With him being rank 4 WBC I think, he is pushing his way into a mandatory shot with Wilder. Him v Wilder would be windmill after windmill, but that's the only HW title I see him having a chance of winning. Be good if he could capture a title because the unification with Joshua would be huge!
I guess like many fighters it could depend on how he is matched. Im not knocking Wilder at all here but his 3 fights before his WBC title shot was against N Firtha who had been beaten several times, M Scott coming off a loss and Gavern coming off a loss. I would favour Whyte if he had those 3 fights respectively at that time and would have favoured him against Stiverne at that time. But if Whyte is matched say against a returning T Fury for a title shot it could be alot tougher. Hope that makes sense?
Disclaimer: I've only seen 4 of his fights. As far as top guys, I think he loses to them all, I think even a motivated Andy Ruiz beats him. I'd like to actually see him fight an Oquendo, Mansour, Helenius, Breazale etc.....I think that will show where he stands.
I think he would give Wilder as good an examination as Duhuapas or Spzilka did and similarly Parker, as far as Joshua goes he had him robot dancing for a few secs and can defo inflict some damage, albeit he was out gunned there. If he looks okay against Wach and gets any kind of win he's on course for a shot.
As far as the other side of the world, New Zealand. I quite like Whyte and I think he has a lot of fight in him, would love for him to get a shot at Parker but he has to show some improvement against Wach.
champion no doubt. he can do it. in this era when briggs vs oquendo is happening for a title and there other titles sense its such a joke yeah he can be. charles martin did it so i think whyte can become champion. really if boxing was ran like i would like it to be realistically hes just a contender. a guy right outside the top 5
Doing away not to bad atm. I rated him before joshua. Just needed to get fitter and stronger. Not sure hes improving with the way the new teams got him fighting tho. Could be either that or the shoulder injury. I think he gives anyone a fight though just got one of them mentalitys. You need to nail him to the floor to beat him. Still think hes got a say in the joshua story somewhere along the way. Although theres better heavyweights out there i still think he gives him trouble. Aj didnt like the pressure...whyte also used to be quite sneaky at sticking a good shot in.
He's alright, doesn't have the attitude to be a world champion. He still thinks he's a big scary man from Brixton. He also has a really unattractive fighting style, everything seems to shake when he fights...
