When will people realise that Dillian Whyte is an absolute bum heavyweight?

    He's such a simple boy that he probably didn't realize.

    No shame in losing to Fury.

    It’s not like he was beaten black and blue and having to give up against a 5’11” morbidly obese Mexican Rice Pudding who was on 5 week notice.

    Very accurate. He wasn't going to be able to win the title that way but it shown a lot of worrying signs should Fury face a truly world class southpaw in Usyk.

    Whyte is a plodder, so many levels below even a standard HW of the past with any movement or boxing ability.

    In fairness to him he is levels below Danny Williams, Matt Skelton, and David Price. Still he has plenty of bottle and heart.

    I'm massively gutted this ended up being the big uk stadium fight we got in the end when it should have been for all the belts, Gutted, what a let down, but it was always going to be with dillian headlining, when he's a chisora level type fighter.


    Made a good living for the limited fighter he is though. To put it mildly!

    It would be like Pep Guardiola setting up in the first ten minutes against Liverpool with an extreme low block with ten men behind the ball. It might be effective in that it would prevent Liverpool from scoring early but it would pose absolutely zero attacking threat.

    Whyte’s only chance here was to get in close and just catch Fury cold. Setting up southpaw did absolutely nothing but delay the inevitable. And that was foolhardy because I think everyone could see that the longer the fight went, Whyte’s very minute chances of winning just diminished.

    Earn can sell a parking ticket back to a Traffic Warden - the man is a genius

    All those PPV Mugths forking out £25 a number of times thinking they are watching the next Ali - not just Whyte but War Chisora, Paint Dry Parker, Tony Dosh PPV, Shell Brook and Connor Benn soon to join this list of non elite 'Superstars'

    Simply sensational work by a world class salesman - Mr Earn you have done a real number on them.

    I specifically said on here to Whyte's superfan on here, that Hearn's biggest ever achievement was convincing and conning the public into buying Whyte's PPV. Conning them into thinking he was anything other than a fat bum/plodder.

    Fury made him look a bum and compared to fury he is a bum.

    Usyk made joshua look a bum

    Whyte, wilder, Joshua, Parker, ruiz etc etc etc are all about the same level. The top 10/15 guys can all beat each other.. Then you have 2 elite p4p fighters in usyk and fury. Doesn't make the rest bums they are great fighters but we just happen to have 2 ATGs ahead of them all.

    Whyte is a respectable British heavyweight.
    Nothing special. He's like Chisora. Not a complete bum but not a serious world contender either.

    It's funny that Whyte and some of his supporters were actually saying he was worth more than the money he was paid. Was he really??

    Let's be real. Wazza did the biggest scam by making nearly 100'000 people pay to see Whyte fight live and many many more through other mediums.

    Wazza could sell salt to a slug if Hearn could sell a ticket to a warden.

    Respectable? Dubois and Joyce are ahead of him, so are AJ and Tyson. He isn't far ahead of Chisora. And Del is 300 in fighting years. He's atrocious.
