    To be fair good comment, think Whyte still has enough in the tank to win this one tho personally. Does look in better shape than he has for a while,did look over weight for a while. definitely has it all to lose if it does go south his chance's of a big fight are minimal at this stage of his career, which would be a shame, apart from the AG fight he's been waiting a long time

    Okay? Ruiz lost to Parker on points but stopped AJ, and Parker lost to AJ on points. Triangle theories tend not to work in combat sports. Both Tann and Arreola are bums. The difference between Whyte and Wilder here is that the former didn't build his career off of Uber drivers. Wilder didn't fight a single talented opponent until Ortiz, and still hasn't made the $100m he lost by ducking AJ.

    Fury got robbed and Ortiz's best win is still Jennings. Parker's a better win than Ortiz, and knocking Fury down twice doesn't mean much, when Fury was never known for having a great chin in the first place. He got dropped by bums and an old Cunningham, and came up off the couch to fight Wilder, who's arguably the hardest puncher in his division.

    Parker has a close loss to AJ and a close win over Ruiz, who moved on to stop AJ. Rivas nearly took Whyte out. Meanwhile, Breazeale was toyed with by AJ and obliterated by Wilder. Parker and Rivas would use him for target practice.

    Its truly remarkable that Eddie Hearn can say "Whyte will fight anyone anytime" and people will repeat it.

    Its not true in the slightest. He's ducked more risky fights than taken them.

    You have to respect Whyte- he has that gangster anytime anyplace mentality about him.

    He only turns down fights if they are trying to pull his pants down over pay. Otherwise he takes on anyone and doesnt look for the easy tick over fights like others.

    So he has winning resume of Rivas, Chisora x2, Parker, Helenius in 8 fights isnt impressive is it?

    That is 1 ex world champion in Parker. 1 ex world champion contender and European champion in Chisora. 1 ex European champion in Hellenius. Plus 1 undefeated highly ranked contender in Rivas.

    **** me, who do you think then has been fighting the best?

    Did Whyte not have an opportunity to fight Joshua a couple of years ago and declined?

    Parker was robbed.

    Chisora is mediocre.

    He was popped for steroids against Rivas

    Helenius is not an impressive win whatsoever

    The results of those 4 fights were much more nuanced than that

    You sound like hater a mate

    What evidence do you have for your claims shitting on his previous opponents. I didnt see anyone claiming Parker was robbed in that fight to be frank. Also Chisora clearly isnt mediocre, did you see what he did to Artur Szpilka? Anyone would have been proud of that. Absolutely viciuous.

    He ducked Joshua in one of the all time greatest quacks.

    Then there’s Ortiz, the Parker re-match, Pulev, all this fight anyone at anytime talk is embarrassing.
