    Whyte always had a ceiling of British Level in any decent Heavyweight era.

    He was no better than Chisora and both found badly lacking when they got their World Title Fights.

    Couple of plodding sluggers.

    Whyte was mediocre at best in his Amazon Prime and certainly now a glorified journeyman along with Journeyman Chisora.

    Any up and coming boxer with ambitons above British Level will plant him.

    I don't think it matters what Whyte may do in and out of the ring.

    He was not even good enough to be the poster boy for Matchroom mediocrity over the past 10 years.

    Whyte would struggle to beat a shot to pieces Chisora, and people are contemplating whether he could beat Itauma. He'd be flattened, and he wouldn't take the fight anyway. It would hurt too much to be obliterated by a teenager.

    Mariusz Wach should ask Whyte for a rematch to avenge his narrow loss in 2019. Nothing in it then and probably even less now.

    Going on his last fight Wach would need to lose about 5 stone though.

    Moses looks like a fat cruiserweight to me.

    Id put him in with Babic next

    Then go for Whyte

    I’m sure he would wallop Babic mind you but another well known scalp would help.

    Whyte might just be too strong and experienced.

    I think you have to favour Whyte with Itaumas experience.

    Itauma gets hammered to pieces by any decent champ. Dubious would kill him, and I can’t see DDD getting past AJ

    The whole experience thing doesn't really come into it when there's an enormous gulf in talent, fitness, and freshness.
