Whyte took bombs for 12 rounds vs Chisora and 7 rounds vs Joshua, he has a solid chin. Him and Parker going down was more surprise shot/exhuastion than chin destruction, both guys had limited time to train for that fight, both have very good chins. Miller is the wildcard, undoubtably he has a good chin but just how good is yet to be seen. Not a single boxer or kick boxer has been able to stop him coming forward yet so ill take a punt on it with the size of his head. Miller was jolting and lifting a 240 Dinu off the ground with his body shots, and with the hercules frame of Joshua, he stated Whytes body shots were killing him. How does Wilders ectomorph frame hold up against 2 volume punching pressure fighters who attack the body?
lol Eventually he’ll get stopped like most heavyweights do The man had a successful career keep hating
As bad as Wilder looked last weekend I'd still favour him over Miller and Whyte. Fury is as elusive as it gets while Whyte and Miller are easy to hit. I think they'd be competitive fights though, Wilder isn't head a shoulders above them but he has that huge punch to bail him out and there's no guarantee that Whyte and Miller can rise from the dead like Fury.
Whyte is all wrong for Wilder. He will do what Tyson should have done at times, get up close, rough him up, lean on him and smash his body to bits.
Wilder knocks Whyte out within 5.. Dunno about Miller. Miller would outweigh Wilder by 110 pounds.. Could be the same KO as Stiverne II or if Miller has a solid chin he can pull the upset...
Miller and Whyte aren't in the same boat, Miller is better boxer with better chin. Whyte has better resume than Miller so far, so I rank him higher, but h2h Miller is far harder opponent for AJ, Fury or Wilder.
Miller is the real bogeyman of the division. He makes good fighters look like small average weaklings.
This is why he ducked Whyte in the UK for career high payday and a shot at AJ. And Miller would have 100+ lbs on Wilder, coming non stop, throwing punches, not exactly easy night's work.
I agree with the above. I would add Usyk, Povetkin, Parker, Pulev and Hunter to fighters I would back to beat Wilder if he was to fight them.
Anyone still calling wilder glass jawed is clearly an idiot. You cannot possibly make it this far in boxing with his sloppy style and leaky defense without getting stopped at some point.
Right? Didn’t Lennox Lewis get sparked out by Rahman and McCall? Great fighters get caught sometimes. Hasn’t happened to Wilder yet.
Why don't people who are saying that Whyte and co get "KO'd cold" actually explain how/why Wilder Kos them? Based on what we have all seen, Wilder (vs better opposition) is pretty trash. Whyte bodies Wilder in the mid rounds, too much work rate, too much body work and a good amount of pop. Wilder visibly gassed in rounds 9-12 against Fury - who barely touched Wilder to the body, Whyte would slaughter him.
Apparently he is not. He is Letting emotions get in the way of logic. I'd love to see Miller-Fury. Two massive guys. What will Miller do with a guy as big as he is and a much better boxer? And he (Miller) is not going to intimidate Fury with his menacing stare.
I actually like Whyte and believe he has good timing and power, but his conditioning down the stretch would let him down against Wilder. I really wish he would get his weight back down to 230-235, since at 250+ I can't back him against Widler, Joshua, or Fury. Fury's efficient footwork and head movement left him full of energy in the later rounds against Wilder while Whyte could still use some work in both departments.
