Dillian Whyte: The Most Overrated HW of the Millenmium

no he doesnt. whyte is legit terrible

 

popular boxer bad!

 

I don't think he was overrated. He was ranked top 5 for a good reason, he took risky fights and had a better resume than most in the top 10.

Sure Whyte was always beatable the Chisora fights showed his true level but most of those ranked below him simply lacked the resume to rank above him. Guys like Hrgovic, I would pick to KO Whyte, Joyce too would batter him but fact his they don't have the resumes yet to be ranked higher. Ortiz would of likely beaten him too but Ortiz's resume is so thin it's transparent.

Fact is he deserved his title shot, more so than many guys that are gifted shots. I mean Molina, Duhaupas, Washington, Breazeale etc did those guys deserve title shots? Whyte was never going to beat Fury, he barely beat Chisora who Fury dominated but that doesn't mean Whyte didn't deserve his shot and hadn't earned it.

 

"I want maximum violence!"

"Directed at my chin!"

"In the form of an uppercut!"

 

Why do you think he was overrated?
I don't know of anyone claiming anything with him
What is known is that he fought and beat Chisora, Parker, Rivas, Povetkin, Helenius and gave Joshua a tough fight

All fights are different. In the 2nd Wilder fight, Wilder didn't look any better, just didn't suffer a clean ko, but was knocked down a couple of times

 

Whyte was never a good boxer, always a brawler who had good tenacity and good power. So if you have decent boxing skills, you can beat him if you can avoid the brawl!

Shot to bits Maruisz Wach jabbed Whytes head off in the early rounds before gassing. this tells you the fighter whyte is.

 

I said earlier the era he fights in is overrated.

I might change that or nuance it in the sense that with the little skill and decent resume he has he is a top 5 HW now which tells you all you need to know about this era.

 

Everybody brings up his resume which is fair as he s had a tough schedule as any at HW and it is a DECENT resume obce you actually nuance it:
-Chisora 1:was really lucky to get the nod,most people scored against him.Great fight though so who cares?
-Chisora 2:Was losing up until the ref helped distracted Chisora.
-Parker:gassed terribly and had the headbutt incident help.You can make a case that was fight changing.
-Rivas:One of his cleanest wins.Then he pops dirty.Me personally I dont care as everyone cheats but some people do.
-Povetkin:absolute past it worst version of Povetkin
-Helenius:good win but at late notice.
The guy really isnt up to much.

 

Yoka

 

Ofcourse some might just be enjoynig the fight & pick an outsider for a laugh etc...its not a life & death thing picking a fight wrong ...to normal people at least >Shrug<...

 

Of course.
But I wasn't referring to people who might have picked Whyte "for a laugh etc".
I mean people who have seriously bought into Whyte as a serious threat in the division over the last 4 years or so. Maybe hundreds of thousands of people in the UK especially do believe what Eddie Hearn and SKY SPORTS were saying, because they can't be bothered to form their own opinion. The idea that Whyte was "one of the best, and most avoided, most accomplished" contenders who ever waited for a title shot, in whole of boxing history .... Stuff like that.

None of this matters in the grand scheme of things but it's interesting how the sports media can inflate a boxer's reputation with hyperbolic version of events.

 

Any media reporter sports or otherwise are full of exagerration, its their job...so what , no one takes it for real Tucker carson is a fine example lol...

 

I think you'd be surprised by what some people do take seriously.
A lot of people do believe what media tells them.
But, yes, I'm sure on a boxing forum people didn't really believe Whyte was much good. The 'casual fan' though, might have bought it.
