    Wilder. His skills aren't great, but Whyte isn't great either. I reckon Ortiz is more skilled than Whyte.

    Serious question, when was Dillian Whyte's prime?

    2015/16 when he got sparked out by an inexperienced Joshua and then was gifted a controversial A-side decision against Chisora?
    2017/18 when he was gifted a controversial A-side decision against Parker and was knocked down by Oscar Rivas?
    2019/20 when he looked like **** against ancient Mariusz Wach and was sparked out by ancient Povetkin?

    Wilder was a can crusher, and he would have crushed Whyte's glass chin.

    Wilder was always beatable but his "prime" was probably in 2018-19
    Agree that Whyte never had a prime

    Whytes pressure would always have caused problems for Wilder, and there's no way Deontay would've taken that left hook and stayed conscious.

    I've always thought Whyte would win this.

    I think the fact one of them was desperate for the fight and the other couldn't run away fast enough suggests that both fighters thought the same.

    Whyte may have been limited, but his resume is still better than Wilders by a decent way - filthy PEDs cheat or not, the difference between the two is a huge amount of hype for Wilder... Which still persists to this day apparently, SMH.

    There was a time I thought Whyte could do it. Now it's 60/40 Wilder.

    Probably Wilder but...
    I always think Whyte got this wild and crazy agression needed to make this guys some serious problem. Then Fury fight happend where he dont do ****...
    But it was after hard KO from Povetkin what cost him much probably and hard test antidoping. And Fury is not Wilder.

    Deontay dont feel good on backfoot . That might cost him problem with agresive Whyte who is for sure stronger dude.

    But I would not risk put money on him. Probably Whyte vs Wilder is 70/30 fight or at last 65/35 for Leshun Wilder.

    I'm gonna be straight with you now.

    This is totally irrational, and I can't really justify it.

    But when I see your thread titles including the word (PRIME) it really triggers me.

    Probably Wilder by KO. I always wanted these 2 to fight, even today I wouldn't mind it.
