    Also Fury beating a prime Chisora twice, a still reigning Wlad and Wilder at his peak twice is a lot better than anything Whyte has done. Wilder beating Ortiz twice, Stiverne twice (only once was it worth much though) and the assortment of Rivas and Helenius types like Duhaupas, Szpilka, Washington and Scott (all were ranked around top 20, even higher, at the time) is also better than Whyte. Stiverne and Ortiz were ranked #2 and #3 respectively in the ring rankings at the time Wilder first beat them, even though their rankings are shite, I would've had them around top 5 still.
    Fury beat Cunningham, Hammer, Wlad, Chisora and Wilder, all were top 10 heavyweights at the time they were beaten by him.
    Depth counts for little when Whyte has consistently gone for the weaker options in the top 10. At least Wilder and Fury got legitimate top 5 fighters in the ring and beat them in pretty one sided showings for the most part. The gap between the upper and lower half of the top 10 at heavyweight is quite evident.

    Whyte beat An older Chisora that had "Indian summer" career that even himself train and diet more disciplined and at with his best career wins against Takam:; Price Spzilka. The first fight whyte vs Chisora was one of the most entertaining fights of the year and in second Whyte did what many coulsnt and ko'ed him.

    Povetkin despite in decline has proven to still be one of the top and most dangerous HWs at present against Whyte and Hughie of late. There's not not many I would favour in the division over Povetkin .

    Rivas isn't too class, he similar and par with the likes of Chisora and Ortiz level. A solid win , Whyte deservedly beat him comfortably points despite the late scare.

    Helenius is what I would call a high Euro level fighter. I'd regard him to be much better anyone Fury resume with the exception Wlad, Chisora and Wilder. Whyte won every round in what was a poor fight as Helenius was in the defensive the entire fight.

    Whyte dersevedly beat Parker on point and it's a great win over another too fighter with a good resume (I agree with the judges and had Parkber beating Ruiz by 2 points in a good fight, I had him beat Takam 8-4 and I had Parker easily winning against Hughie in a horrible fight to watch). I would back Parker to win if they were to have a rematch though.

    Whyte does appear to chinny and also seems to gas in the final 2 rounds. That said, Whyte has the best left hook in the division after Povetkin, A very good jab, goes to body more effectively than any other HW at present and is physically very strong and can rough up opponents.

    Whyte wins over Parker is better than anything Fury has done aside from the Wlad win. If Whyte beat Povetkin that also be included.

    Whyte beat a better version of Chisora were himself stated that eats and trains a lot better than did previously and his performances in the ring back this up.

    Whyte beating Parker and Chisora is better than anything Wilder has ever done. The Ortiz and and Rivas wins are on par with each other both similar level.

    He's rated about right. Most people have him in the top 10, no one thinks he is the best.
