    I think Whyte would be one of Wladimir's toughest opponents

    I can't see a version of Wlad that I would favor Whyte against. Maybe the Jennings or Fury versions, but even then it's still slightly in Wlad's favor.
    I don't think Whyte would make the top 10 to be fair.

    Do the math, his two biggest wins are debatable wins against Chisora and Parker.

    The answer is... **** no. This includes any version of Wlad, including the currently retired one.

    And it's debatable that he won either if those fights. Wlad today knocks Whyte out.

    I like Whyte, but lets be real, any version of either Klitschko smokes him.

    Guess we'll never find out :(

    The best version of Klitchko would have turned up though ;) as with Chisora, AJ, and Parker.

    Hell no. Madness talk here. Only chance a prime Whyte has against any version of Wlad is a very early green Wlad and even then it is a big maybe. If this current retired Wlad in his 40's came back now and pushed Chisora aside and took his place against Whyte in December it would be an absolute mismatch, Whyte wouldnt stand a chance.

    I like Whyte and he's teak tough. But Wlad would jab him to a pulp even now. Whyte is far too slow to give Wlad serious problems.

    No and non.

    Plus Whyte doesn't beat Povetkin, Chagaev, Ibragimov, Haye, Peter, Chambers.

    Vlad was too technically sound to let Whyte's imprecise flailing punches get anywhere near his chin. And good luck finding the body, Dillian... not many did, even with pre-Manny Steward Vlad. So there goes the money punch out of the window. It's an awful technical match-up for Whyte and that's before you factor in the talent-deficit (I'm feeling especially polite today)...

    Current Wlad would beat him up on muscle memory alone

    To quote a certain slimey, reptilian:

    Whyte has 2 chances. Slim and none. And slim is outta town.

    Maybe against the super green, less composed version of Wlad that punched himself out against Purrity. Still he doesn't have Purrity's iron chin and would've probably been blown out early there too.

    He needs to give old man Chisora a rematch TBQH. I have no desire to see Whyte against,
    Joshua (again), Wilder, Fury or even Ortiz. He has unfinished business. Hell, I'd rather see him
    fight Parker again. Whyte isn't deserving of another title shot yet.
