    It would bring a little credibility back to the WBA regular strap rather than having the likes of Charr and Browne as the champ.

    The same mugs who bought Whyte v Parker, Toe v Bellew twice - these people are so thick they will fork out whatever Eh Day asks.

    Manuel Charr is a complete waste of space

    Charr isn’t a top 20 heavyweight. You could make a case for Whyte and Parker to maybe have been two top 7 heavyweights going at it. You’ve had the sky pr machine behind Dillian the whole time and Parker had just had the full effects of it from the AJ fight. Both were fairy well known. Barely anyone knows Charr. I’ve got friends who watch boxing most weeks and I’m certain if I mentioned Charr to them they wouldn’t know who I was on about.

    Struggling to think of one under those specific circumstances. Which is insane really given that Helenius is trash and Browne was absolutely shot to pieces. Two good ones is enough to make this a difficult question to answer, deary me.

    Although to be fair, my knowledge of the contenders (in terms of being able to compare them to Parker or Chisora) going back further years isn't great. I would suggest making a thread in the classic section, see if anyone can answer

    It's insane really.. examples of some fighters runs before a world title shot

    Wilder:

    Gavern
    Scott
    Firtha


    Joshua:

    Whyte
    Cornish
    Johnson


    Povetkin: (Before Regular Title Shot)

    Firtha
    Oruh
    Mora


    Klitschko: (Before WBO shot against Byrd)

    Barrett
    Bostice
    Wolfgramm


    Vitali: (Before his shot against Lewis)

    Donald
    Bean
    Ross Purrity


    Lennox Lewis: (Bowe dropped the title and Lewis was handed the WBC belt after..)

    Mike Dixon
    Derek Williams
    Levi Billups


    Mike Tyson: (Before Berbick)

    Alonso Ratliff
    Jose Ribalta
    Marvis Frazier


    Holyfield: (Before Buster Douglas)

    Seamus McDonagh
    Alex Stewart
    Adilsom Rodrigues



    Come on, I believe Whytes little run of results is as good and more likely better than all of those yet the man can't get a genuine title shot.

    I say cobblers to a regular title, Whyte deserves a shot at either AJ or Wilder immediately.. I DEMAND IT hahahahahaha
