    He literally couldn't stand up and fell back into the ropes.

    Want to hear a crazy stat?

    Dillian Whyte is probably going to retire having never lost a boxing match on points. Amateur or pro.

    Are you a Brit?

    Not until he steps in with a serious fighter do I start to assess his skills.

    Yeah I’m not into that kind of stoppage especially in the first round, either it was rigged or the ref fell for the hype of itauma, Whyte was on shaky legs but I don’t think he was there to fight, the only defence for that type of first round stoppage was the body language of Whyte, I think if it wasn’t stopped then he might have taken something heavy, but for a stoppage in the first round you should be absolutely scrambled and barely making the count. There is no defending that stoppage and it benefits no one, if anything it’s put the breaks on the hype

    Dude, Joshua fought Whyte in his 15th fight, 10 years ago, wtf are you talking about?
    (This was Itauma´s 13th fight)

    For Joshua, Whyte was merely a stepping stone to the BBBofC belt, thats it. If anything, that win aged well because Whyte did go on to perform well at the world level. Controversially so, but he still did it.

    At least Whyte wasn't stopped by an uppercut.

    I suppose that's progress.

    I think the modern HWs, as in the SHW sized ones, >>> the SHW sized HWs of some other eras. It's not so much that they're too big and slow for their size it's just Moses is a bit of a freak who has the speed and movement of a much lighter fighter whilst weighing 245-250lbs. I don't think there were HWs of that size with that kind of speed and agility in any other era either.

    Tyson was fast but he was 25-35lbs lighter than Moses

    Corrie Sanders had crazy hand speed but he was 15-35lbs lighter

    It shows you don't know what you are looking at and don't know how to scout talent.

    If he is 6'4'' it's pretty crazy he's as thick-set as he is. He has thick legs, a thick neck, and a big head and arms too

    excellent post - too much of this "he's not beat anyone yet" from people who don't know what they are looking at.

    as I've said, he's clearly not 6'4'' but you seem desperate to go along with that.

    I'm not ''desperate'' to go along with anything

    Even if he's 6'3'' or 6'2'' he's still thick-set like he's a real stocky 5'10'' dude

    Look at the face off videos he is clearly 2 inches taller than Whyte, who can't be shorter than 6'2. The only photo I can see of him with Fury is where Fury is doing his standing on tipey toes, trick, pretending to be 6'9. He is prob as tall as Parker when you compare him to Whyte in the face offs.
