Buddy a good dude awesome fighter and has worked with them all, but it's Buddy way or the highway and then he'll go smoke a cigar, Thanks for the payday!

Whyte needs alot more than a tweak, he looked rank amateur against Fury.

I like this pairing, Buddy is a good trainer. I don't think it'll work out, but will be nice to see for a fight or two

Fighters who used their heads to block punches sometimes hire McGirt when they realize they can no longer take 2 to land one. They try to learn some defence. Lamon Brewster is one that comes to mind. McGirt is one trainer who truly does care about the fighter’s well-being & won’t hesitate to pull his fighter from a fight if he is taking a beating. Even if his fighter wants to continue…

Whyte was for me, a more effective fighter when he fought Joshua. His movement was better, his speed was greater, and he appeared more flexible 'You could tell he had come from another combat sport which demands flexibility'.

All these fighters mock Joshua and refer to him as a body builder, but Fury, Whyte and the rest are all training to be the big man. Seems to be their main tactic.

Whyte is a game fighter, great fighting attitude. But I was disappointed on how he went at Fury. Both inside the ring and definitely outside the ring.

Too matey matey.

I was ringside that night at the 02 , Whyte turned up out of shape , later saying he's had injuries during his training camp.He hurt Joshua in the second and I thought here we go another Bruno (I was there the night Bruno was stopped in the tenth by Smith at Wembley arena) but Joshua recovered well and Whyte was never in the fight from that point. Certainly didn't look 'flexible' as you say or fast , he was backing up from this point and he looked like a fighter who knew the writing was on the wall and shortly afterwards it was.

The flexibility you talk about doesn't help much from kick boxing which was Whyte's sport of choice , most can do the splits and high and backward kicks but when you spar them hit to the body ...but beware they train to land quick scoring single punches and are unorthodox in the way they throw which makes them unpredictable and often dangerous . I was on the circuit for ten years and one to note was a guy called Pele Reid who was just that but his lack of a solid chin unfortunately was his down fall.

Whyte looked in better condition for Joshua, than he was against Fury. And his movement was vividly superior to when he fought Fury.

He was undefeated, and in my opinion a better fighter back then. Since that fight he has been decked, in many tough fights and ****** out.

By the time he eventually got to Fury, he was burnt out. Even before the Fury fight, I theorized that would be the situation.

I don't think it would of made a major difference anyway, because Tyson Fury would of still beaten Dillian Whyte. Whyte would of performed better, but still lost to Fury.

Whyte is a good early career win for Joshua, nothing more. And it is a decent defense win for Tyson Fury.

Whyte was green when he fought Joshua and by his own account out of shape for the fight and that's what I saw.I thought Whyte was at his best a couple of years later maybe three when he beat Parker but to add to your point of being a 'better' fighter back then I'd say he was a more fiery fighter and he of course had the air of an unbeaten one.
I spoke with Buddy McGirt in New York outside the Roy Jones / Calzaghe weigh-in and what this great fighter and be it under rated fighter doesn't know about boxing isn't worth knowing , he can only be an asset to Dillian and will get out what ever is left.
