    If he comes in out of shape for this one, then I'll definitely say he is declining... but I see him coming into this one fit.

    Please, don't try to sell yourself as a superior intellect, or something, when you did not read/cannot understand what was said.

    I am talking about realities. He was busted once, almost busted twice, and will not be as good because he now has to be off the PEDS by necessity. What everyone else is doing is not the point.

    I’ll reserve judgement on Whyte. He was in bad shape against Wach but clearly wasn’t in a good frame of mind.

    Povetkin isn’t the fighter he was, Hunter beat him despite the scorecards. But he’s still a name, and it will be a fun fight.

    Say what you want against Whyte but he’s not just sitting on the shelf waiting for a mandatory like others seem to do.

    That's because he doesn't have any belts. How can you have a mandatory if you don't have any belts?

    Busted once for a simple mistake anyone could have done and many were doing all across sporting jndustry by taking an off the shelf pre workout that has since been removed from shelves

    then in the second instance it was for an entirely different substance called dianabol.. so what you are realy accusing Whyte of doing is being a chronic cheater regardless pf the substance as there is no track record to show he has been using the same stuff

    So why then would a cheater risk his position and grafting and ranking everytime he steps the ring whilst undergoing hundred of VaDA tests and paying out of his own pocket more money than dianabol costs?

    what you say has no logic in it at all you just WISH it was true that whyte cheats when the reality js he doesnt cheat because he gets tested randomly and has been teated so many times and passed that it rules out any notion he is a chronic cheater

    you chat Bs basically and VADA disagrees with you

    Even if Whyte was a cheater he wouldnt be to blame it would be thr industry for not workig hard enough to prevent it or having any decent testing protocol to stop it happening

    Seeing as Whyte gets tested by UKAD and VADA and passed 700 out of 701 tests its not his problem if the ped testing is so crap that it just fails 700 times

    A fighter like Whyte would think hmmm this industry aint serious about stopping PEDs it must mean they dont take it seriously enough?

    So which is it... Whyte beats two systems everytime?. Failing just one UkAD? Or are the tests themselves absolute bollocks?????

    Because he is a mandatory for a belt. Who did Ortiz/Breazeale best to be made mandatory

    Exactly!

    Fool me once, shame on thee; fool me twice, shame on me!

    I like Whyte, decent stand up funny guy, but that chin is going to get shattered.

    This is a nice neutral short overview

    I do like this guy's channel


    I see this as being an opportunity for whyte to look to bring active, add a name onto a heavily resume without facing anyone that will likely upset the applecart.

    Whyte stoppage in the 8th

    would have been a good fight 4 years ago. Now it will look like 2 old dogs squabbling over the food bowl

    min im comparing it. His accent is hard for me to understand sometimes. But 5 years ago I could understand him better and he didn’t slur

    Whyte came in heavier for rivas and was found to have dbol in his system.
    Go figure. Hope he loses but will probably win.

    Not sure why that was deleted

    Let's try that again:
    Whyte was cleared by UKAD in December 2019 (A-sample was ruled to have been contaminated). VADA also cleared him to fight Rivas. The only people who are still claiming he had dbol in his system need to let go of the Hauser article and his "source"

    I have removed my possible controversial statements about the WBC, mandatories, and similarities to Povetkin's WADA situation. Hopefully there is no reason to delete this reply.

    This is from UKAD official site regarding the case:

    • There is nothing in Mr Whyte's longitudinal urinary profile to suggest that he has used steroids.
    • The levels of the metabolites found in Mr Whyte's 20 June 2019 sample were extremely low.
    • Mr Whyte had provided a urine sample to VADA on 17 June 2019, i.e. 3 days before his 20 June 2019 sample, which was tested by a WADA-accredited laboratory and which returned a negative result, including for the metabolites in question.
    • Mr Whyte provided several other doping control samples to UKAD and VADA between 20 June and 20 July 2019 (i.e. the date of his fight with Oscar Rivas) – all of which also tested negative.
    • In light of the above points, the trace amounts of metabolites found in the 20 June 2019 sample are consistent with an isolated contamination event, and they are not suggestive of doping.
    Suck it up and move on.

    I don’t need to move on I’m not really a whyte fan and never will be. I don’t really care at all for him, never bought any of his ppvs and never will.
