    Fringe contender. But I don't rate him particular high... But he has and probably will continue to give us entertaining HW slugfests. He can make some good money, but don't think he'll ever win a world title. Definitely enjoy watching him fight, I didn't rate him at all prior to his fighting Joshua or Chisora and thought he would do a lot worse against Joshua than he actually did. So he's definitely proven me wrong to some extent.

    If the opportunity presents itself of course. But I don't rate that belt at all. Yeah Whyte/Wilder would definitely be an entertaining slug fest while it lasted.

    I don't put too much thought into rankings but if I had to place him anywhere it would be around #10 currently.
    That's with Haye being unrated since he's fought nobody since his comeback and hasn't shown any intention to do so.

    That he couldnt seperate himself from a shot Chisora tells me a lot.

    I like Dillian White, he's fun to watch but thats it. Wont win a title, even off Wilder. But that fight would be a good scrap.

    Also, do not change your username into WhiteisBack, some poster did for David Price and ...umm....it didnt go that well

    Chisora was outboxing him and basically gassed himself trying to put away, honestly I felt for Chisora not winning that though can't really argue too much with the result - was an awesome fight and very closely matched, but obviously not world title level stuff. Both guys would be awesome gatekeepers for any one aiming to legit contender level, and probably give any title holder a solid keep busy fight that they'd be unlucky to lose.

    Well I don't rate him high as well , but in the years where Oquendo vs Briggs is in the makings for a tittle , I wouldn't be surprised if he gets an easy chance and win it. Whyte is a potential solid gatekeeper in the future.

    He's OK, I thought he lost to this version of Chisora though which isn't a great sign.

    I despise the fact he has himself as undefeated in his Twitter bio though, really bugs me.

    IMO he is fringe world level. Solid fighter but reckon the Chisora fight was around his top level.

    Pretty sure he will get a title shot at some point as Eddie is his promoter!
