    Yes or No if 'No' state your case.

    Not a chance! Whyte is the 3rd greatest boxer of all time behind AJ and Andy Ruiz.

    Been wobbled and KOed as much as Khan. He's not going to improve either. He should retire. Had a decent scam running for a while and did very well out of it.

    Would be a cracking scrap with Bakole.

    For someone with such a reputation he's been down a few times. Joshua, Parker, Rivas, Povetkin (iced) and Fury all knocked him over. He's still comfortably top level, it's just that most of the top level are pretty similar.

    You could see Joyce and Dubois felling him too.

    Nowhere near shot and doesn’t have a glass mandible but is now post prime athletically and in the chin department.

    Yes but given that they don't push the good young heavies and he will probably be able to fight crappola like Dubois, Chisora III, Ruiz, etc, he will fight on and have reasonable success.

    No not at all

    But he needs to figure out why he’s so prone to getting caught with uppercuts and try to rectify it

    It truly is the money shot against him

    He may be little bit past the peak but not shot fighter. he was never complete world level. More so "European' or the British level class

    He's been world level because the world level isn't that good. Fortunate timing, but you can only fight what's out there and willing to take you on.

    Right now it seems Usyk and Fury are in their own level, at their peak, then the rest maybe with Joshua downwards. Whyte's in that mix.

    Whyte is on the way down, but there are still attractive fights for him. It's no shame to lose to Tyson Fury. Fury is an expert in making opponents look ordinary.

    Have never rated him. He’s now chinny and shot so don’t give him much hope against any of the big names.

    He is not shot to bits my any means. Just that Fury is elite and Whyte has never had very good punch resistance.

    Dillians chin is shot to bits, but still very physically capable in the other areas.

    If I was Warren, I would be offering him a 2 fight deal with option for a 3rd. First one against a steady opponent like Takam on normal BT as he would deliver big ratings, if he comes through than I would cash him out against Dubois on PPV who will likely highlight reel KO him.

    He can clearly be hit and hurt, he always has been this way so I can't see that anything's changed.

    Shot? Nah. He just found out that he is not on Fury's level at all.
