Comments Thread For: Whyte: Okay I've Had a Loss - But It's Not The End of The World For Me

[KingGilgamesh]

Same old story, loads of guys on here were claiming that Whyte is a killer who would spark Fury out with his big left hook.

Now Whyte is a bum and a cherry pick, isn't that right REDEEMER ?

For the record, I've always said Whyte is average at best.

LOL I literally said during the weigh in that Whyte was done. He's just...not good. Like, bad. The kind of bad that you're surprised he's been fighting as long as he has.

However, I think a lot of Whyte problems are mental and fixable. I really, really didnt like the fact that he didn't show up for the open workout. Whyte strikes me as the type who can only really "bring it" to people during press conferences or interviews. When he's had to face any of these opponents he often seems to crumble. I noticed this with both AJ and Fury. He kinda crumbled against both of them. By the mid points of the fight it was a foregone conclusion.

He has this weird mental block where I feel he doesn't genuinely believe he is capable. I mean, why would you prepare for Fury by gaining weight and building muscle in the gym? What ****ing purpose would this serve? Why not promote the biggest fight of your life? Whyte doesn't genuinely believe he is capable deep down. Its like he is afraid of success.

I'd like to see him fight Mike Tyson this year lol

Its not just about the loss, its all the **** he talked for years about deserving opportunities and how he was gonna make his mark once he got them. To then finally get his big chance that he apparently deserves so much, and then just **** the bed that bad is a terrible look and not something I think he'll ever really recover from.

He never wanted to fight Fury. He just wanted the money. That's why refused to help promote the fight because he was holding out for a 10M guarantee. The guy's a certified loser and a worthless bum who neither fights for legacy or glory just money.

Well again you’ve admitted Fury is not fighting top level opponents I’ll get you every time e you do it you also called Wilder a bum so he doesn’t count either .

Might be a bit of an exaggeration, there

No exaggeration.

No one else has screamed he deserves a title shot so loudly , then turned it down as blatantly. From his own promoter.

Then we talk about all his other blatant ducks... Pulev, Parker rematch, Ortiz, Wallin,

I was disappointed with his fight. And southpaw? Fury's length is almost an unassailable weapon against anybody less than 6ft 6 now he is sitting down better on punches and not just flicking. Whyte is still going to be a tricky proposition for 6ft 6 and below.

No, not the title shot bit of your comment, the bit where he's 'the biggest ducker' in HW history is an exaggeration, obviously, and some of those apparent ducks you mention are completely spurious.


What's more, the list of duckers in boxing is near endless. I mean, to name a few who have ducked at least 1 fight:

Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Whyte, Parker, every single person that Hrgovic could have fought in an IBF eliminator, Tank, Crawford, Adonis Stevenson, Canelo, Golovkin, Eubank Jr., Saunders, Khan, Floyd, Conor Benn...

How many have ducked a shot at 3 world titles, from there own promoter?

It’s a good question, but a better one is, why was it so bad for him to turn a title shot from that promoter, while everyone else that was offered one around that time by that same promoter was being ‘lowballed’, or something?

I’m sure I remember that discourse and that those characterisations about Hearn got dropped like a bad habit by this forum’s users when Whyte refused the title shot, probably because they don’t like Whyte, but either way the hypocrisy gave me whiplash.

It wasn't a low ball offer. It was a career high pay day that any normal boxer would of jumped at.

Whyte screamed about wanting the fight, then when contract unexpectedly fell in his lap, he ran for the hills, and went quiet as a mouse.

I doubt he really wanted the fury fight. He only followed through, extremely reluctantly, because he was backed into a corner and ran out excuses to duck it
