    In the first fight Whyte had both his hands broke and still beat Helenius.

    Whyte's not on their level at all, maybe Wilder but that's only because Wilder has terrible fundamentals like himself, he's still way better at landing his money punch so is really a level above at least. AJ already proved it by sparking him and shot Povetkin sealed the deal on confirming that. Cherrypicking out of form heavyweights and never has beens like Oscar Rivas isn't the kind of level they operate at. Fury dominated Chisora with ease. Whyte got a gift decision and a come from behind KO on a terribly gassed Chisora to finally beat him. You're constantly engaging in wishful thinking, don't you ever get sick of it?

    Thompson didn't start boxing until 26 and had no prior background in any sort of combat sports(unlike Whyte). He turned pro at 29 after going 13-3 as an amateur. Still managed to position himself to challenge for world titles not once, but twice and was a solid contender, and gatekeeper into his 40s. Safe to say he had a lot more going against him than Whyte, and was definitely a more tricky operator.

    And that's just comparing HW contenders..... There's several boxers who started late and had limited amateur backgrounds. Sergio Martinez and Bernard Hopkins come to mind - there's nothing special about Whyte.

    He's been a professional boxer for over a decade, he learned on the job. That **** is a wash.

    I mean he shouldn’t be beating guys like Parker or Rivas.

    It should be like a frank mir vs pulev situation

    Parker has two hands and two feet, 240 pounds of Kiwi muscle. 12 rounds... and Still got beat down.

    couldn’t make it up.

    Whyte Beat AJ in the amateurs... nobody wants to hear that... head in the sand. But when it comes to Usyk or Hunter or Pulev or Beterbiev forum will talk about amateur fights all day long.

    Double standards mate. From ANTHONY JOSHUAS own mouth.. me and dillian are 1 - 1

    Usyk, Hunter, Beterbiev were accomplished amateurs, especially the first two. They didn't "learn on the job" like Whyte.

    I am speaking relatively, relative to Joshua and other heavyweights because Ruiz is DEFINITELY not 6 foot 2. He is closer to 6 feet tall which is on the short side for heavyweights.

    All that experience and he still can't block or slip the uppercut. Joshua destroyed him with an uppercut, so did an ancient Povetkin. Whyte was rocked by uppercuts from Parker, Rivas, Chisora...
