Turned down two final elimantor's
    Turned down a world title fight.

    He's a bit weird if I'm honest. There's absolutely no star quality there, he's just a dogged competitior, I'll give him that, he gives it everything he's got but it's not particularly skilled boxing, he often looks more capable of making himself hit the canvas than any punch from his opponents, such is the balance and coordination of the man, it's quite bizarre to watch.

    It is strange it's like his legs aren't strong enough to hold up his upper body, constantly looks like he's about to fall over.

    It is exactly that, the legs thing, he looks drunk in there at times, all loose and wobbly. It's why I call him the Kebab Shop KO King and the Chicken Corner Brawler, he often fights like a drunkard. It can sometimes make for an entertaining fight, we benefited from the flaws of Whyte and Chisora in their two fights, either of them go in with a Joshua, Fury or Wilder and it's lights out, a KO punch will land at some point.

    I don't think he'd lose against Joyce.

    I was impressed with Whyte's wins vs Parker and Rivas though. I think Whyte has potential, he deserves his chance.

    He's got an equal record at least to some people on that list if not better.

    I'm not on a Whyte hype train, I think he'd get annihilated by the big 3.

    I think Whyte vs Wilder would be funny though.

    he struggled with the pace Chisora set in fight 2 and Joyce an match that and he hits harder than Del Boy I think. Would be a hard hard fight.

    Comparing Joyce to anyone on the list is stupid, I don't see why so many people jerk off over him, he's not even ****ing fought anyone!

    He didn't exactly ***** slap Dubois, he beat a very inexperienced young fighter barely throwing anything but a jab.

    He's got everything to prove. His record is laughable for someone who is 34 years old.

    He turned over later but he's done pretty well so far. Beating Jennings after 9 fights is good going.
    Whye is so easy to hit, doesn't have great stamina that a guy who never stops coming forward and so far no one has able to put a dent in makes a real hard fight for DW.
