By comparing their fights against Joshua and considering the fact that Whyte unlike Brazil is fighting and improving constantly and has beaten a genuine Top 10 heavyweight in Joseph Parker, i came to the conclusion that Whyte would win this fight pretty comfortably.
Yeah, but by comparing fights with Joshua, Parker should have also beaten Whyte comfortably. I wouldn't count out Breazeale. He would enjoy significant height and reach advantages and is very durable with solid fundamentals. The only problem would be activity. In the last 2 years Breazeale has fought twice and Whyte has fought seven times, I'm actually glad a lot of these guys are starting to wake up as to just how important being active is. But yeah, due to this, I would end up favoring Whyte.
Imo Parker didn't do much better than Whyte against Joshua. Whyte at least was able to hurt Joshua and he gave him troubles, Parker had problems to overcome the jab and he was negative as hell. I said already more than a year ago that Whyte would beat Parker.
Always interesting to see someone who has just been banned, and then try to figure out why. Just happened in the last ten minutes but I can't find what he did. Anyway, both Okin and Vykus are right on this. Whyte has the MUCH better resume and definitely deserves to be the solid favorite. But so did Parker over Whyte (and I agree Parker did much better against AJ). They are definitely close enough that I wouldn't be surprised by an upset win by Dom, and I think Dom's size, power and toughness would make for an interesting matchup.
I think he bypassed the word filter, saw one suspect post of him and immediately thought he is going to get busted, it was just a matter of time lol.
This would be a brawl and its very hard to win a fight like this against Breazeale. He has problems with high skilled boxers, but Whyte does not have the skillset to avoid a war. This would favour Breazeale, who is bigger, has more power and the better chin.
I like Brezeale but I think hes a bit too basic to be able to beat Whyte. If you are easy to hit and immobile I think that's not good vs whyte
Whyte wins this in a 12 round slugfest by about 3-4 rounds. Suprised Breazeale has been so inactive since the Joshua fight. He's obviously just waiting for his next title opportunity, at least Whyte's out there keeping active.
Breazeale may be bigger than Parker.... But he's also significantly slower. His fitness is based on being 'durable' rather than having a high punch output. We all know that Breazeale can take a punch to the face.....but to that flabby body? I think Whyte stops him after grinding him down with those horrific body shots.
I’ll take Breazeale. I don’t have confidence that Whyte can take his power, especially later in the fight.
I reckon Whyte but I can’t see it happening as Breazeale was catapulted up the rankings to fight Wilder.
I think Whyte is going to be stopped sooner or later. He's seeming more and more vulnerable having been rocked badly by the not so hard hitting Del Boy and nearly stopped by a concussed Parker.
