Browne's last fight before Whyte was a 16-20 scrub.
Browne is terrible. Two old crusty old timers on his record, never fought anybody that was a threat.
Chagaev turned pro 19+ years ago and 45 year-old James Toney.
He still should've been working out and staying in shape when he served the 2 year ban!
The guy looked like a retired food addled Goldberg out there!
His corner also failed him, should've pulled him after round 2, he couldn't move out the way of them slow @ss punches that Whyte was throwin!
Could've just took his check and went home and still fight another day but now he has to retire!
Absolutely.. He really had no business fighting anyone considering the shape he was in. Fat, slow, poor conditioning it's stuff like t this that cause guys to get seriously hurt in this sport. His trainer should have known better, but they also understand Browne is a heavy hitter and is tough as nails so they wanted to give him an opportunity to win even if it was a danger to his health.
I don't respect the condition he was in but I recognize the toughness he showed
I don't like Whyte, but sure I'll agree the Browne win isn't something to make that much of a big deal about, however, the Helenius win was a pretty good one in my eyes.
Whyte did struggle with Helenius though, If Helenius could actually fight for 12 rounds I'm sure he could have easily beat Whyte by UD.
Wilder isn't no slick high IQ boxer, but he can definitely operate off the backfoot well against guys who have poor ring movement and guys that can't cut that ring off well, Wilder would smoke Whyte out quick.
If you start boxing at 30 and make it as far as he did you gotta respect that

He is who he is!
No need to degrade him, it's the promoters who hype him as a contender or top fifteen challenger who need to be blamed for the mis match.
Supposed to be a power right hand, the guy couldn't bust wind!!
He's just an old fighter looking to earn the promoter is the thief who takes money by misrepresenting this poor bastard to the paying public who are to stupid to stop buying over hyped fights!
I have no problem with Mr. Browne earning I do have a problem when paying customers are duped into thinking his 20+ 0 record means anything.
Buyer beware!

I have no problem with him earning, but look at the fallout here which is where I'm angling my laser. A lot of posters are validating and legitimizing Whyte after this win. As a consumer, I would rather see Wilder vs Joshua. No, I'm NOT a Wilder fan. Not even close.
My nan would of put up a better fight over a packet of biscuits.
Got me lol here.
Poor Browne, got absolutely shafted in Chechnya against Ruslan Chagaev by them commie cheating bastards and had to fulfill a shady suspension/ban for 2 years and immediately had to take the Dillian Whyte fight to make ends meet!
You can tell that layoff did him in but he still should've been actively staying in shape and working out regardless!
He was never a world class fighter but got lucky with that right hand against Chagaev and the Chechen's didn't appreciate that!
Showed up as butterbean 2.0 and made Dillian Whyte look like prime Dereck Chisora out there! Smh retire Browne
I like Browne, I give him all the credit in the world for making a go of boxing so late in his life and getting as far as he did.
If you start boxing at 30 and make it as far as he did you gotta respect that
When you start boxing at 30 and rely on certain drugs to remain lean and fit this happens. He beat a shot toney, and a well past it chagaev. Has good power but if your crazy slow it doesn't matter

True. Completely agree.
