In terms of both fighter's individual quality, I'm not so sure. Especially when you consider this is supposed to be the hallmark division
This weekend we have a HW world title fight in Parker-Ruiz. Wilder-Whyte is surely at least one level above a fight like that.
Sure the **** talking before the fight would be great, it would sell in the UK, but not worth it from Whyte's end. Whyte is too easy to hit and I don't think he has devastating power to concern Wilder. I like him though but I wouldn't rush him.
Parker-Ruiz is better because Ruiz is fat, which therefore makes the fight hilarious. Comedy value>>>>boxing ability, always
After the occurrences on Saturday, I have a lot of faith in Whyte, given the accuracy he displayed against Chisora (a better Chisora than the one who recently fought Pulev's jab). There's still a lot of intangibles with both Whyte and Wilder: What will Wilder's strength be when he returns, for example? As well as Whyte's shoulder (as he's recovering). Apparently Parker is seeking a unification clash with Wilder; though I have to admit I thought that perhaps Whyte may clash with Wilder; but if Parker beats Wilder, I have much more faith in Whyte stopping Parker. Some interesting information: 1. Stopped Nascimento in 2 rounds, something Parker, couldn't do. 2. Despite being injured, Whyte stopped Brian Minto faster than Parker.
I really cannot fathom how Saturday night can have in any way enhanced Dillian Whyte's reputation. He just eked out a split decision victory - several times during which he came close to being stopped, I might add - over a washed Dereck Chisora, for f*ck's sake! He has given no indication that he's anything more than a domestic-level heavyweight. Duhaupas and Szpilka would probably beat him.
Lol so obviously you've never boxed with the 'boxer A beats boxer C' logic. Try to understand styles make fights and every fight is different and factors why.
Hi Deontay, when are you going to fight someone with a pulse....... Jokes aside tell me Wilders fantastic 'history' and record and tell me you dont come to the same conclusion as myself. He hasn't fought a half decent opponent ever and is holding the belt he 'won' hostage and will continue to do so until a decent cash out is available. Get off his nuts.
I make Wilder a significant at favourite, but at the same time I wouldn't too shocked if he got upset.
Lean even more towards Wilder now after the Chisora fight, but Whyte still would have a good punchers chance.
Wilder should beat Whyte and if he doesn't then he was never much to begin with. On my card, Whyte lost to a very faded (but inspired) Chisora who was exhausted by mid fight.
