Should Dillian Whyte retire now?

Seeing how much the levels showed tonight despite a long camp spent evading doping testers in portugal, he should definitely stop thinking he's elite level. But there's money for him in being a pudding for hire.

 

Yes please do. Shameful performance

 

I voted no.
I like the idea that Whyte takes over from Chisora as a top gatekeeper. He could still get a quality W and some good paydays.

 

Feed him to the lions like a piece of meat. Thank **** we need longer need to listen to him crying about not getting a shot.

 

He can be an opponent to Hrgovic or Jalolov. Might get one more good payday so perhaps worth sticking around for that.

But his antics in the promotion plus his performance are going to lock him out of any future title shots.

 

He's had his shots and failed. He'll never be a HW champ and is obviously on the downside of his career. He could linger on as a gatekeeper but he made good money in the Fury fight and could not retire comfortably. His punch resistance just isn't there and he does not posses good enough boxing skills to overcome it. I day retire before you get hurt.

 

Well he’s on the outs with one of the alphabets and he didn’t do himself any favors with promoters who may be leery about using him with his refusal to take part in building up the fight.

He’ll remain an ‘attraction’ of sorts in the UK where they love their lovable losers (Chisora and Price carrying o a tradition that goes back decades) but elsewhere … we’ll see. I’m sure he’s good for a steppingstone fight or two if he wants the paycheck but I don’t think he’s durable enough or exciting enough to merit the kind of money he’ll demand for too much longer, if at all.

 

No. Its his job. He has to earn a living.

 

He has made a fortune (with the help of Eddie Hearn and all that hype about being some kind of avoided monster) so he definitely could retire.

Most likely he will return and continue to compete at his own level, which is not world level.

 

He could retire he's made millions. But he's still a fighter who can make good money. He just needs to bide his time, both Fury and Usyk won't be around much longer and then the belts will be vacant and no reason why he couldn't pick up a vacant title or beat a weak champion to become world champion. Basically go the Bruno route. Whyte will never be the best guy in the division but worse fighters than him have won world titles.

 

He's never going to win a world title as long as fury or usyk have the belts so in that sense he may as well retire.

On the flip side there's still money to be made and nothing stopping him being the new Derek chisora and if fury or usyk does retire and a belt comes up for grabs then he's in the mix with a bunch of others to get a shot at it.

Clearly his chin has gone now which is understandable he's been in a lot of tough fights.

 

Go to MMA instead

 

No,he has to make money to secure his future.

I didnt like to hear he lost millions in court with the WBC.

 

Whyte doesn't seem like the type of guy to be happy becoming Chisora 2.0. He's also not particularly durable so losing 10 times like Del Boy doesn't sound particularly healthy. Chisora has an inhuman ability to take punishment.

I think he's done personally. 2 brutal KO losses in the last 3 fights. Not sure there's any coming back from that.

 

I'd like to see Hrgovic in with him right away.
