    Ortiz looked shot last time out and I favour Whyte to beat him quite handily.

    Pulev mandatory and he’s not gona give that up!

    Joyce is with Haymon and is mandatory for Charr so I think he will go down that WBA route.

    Could Michael Hunter be in with a shout? Had 2 good wins against Bakole and Ustinov. So I wouldn't begrudge him getting it. Good wins should move you up the ladder to land bigger fights. He'd be an underdog, but a live underdog IMO. He can box. I've been impressed with him everytime I've saw him fight. But he's probably not known enough to be on a PPV main event though. Wouldn't be the worst choice. I'd rather see Whyte vs Hunter than Charr. Obviously we'd all rather see Povetkin Ortiz or Pulev. But just trying to think of the other possibilities if it's not any of them.

    He could be Usyk's opponent for his 2nd Heavyweight fight - he is looking for a durable pudding and there would be his favourite PPV Pie

    Povetkin is a bad fight for him. Think he gets stopped if that happens.

    I agree with your opinion on Hunter, I rate him too. Hearn has confirmed Hunter and Hrgovic will fight in separate fights on the Usyk vs Takam undercard.

    Could struggle with Ortiz

    Can't see it being the Parker rematch because Parker lost a fight that was there for taking IMO.

    If I was advising Whyte I'd have taken the AJ fight. Probably could have got £7 mil - that's him set for life even though he likely gets sparked again

    I would take the Ortiz fight all day long, he's not the same boxer that he was a year ago, that Wilder defeat, and the time since, has taken it out of him I think, he hasn't looked very impressive in his fights since then. A win against Ortiz puts Whyte in a great position, the only concern, is Whyte actually that good? He was getting beaten by Chisora, despite the points deductions, and had to rely on a big punch to get the KO win. A fight against Ortiz would show us where Whyte is really at, whatever the case, Fury, Joshua and Wilder would beat him all day long, the latter too have too much punch power for him and Fury is far too good at boxing and using his size to his advantage. After that there's a few fat Americans that I fancy Whyte to beat, Breazeale, Miller and Kownacki are all classic fried chicken eating tubs of s**t, although Kownacki does appear to have something about him and could cause Whyte a lot of problems.

    Would love to see him in with Pulev. Not going to happen and I think Pulev would be able to out point him anyway but we can have Whyte trying to dish out some punishment on behalf of all the sisters out there. Got PPV written all over it.

    What a fascinating insight into your boxthing knowledge - do you hit water if you fall out a boat as well?
