    Puts on a show, hits hard and takes a good one, I'd say he could win a title in this post Wlad dominant abc scene.

    i like whyte, a solid uk heavyweight.
    his fighting style will never make him a long reigning world champ but im sure he will pick up a belt at some point.

    his fight with chisora was epic.

    I think he's a test for any current hw but lacks the power to cause any real damage at world level.

    Domestic talent.

    Only notable win is over a shot Chisora by a close margin. Chisora is, at best, a journeyman at this point.

    He needs to step up his game to be considered a real contender.

    Entertaining fighter.

    As far as level? "Fringe contender" is as far as I'd go if I had to slap a label on him right now. I don't think he's genuine world level at all.

    The Chisora fight showed both his fan friendliness and his limitations. Chisora's a gatekeeper these days, and many would argue Whyte didn't do enough to step through the gate.

    Hes top 10 for sure. Very good all around fighter with good ring IQ and is becoming very unorthodox with his angles,hes not at all easy to hit when he boxes. He didn't really box his last fight ,i don't know why?

    He has decent speed and power and has only been k.od once by the biggest puncher in the division. Physically he stands 6'4 250 and with that combined with gaining experience still he will most likely get a title shot at wilder,which will be Wilder's toughest fight . People have been writing off Whyte for some time but those are the ones who aren't actually watching his fights and studying him and looking down the road. it wouldnt shock me one bit if he out boxed Ortiz, but i dont think he defeats Joshua,hes just another level. i think hes about on par with Ortiz now a solid top 5 HW. I think hes as good as Parker in many areas who is top 5.

    The Joshua and Chisora fights were two of the most entertaining HW clashes so far this decade. He's only just stepped up to world level, beating up journeymen at developmental stage is never gonna be too riveting.

    Its possible he could do a Wilder and get a strap and then fight lower level opponents and retain it for a few years...But Wilder is a symptom of the US centric corruption of the WBC

    But most likely he will come up short the next title opportunity he gets- because the Chisora fight proved although he is busy enought to win decisions, he lacks the power and ring acumen (defensively under pressure especially) to get winning results against the elite world class fighters.

    Good chin good stamina decent power low boxing acumen, loose defence, very good aggression.
    He can take a good whack to give a good one back.

    Whyte is easily outboxed imp, but don't brawl him... If u don't have to.

    Past prime delboy rocked his world with big wild hooks, he took em but barely.

    Good mentality for a fighter. Hughie Lewis fury would have schooled him. Levels
