    He should fight Martin or Breazale. I'd actually like to see him fight Miller.

    He should fight Wallin.

    If he's going to blame Fury's push for his loss, then yes. Fury's push saved his career. A left hook in that situation and he may not have gotten back up.

    I get there are still fights to make and he could make a few quid but who wants to see AJ 2 or chisora 3 I'd rather watch paint dry.

    I think the only fight of interest is vs wilder because of their earlier beef.

    I would like to see fight though, be another Fury victory imo. But not PPV for me either.

    What has any remotely decent heavyweight got to gain from fighting Whyte at this point? Stopped in two of his last three fights, unless you batter him you aren't going to get any credit or recognition.

    That's the thing. He's got no bargaining chip.

    Isn't a belt holder or a Gatekeeper. He's in limbo.

    You know how the boxing game is, a couple of wins against some carefully selected opponents and he'll be in the conversation for a big fight. Chisora and Price done/did it for years. I found it incredible how avenging his embarrassing KO to Povetkin was enough to wipe the slate clean and get a title shot. They get chinned and then remarketed to the mugths who in turn become convinced that they are somehow better versions of what they used to be....until they get chinned again.

    So Whyte can keep rinsing it and making a load of money.

    A trilogy fight v War Chisora beckons on DAZN UK PPV followed by challenging Babic for the Matchroom Heavyweight Pudding Title, a defence against Tony Dosh PPV and he is back in the frame to fight the winner of Usyk v Fury on BT Sports Box Office subject to legal action.

    Not that people were frightened to face Whyte, anyway, but there will be a whole host of them especially keen to face him now. His punch resistance was never the same after the Joshua fight. It must be a lot worse now. I would heavily favour Wallin to do him.

    When you've got to tell ridiculous lies about your head bouncing off the ring when it clearly never, and you were not even one bit competitive in the biggest fight of your entire career,then its time to have a look at what you want to do with yourself

    One will never improve if not accepting their weaknesses and the truth - the starting point for any comeback if one wants to improve performance.

    If one does the same thing again whether boxing or reading the same book, it will always have the same ending.

    The Pov KO wasn't embarrassing, it was beautiful and brutal.
