Dillian Whyte should just retire?

Why should he retire? Because some random person on the internet who’s probably never laced up a pair of gloves in their life tells him to? He can still make big pay days fighting top contenders and he’s only 32 years old. Despite his losses he probably will be given a world title shot eventually. Why give that up? He loves to fight so why not keep doing it even if he probably is never gonna be a world champ or beat any of the top guys.

 

I don't agree with him retiring yet. He's beaten top 10 opponents and looked like he could handle Povetkin and I think he's got at least a 50/50 chance of beating Povetkin.

I think if he sticks around for 2-3 more years when Fury retires he could maybe worry Joshua. Probably not but I still think Whyte could be a top 10 fighter for a while.

 

2 losses against two top ten guys does not mean you should retire

 

Whyte isnt looking for a perfect record. He wants to be an all action fighter with a fan friendly style that will always draw an audience.

He knows his own limitations and openly admitted them. He is not deluded like Wilder was and still is. He works to improve himself and, despite reverting back to type occasionally, his improvement trajectory is still there.

A guy with a lot of pride who is aware of his limitations will always be a threat.

 

Retire? That's foolish, I don't even like Whyte but he's most assuredly a top 10 guy. He has losses Joshua (the number 2 guy) and Povetkin (6ish or 7ish guy) and then a skin of his teeth win against Parker (another top 10 guy). He's still a top contender.

 

One loss to a punch that would have knocked out a horse and now he should retire. Embarrasing

 

Why would anyone retire from a profession where they are at the top making the top 1% money?

He is a PPV headlining UK boxer. Who else is there at that level in the UK, other than AJ and Fury. Possibly Josh Taylor at some point too.

He will make insane amounts of money from fighting even below PPV headliner level, as the second biggest HW on sky sports.

 

Needs to surrender his boxing gloves to the bomb squad. Apologize to the wbc president for his foolish comments, and say sorry to Deontay for laughing at him over his costume.

 

If he gets ktfo'd again in the rematch I would say he has a decision to make. I doubt he will tbh.

 

I wasn't convinced that he was a credible contender until the Parker fight, where he proved otherwise with an even fight against a top10 HW. While I still think he's been the most overrated fighter in the last 3 years or so and can't get over all the shenanigans with the fight against Oscar Rivas, he still has something to offer in the division.

 

No one should ever apologise to that glass jaw noodle legged bum.

 

Yes

Wilder, AJ, Ruiz and Whyte should all retire following their embarrassing losses.

Give the belts to Fury

& Let Dubious have a crack to dethrone The Gypsy King in 5 years time.

Whyte Povetkin 2 will be the most anticipated fight of the year.

 

You on the Dubois hype train as well? I’d love to see him get chinned.

 

Considering the danger every boxer faces when they step into the ring they should all retire tomorrow.

Whyte clearly has a lot of decent paydays ahead of him, and perhaps a few more embarrassing KOs, but that's the nature of the game. Provided Whyte tightens up his defence and learns from his mistakes he should be fine. He got obliterated by Joshua and went on one of the best runs of form of any HW in the years following. I'm actually excited to see how he bounces back from this. More than I am for Wilder, who's clearly going to implode from here on out.
