Deserved one 2 years ago. The man has some ability and can punch, a reason why Fury and Wilder won't pick him. Joshua beat him but not without a rough moment.
I have Whyte number 3 behind Ruiz (beat the guy with 3 belts and the best resume and AJ who had the best resume). Whyte since his loss to AJ he has been on best winning streak in terms of quality of opposition. I don't think anyone in at any weight division is more deserving of title shot than Whyte.
