At best, fringe contender as previously stated. I'm not too convinced he'll beat Wach handily to be honest
Good fighter, would beat the weaker belt holders like Wilder and Parker but levels below AJ, Fury and Wlad.
Fringe contender is his peak IMO. Who knows, maybe he'll snag an upset over a world-level guy at some point, but I just don't think that's his level.
Parker beats him, Whyte has a big heart and is determined with a Decent Chin, it goes along way. His power is average, his boxing skills are low.
He's a Chisora level hw. Only by being at the right place at the right time he would be able to pick up a low hanging belt. Otherwise lower contender to gatekeeper status, I guess.
The Joshua fight was his golden performance. Watching his fights before that he was ok and after it he was ok. Doesnt look like a world title holder but he is good enough to get a shot at one. Would love for him to prove me wrong though and become a champ.
The guy just went life and death with an overweight, faded Chisora, who never won a world title. You really think a guy who can scrape by a gatekeeper can win a world title? What's so great about Whyte? He has decent power and decent jab, but that's it. He has lead feet, no head movement and is easy to hit. Wilder, Wlad, Joshua, Ortiz and possibly Parker would all knock him out. I think even Pulev who I don't rate could beat him. If Whyte wins a title it will be against someone terrible like the winner of Briggs/Oquendo.
