As usual, as soon as a fighter loses he's not all of a sudden "overrated". This ongoing stupidity isn't even yawn worthy anymore.
He's proven himself as a top 10 heavyweight with a good resume, and some nice highlight reel KOs. But it was never deserving of being a PPV fighter The main reason for his bad performance, is the that he came against one of the greatest heavyweights of all time, people need to realise just how exceptional Tyson Fury is.
I’ve been talking about how overrated Whyte was even before he lost to Povetkin you moron. https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/whytehrgovic.596164/#post-18843245
He's been blessed by ideal matchmaking I think. Never really faced an opponent who's style was the foil to his and it showed tonight.
It’s not the loss, it’s all that happened between the fist bell and when the ref waived it off…just a terrible performance overall.
Even though he was affected by the headbutt both during the fight and on the scorecards, Parker losing to Whyte was still a disappointing performance that looks worse and worse in retrospect
He was frustrated dealing with Fury's awkward style. Then again, Wladimir was too and Whyte is leagues below Wladimir.
If he weren't with Matchroom and hadn't fought Joshua he would have zero hype and zero fans. Hearn's interest in him was making Joshua's resume look good. His best wins are Parker and Rivas who have beaten who?
He's a top 10 fighter. At one point, he may have been top 5. He's not a bad fighter. He's just not a elite fighter and that's okay.
Whyte has been overhyped. Everyone outside of Brits and Whyte fans saw this as an easy fight for Fury. Now that Fury stopped his ass there are still people who still refuse to accept that Whyte is not that good.
