    It's an highlight reel KO I'd like to add to my watch list.

    Dillian is in the running for top dog in the showreel list, if he keeps this up he'll be undisputed :bananaride

    No change to my pick, Wilder starches him.

    don’t get too carried away, wilder got his ass handed to him too. Probably worse than Whyte to be totally honest

    wilder probably beats Whyte tho I *think*

    He did, but he's much more durable than either of them and always seemed to be dangerous unlike Whyte.

    Difficult to say.Both B-tier fighters. In their last 3, both KO'd twice, and both stopped an opponent that probably shouldn't have been sharing a ring with them.

    Wilder and Whyte haven't fought yet. Fury on form beat Wilder and Whyte comfortably. Then there is the question of what does either man have left?

    Think it is a fight no one would turn their nose up at. And if it is an easy fight for Widler, consider it a tune up to get back in the picture to fight a Usyk or Joshua.

    Hope to see it

    Whyte Would have a better chance of landing himself against Wilder. One of those left hooks and Wilder is down.

    Wilder puts him to sleep in under 6.

    As much as I find Wilder overrated I think Whyte tailor made for him. The Whyte of the Joshua bout has a chance but the low energy I’m only here for a paycheck we saw tonight gets Stiverne’d by Wilder in 1.

    I've always sad whyte would beat him after that it does raise questions he looked awfull.

    But fury made him look that way, wilder will make him look like a world title contender again.

    If whyte can get to him early and unload he will win. If wilder catches him with 1 decent punch he will spark him.

    Becomes a more interesting fight now but doesn't look like we will see wilder in the ring again.

    Whoever prevented Whyte from getting a crack at Wilder, they did him a favour, saved him from the embarrassement of getting carried out of the ring on a strecher.

    I think Ortiz who can throw uppercuts with both hands would’ve knocked Whyte out too, if they faced back in 2018 when they were ordered to do so.

    I think it could go either way
    I think both have the power to stop the other.
    I would slightly favour Whyte as I think he could make it physical

    Seems forgotten how long Whyte was Wilders mandatory

    Always favoured Wilder. Would probably be like the Ortiz fights, Wilder bides his time, losing rounds waiting for Whyte to make a mistake and then boom Wilder flattens him. Though it wouldn't take as long as it did with Ortiz as Whyte unlike Ortiz makes so many defensive mistakes.
