Whyte/Pulev is a competitive match up. But I favor Pulev, he had far more easy time against Chisora than Whyte had and Pulev is much better boxer than Whyte is. If Pulev don't engage in a slug fest he wins.

 

If Pulev engages in slug fest than he will lose like this fight against Rivas in the amateurs:

Actually, defense is his strong point, he moves head and covers up pretty well. Besides, he has power to stun people.

If boxing is excluded from Olympic Games that will influx much needed talent to professionals. Amateurs won't be left in tatters either.

 

If we look closely at the pro scene than Italy doesn't have one good heavyweight but if Vianello turns pro that will change rapidly. They have Modugno but he needs to be more active. Also if Omarov and Babanin turns pro that will boost Russia's heavyweight credentials considerably. Also, Turkey, England, Brazil, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan and others will benefit from amateur heavyweights turning pro. And this would be beneficial in financial aspect also.

 

Everywhere you look there is a need for the talent from the amateur ranks.
