Of course. And since Whyte wouldn't have ducked a shot at unifying, it would've been likely to happen. Hearn probably figured even if Wilder was...
I don't see how you can really say that, though - as a hunch, sure, but Whyte proved he was definitely a contender, Ortiz never quite did. Ortiz...
Ortiz is slicker. Whyte aimed higher, proved more. Skills don't equal success - all about the overall package. Ortiz didn't prove enough to...
No. I'm as hard on him as anyone - if you looked at his resume blind, you certainly wouldn't bet money that this was a champion fighter... If...
The eye test is tricky with guys like Wilder.... Judging him on a champions level eye test when he wasn't fighting the kind of opponents a...
When he was rusty and unfit in #1. When he was fat and unfit in #3. The one time he turned up properly, he had zero problems. The fact he could...
True. I'm not sure it's a noble sense of fair play that made him rematch Fury - it's a combination of delusion (thinking he'd win second time)...
This. Parker is a legit contender, with viable paths to victory against other contenders. Hrgovic is super durable and decently skilled, but his...
Nice big step down to build confidence - understandable. Levels upon levels. Dubois comfortably wins this - 80/20
Not to mention he also chose to fight Fury, who'd popped for Nandrolone, which is more nefarious (in terms of perceived cheating) than anything...
The problem is twofold: 1) Lacking quality (contender) wins. 2) He lost every time he fought anyone good. The excuse for #2 will be that he was...
If Filip knocks him out at all, he's rocking a pretty iffy chin - not necessarily total glass, but a long way from iron. If Hrgovic knocks him...
Maybe... Agreed, it's good to have him in with someone durable. I just think Franklin, durable though he is, just clearly isn't going anywhere...
Realistically yes - not just because the resume is much better and not defined by ducking, but because that tells you a lot about how good they...
If Whyte hadn't been completely shot, that would've been a decent step up... Hindsight, he absolutely was and it absolutely wasn't. My issue with...
