I’m not saying Whyte was elite, but he was world level, he could box behind the jab and walk people onto punches and he is clearly underrated in that aspect, he wasn’t completely unskilled, he beat several world level fighters, Parker, Rivas, Chisora was also fringe world level at his best, looking back that Whyte rematch was Chisora’s prime IMO.
Why not ? Generally promoters don't just fling random amounts of money at fighters, the fighter will earn a proportion of what the fight will generate, that money coming from boxing fans, if it doesn't generate the reveune then they wouldn't earn that much, got to know your worth in any job.
There was a point in time where Hearn could sell a parking ticket back to a Traffic Warden. Some shrewd people on here knew the truth as far back as 2016 but many of the great British Public had no idea that Hearn was the master of spin and lies. The exposure of Joshua and Whyte in the ring along with the Benn drugs test fiasco opened many eyes in the UK.
Rivas world level?? That win might be one of the most overrated or hyped wins I've ever seen in boxing.
Bite your tongue! You are speaking about a man who is still arguably the greatest Bridgerweight champ to ever lace 'em up.
Based on the state of Chisora last night, Frank may have to get Big John Fury in the ring for his final fight.
Whyte also beat Browne when he was an undefeated big punching former world champion Povetkin Parker I think are arguably the 2 biggest names on the lists
If you want to add context you shouldn’t omit that Browne was 39 year old and totally out of shape and had been inactive . He was also never a world champion as he held WBA regular which isn’t the actual title belt
