    Would be a good fight but Wilder doesn't want it.

    Hometown reffing gave Whyte the win though.

    Fans of deontay (extra 30 seconds when he needs it) wilder can officially NEVER complain about reffing.

    In your dreams. Whyte just got a lucky win over Parker and got another lucky one over Chisora. I hate Wilder but his win over Ortiz Shits all over Whytes resume and he put's Whyte to sleep within 6 rds.

    Whyte was very lucky the round ended, after that knock down he was shot, hanging on & just lucky...a minute earlier in the round & parker would have been the winner.
    A good fight & they both did well.

    He should definitely have moved up.
    I look at resumes and overall resumes and would go back and forth with how I could place some fighters.
    I do think he should be above Wilder now as he has IMO 2 better wins than any Wilder has. A title shouldnt give someone a rating it is the opposition and Whyte has now in far less fights fought greater opposition

    IMO Parker and Brown
    I rate both above the Ortiz win which I think could be Wilders

    No he shouldn't, he doesn't hold any belts and his biggest win up to this point was against a contender, not a champion (no disrespect to Parker.)

    I think he was carefully matched up after the loss to JOshua sans the Parker fight which I thought Jospeh might be able to eke out.

    I'm not that big of a fan of Deontay Wilder, but I have no doubt he'd knock Whyte out cold by the mid to late rounds. DIllian is very sloppy, throws a lot of wild, amateur-like shots in the ring that usually leave him off balanced when he misses (something I see Wilder capitalizing on,) he seemingly has stamina issues, doesn't really come into the fights in top shape and he's very slow of foot and with his hands. Wilder is too strong and athletic for him- I see him knocking him out cold- probably even worse than what Joshua did to him.

    And as far as him rematching AJ- Joshua has improved a decent amount since they fought a few years back. I think he would end Whyte even earlier in the second go around.

    Props to Dillian for the resurgence in his career since losing to AJ but IMO the 2 clear cut fighters at HW that stand above everyone else is Joshua and Wilder. Everyone outside of them is just fodder at this juncture.

    Considering he got a gift over Chisora would Chisora be number 1 then?

    Browne was grossly flabby and out of shape against Whyte, had hardly fought in 3 years and was never all that anyway, and it's debatable that he even beat Parker (i personally don't think he did, i scored 114-111 to Parker though i don't argue too much with the result as there were alot of close rounds) who had just come off being soundly beaten by AJ. I really don't see how there better than Wilder's win over undefeated top contender Ortiz.

    I wouldn't mind hyping Whyte but he was almost knocked out at the end and benefited from a kd that was a head butt. A win but a far from resounding one, for me anyway. Ortiz vastly more emphatic vs a guy Parker struggled to put a dent in.
