Honest question, seeing that Parker and Whyte just fought a close and controversial fight, why do so many pick Whyte to smash a guy that would beat Parker? I don't really get it. For what it's worth I think Hunter can beat all three, Whyte and Parker the tough fights, especially Whyte in the UK.
Hunter could pull it off, he is elite and could possibly even defeat Joshua and Usyk. I have faith in him, heart to heart and all that.
I didn’t think it was close or contraversial, it was competitive but Dillian won. I didn’t say Dillian would smash him either bro I just wouldn’t pick right now against Dillian. I do think he has a shot against Whyte too, btw it’s a style thing, Parker doesn’t fight like Dillian and Hunter doesn’t fight like Parker etc.
I think Whyte would break him down tbh for a late tko, Parker MD beats Hunter, and as you said Chisora would get outworked as well
They all walk through Hunter imo, Hunter is a good fighter but he's no heavyweight and they will all be too big for him and this time won't be as static as a punching bag as Bakole was.
It didn't look like a controversial fight to me. I had Whyte comfortably beating Parker by 2 rounds. Styles make fights. Parker can't punch and is a very sloppy fighter, but is usually the faster fighter and often wins his fights on workrate alone. Against Hunter Parker won't have the higher workrate and for once would be the slower fighter. Parker is also very easy to counter, so I could see Hunter outpointing Parker, but just the same Hunter isn't exactly known for his stamina either, so he could also drop the decision. Whyte on the other hand has the timing and power to knock Hunter out. Hunter doesn't pace himself well and doesn't protect his chin when he fires off his combinations. The only way I see him outpointing Whyte is if Whyte comes in to heavy.
Like the other poster said, styles make fights, and Whyte is all wrong for Hunter. Whyte would make 213 pound Hunter cough up blood with his body shots... a cruiserweight can't take those shots easily given their frame. I guarantee if they fought.. Hunter is going down via body shot if he somehow survives a left hook (which I doubt) because parker went down and he has the hardest chin out here. Bakole ain't no whyte... Whyte will bang the eff out of Hunter
I would like to watch this fight anyway when Whyte loses rematch to AJ next year. Or Hunter vs Chisora in the undercard of AJ-Whyte
Dillian Whyte is becoming the stuff of myth on here. The world has gone ****ing mad. Take away the headbutt and I really think Parker takes him out between 7-10. All of this Whyte hype is due to Wilder being super weird about him despite almost certainly taking him out in brutal fashion in an actual fight. Yet another thing we can blame Deontay for.
Well there was no records or documentation or evidence or witnesses ever seeing Parker floored in a fight... and yet.......... So there is no myth, I'm not over-hyping whyte... he's body shots are legit.... if you actually watch his opponens face when he lands.. and the fact that he TKOd two of his last 8 opponents via body shot .... what other evidence do you need??? Hunter will be annihilated... no doubt in my mind. I'll concede AJ is a tough fight for Dillian, but I back dillian as he's improved a hell of a lot. He's been crazy active...and proved a lot of people wrong many times. He made Chisora and Parker look at their corners in dismay and defeat... I can give you the screenshots and the commentary to prove it... Dillian suprised his opponents and their trainers.
They look like 3 shopworn guys. I think Hunter could go 3-0, and I'm not even that impressed with him. Parker especially has REALLY slowed down.
hunter is getting a lot of praise for beating bakole i thought he looked slow and fat at heavy and very vunerable he knows what he is doing but he is unproven at the weight and the extra weight has slown him down. i am still wait and see but i dont see a fighter who beats parker /whyte dellboy needs someone to stand in front of him and not move to be competitive and is also a short heavy . i do not ever see hunter at heavy winning a belt or even being a top 7 fighter leave his head as a target as he did v bakole and he will get starched
