    Yes, he didn’t blast hum out or anything, but he did dominate, had great punch selection, he was setting him up well, had great timing and when Tetteh did attack, he didn’t land anything effective or clean at all, Whyte showed good head movement and defence. Yes he went rounds, but he would’ve wanted to get rounds in having been inactive.

    Tetteh was tougher than I thought but Whyte has defo declined as a fighter since the Fury loss.

    Still has some big fights left in him though. Would love to see Whyte fight Wilder, Miller, Joyce, Zhang, Bakole, etc.

    No amount of word shuffling jiu jitsu changes the fact that Whyte is a brutal knock out waiting to happen. Too little left without his drugs.

    Hate to think what one of the top guys would do to Whyte at this stage.

    Povetkin made him humble a little, Fury finished the job.


    He is 36, but I would like to see him fight Wilder in the all HWs undercard.

    Because the opponent was quite bad, Whyte is not finished yet and would be a good opponent for Hrgovic's potential comeback...

    This guy couldn't wait to get out when he fought Dubois 5 years ago and Warren got heavily criticised for selecting Tetteh as an opponent, now Whyte's getting praise for going 7 with this guy.

    Everyone, go watch what he looked like in the amateurs against Joshua. Then think about him now. I mean, he's still effable but...

    Didn't dubious deal with this tetteh when tetteh was in his prime, sparked him in a round?
