    Kabayel Whyte is a 50/50

    He has beat better opponents because he been given better opponents
    That doesn't automatically mean the fighter is better than one with lesser opposition

    I agree with you to an extent here mate. The issue I have with the Parker fight is that I always see it as a fight Parker lost more than Whyte won. Yeah the KD was bogus and without that the decision goes the other way but Parker let that fight slip. It should never have been that close. No way the rematch happens as I think Parker beats him quite decisively if they went again.

    I think the Rivas fight highlights the beginning of Whytes fairly vulnerable set of whiskers. I think the Povetkin punch is the beginning of the end personally. Whyte has heart but I don’t think he has the chin to really go at the top level now. Just my opinion.

    I remember this...Whyte calling out Haye right after he got chinned off Bellew.

    People can look at data or stats all they want, more often than not it's best to just judge using your eyes and by what you see.

    If you watch the Chisora against Kabayel and the Chisora that came in against Whyte..... two different fighters.

    If it happened in the context that Haye explained than fcuk Whyte. David had no business being in the ring for the second fight, which he is a conman for doing, but to actually call him out on his way to the dressing room is a cnut move.

    whyte has wgood power, hes big and strong, with a big heart. his skills arent that good, like delboy but less of a chin, but more firepower.

    Interesting...he doesn’t deny that it happened so we have to presume Haye is telling the truth on this one. Sounds like he’s still after this fight, it’s embarrassing.

    Funny thing is, David "Cripple Foot" Haye is actually a year or so younger than Alexander "Old Man Covid" Povetkin.

    I remember the interview, was very bizarre - haye was clearly broken and he goes “I’ll fight David aswell” no mention of Bellew who won.

    I’m not entirely sure I follow Whyte here. Seems to just lose his rag and throw out words. The facts are that he had no business calling Haye out after the 2nd Bellew fight. It’s poor form and says a lot about Whyte.

    I think for Whyte he needs to take the chip off his shoulder and take a bit more responsibility. Yes, he was the WBC mandatory for a good while but he turned down fights elsewhere and had the chance to fight AJ but wouldn’t due to the restrictions in his contract (restrictions he had no qualms in inserting in to Povetkins I bet)
