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

    You do have to wonder where Whyte would be IF he hadn't beaten Joshua in the amateur.

    He's respectable, yes. He's among the top British heavyweights. He's not a world class fighter but he's good British level.

    Wilder is a warrior and only 1 second away from beating The Gypsy King in two of the three fights.

    There was no quit in Wilder and that punching power is a big danger to anyone who gets in the ring with him.

    Trying a bit of surprise I guess. You could see him warming up southpaw while Fury was on the way to the ring so it was no accident.

    After that performance from Dillian, would it put the casual punter off him?

    Could he struggle to sell the 02 out now?

    Wilder destroys Whyte. That's such an obvious one. People just refuse to believe what's in front of them to suit their weird agendas.

    Wilder can destroy nearly them all and only the world class skillset of Fury and Usyk is beyond him.

    If he landed on Usyk he could easily look like Pudding Whyte in Earn's garden

    Whyte was disgraceful last night with that performance, inept.

    Didn’t have a plan, plodded forward like chisora 2.0 and missed by a mile whenever he did throw something.

    body snatcher my arse

    He beat Parker who plenty still rate (I don’t).

    I don’t mind him. He usually gets in and has a go. Nearly knocked out the golden boy, banged Chisora out which Usyk couldn’t and was lovely to see, he’ll get in and scrap with anyone and it’s often exciting. Yes, he’ll stink the place out at times, that Helenious fight was horrendous but there’s a lot more people who deserve all the crap he gets but get away with it.

    I've said this all along.

    You can box all your life, have brilliant fundamentals, win gold medals, win everything but it doesn't mean that much when a wiry 6"7 Wilder can cut right through all that with his insanely long reach to chin you. Unless you have elusive, quick feet, he's going to land on you. He's willing to absorb a load of punishment as well. He doesn't get enough credit for the heart he's got.

    I enjoy watching Wilder waiting for that split second he lands and Fury plus Big John know he had to dig very deep himself in those fights.

    I was guilty of dismissing Wilder as a one trick pony for many years. I think it's unfair to tag him with that considering how tough he is; that's an asset in itself. Wilder would do well to lose 10kg or so before he next gets in the ring (which I think he will). Just because he has lost to Fury doesn't mean he'd lose to every other high level guy. It will also depend on whether the punches taken in the last bout will make any difference. He will be 37 soon.
