    I can see this happening by the end of the year for the European title.

    How do yo see this going?

    Pulev has KOd Ustinov, Dimitrenko and beat Thompson easily directlly after he beat Price twice.

    Whytes best win is vs a 40 year old Minto :-(

    Whyte needs to get in a ring and beat somebody better than Minto.

    And that's not an easy task considering how many punches Minto landed on Whyte's chin.

    I think Whyte overperformed vs AJ as he's avarage fighter and most definitely loses vs any TOP-1o HW

    He could very well had over performed or joshua under performed. Whyte might be his kryptonite .

    Whyte, i feel will be the dog and if he is I'm laying down massive coin on him. Well, massive to me, nothing close to what the high rollers on here bet weekly

    I'm glad someone else understood that Whyte was getting smacked early on with the Minto fight....yet everyone seems to compare Parker going 7 rounds with Minto was poor.

    Minto didn't land anything significant on Parker.

    On topic, Whyte needs to ease himself back into contention. I think he will be a good gatekeeper, but needs to condition himself like a true professional. Working hard on his defense. Able to go more than 3 rounds without getting gassed.

    he needs to find more than just another game journeyman that will go a few rounds before falling over. The dude Kassi that HF is fighting is the sort of opponent that would be progress.
