Whyte has 10 hours left to sign the contract

Ever heard of proof reading?

 

He has every chance of beating both AJ and Usyk.. In the ring

Making the fights is the difficult part

 

He has zero chance of beating either. Both of them going to school Fury. Mark my comments.
If you like we can ban bet if any of this fights happen.

 

Duly marked.

 

Giving Fury a good fight is a better achievement than Whyte's had in his career. I don't think going life and death with Chisora (who couldn't lay a glove on Fury) or Parker is as impressive. And getting banjoed by AJ and a shot Povetkin is definitely less impressive. Wallin's 10-2 schooling of Breazeale would also be up there with Whyte's absolute best wins.

Whyte announced the Wallin fight because he thought "Fury had an off night and Wallin isn't a puncher, so it looks good if I can beat him better than Fury did and I can get some rounds in. It's also in the UK, so I will very likely win". Then the Usyk-AJ fight happened and Whyte sh*t his pants after seeing a smaller southpaw dominate the guy who destroyed him. Whyte said in the immediate aftermath of the fight "Usyk won but they'll give Joshua a SD". When AJ didn't get it, Whyte was astounded and realised that bigger southpaw Wallin had a great chance of beating him in Britain: "F*ck this. I've got my own sh*t to handle". Then he pulls out with 10 days to go, damaging his reputation and prolonging his inactivity, such was his lack of confidence.

Wallin being a PPV draw or not has nothing to do with his ability, neither is getting rounds in against a journeyman and cruising to a wide points win. There are many less known fighters who I believe would school or destroy Whyte. And what basis is there for *David Price* having a more than a slim puncher's chance against Wallin? His best career win is arguably Dave Allen and he's been stopped, often early and brutally, by every single European level fighter he's ever fought.

Cunningham beat Huck by stoppage in Germany, beat Wlod in Poland and beat G. Jones and lost close/controversial decisions to fellow cruiser champs on several occasions. He won a world title twice, while Whyte has not yet even fought for a world title. He was KO'd once in his career by Fury in a competitive fight, Whyte will have three KO losses if Fury destroys him. Stylistically he would be a nightmare for a plodder like Whyte, who has never fought a high level 6'3 cruiser mover in his entire career.

Whyte's top 9 opponents:

AJ: gets KO’d in 7

Parker: UD

Chisora 1: SD

Chisora 2: KO11

Rivas: UD

Povetkin 1: gets KO’d in 5

Wach: UD

Helenius: UD

Allen: UD

I don't blame Whyte for fighting at home as the A-side but there is no question that it's easier, that Whyte wouldn't have got the rub of the green against Parker or Chisora if the positions were reversed. This was not a green Whyte but Whyte near or in his prime, so we can't say "it was a close fight but Whyte is 21 with fewer than 10 full rounds under his belt, fighting a vet in his prime". These fights have shown his level and on an even playing field it's not much above Chisora/Parker, if at all.

Fighters can be past their prime but still near it, completely shot to bits or somewhere in between. Povetkin had a young man's style, was a small heavyweight who had taken massive punishment over his 3 decades in combat sports and was 41 years old, fighting in Hearn's garden. Whyte was a massive favourite with the bookies, given a 75+% chance to win. That version of Povetkin was well past his prime, bordering on shot and would have lost to several of Whyte's better opponents on most days but Whyte doesn't have a good chin and is very susceptible to uppercuts, so a badly hurt and well behind Povetkin was able to beat the odds and one-punch KO him. The Povetkin in the rematch was so shot he would have lost to a prime Dave Allen.
