    Wallin is living off of that loss against Fury and that says more about Fury than it does Wallin. He outboxed a slow fat bum Breazeale. at least Whyte has beaten Chisora, Parker, and Rivas. Wallin has superior foot speed that whyte but even Aj has better head movement. Whyte will eventually catch him.

    Ehhh.... For my money he fought on even(hell arguably lesser) terms with Chisora other than that one punch in the rematch and was lucky to get the nod against Parker. Whyte is tough, hits hard but he's overachieved with a fair bit of luck helping him along the way. There's lots of lesser regarded heavyweights more than capable of beating him.

    Wallin by decision.

    It would be a pretty good fight , if it were ever made.

    At the same time, one thing I appreciate about Whyte, is he finds a way to win regardless of potential short comings. I think that is a pretty good quality in an sportsman: being able to grind out wins.

    But you might be right that he will likely take more losses if he continues taking fights against top 15 opponents. But let's enjoy it while it lasts. It's only really Joshua outpacing him in that regard.

    I think Whyte would rough him up and take away Wallins skill advantage

    Wallin would have a few moments but ultimately lose

    I have seen nothing from Wallin that makes me believe he is major threat to Whyte.

    Fury fought to his opponents level with Wallin and was hampered by a dangerous cut so as it stands until I see a solid win against a live opponent I won't be jumping on the small bandwagon that are suggesting Wallin is a serious contender.

    People criticising Whyte when he has the best resume outside of AJ at heavyweight. Mental.

    Not even a champion and has Parker, Povetkin, Helenius, Chisora and Rivas on his record.

    Whyte gets criticism because as decent as his resume is, he acts like he will fight anyone

    Clearly not true

    He does not have. His resume contains questionable backyard wins vs Chisora and Parker.
    A.J togheter with referee defeated Parker, it was classic british hometown fight for tickets seller. When things not comfortable for A.J, ref helps him. It is shame not marquee fight.

    While I think that A.J is better than Parker, both Parker's fights vs Whyte and A.J had been officiated in traditional british souce when away corner kid fights vs ref and opponent.
    You might tell that I'm dumb or what you wish, about these fights a lot of comments on YT. I do not post comments in YT.

    You're just looking at those wins from a face value perspective and not applying any context whatsoever lol. Whyte is a boxer and this is a boxing forum - not everyone is going to fawn over him mindlessly like a fanboy. Get over it.

    Not a great fan of Whyte but he surely has too much for Wallin

    I don't know. Wallin definitely doesn't looks future " world beater " but he definitely is larger and more mobile than old legless pov over the hill and more mobile and agile than 39 y.o old Pulev's version so to hit him will be more difficult than to KO these mentioned boxers.

    I'm not for a second suggesting Whyte is this great boxer but the hate is unreal. He will fight anyone even if its a high risk low reward scenario. He does not beat the top 3 heavyweights but Wallin? Come on.

    Hardcore fans just see him as very limited and an overachiever. Yeah Wallin would have a very good shot at beating him. Why is that so hard to believe?
