Dillian Whyte is not very good

[famicommander]

His career reflects that honestly.

Turns pro.
Fails a drug test.
Iced by AJ.
Life and death with Chisora.
Life and death with Parker.
Life and death with Chisora again.
Life and death with Rivas.
Fails another drugs test.
Iced by a shot Povetkin.
Defeats a covid ravaged shot Povetkin.
Iced by Fury.
Struggles with Franklin.

Even look at his accomplishments:
British title? Yes.
Commonwealth title? No.
European title? No.
World title? No.

Matchroom have used all the smoke and mirrors they could to try and convince people Whyte is a world class HW. He’s in reality quite average. It honestly amazes me that this man has headlined SEVEN PPV’s. That’s four more than Carl Froch did. Financially speaking, he’s possibly the biggest overachiever in British boxing history.

Don't forget that the only reason he got the W against Parker is because he was awarded a knockdown on a very clear headbutt. And Parker is a straight garbage fighter too. Looked like a club fighter against Leapai, Chisora, Fa, and Joyce. Didn't even try against Joshua, got handed a hometown decision against Ruiz.

And also remember how Whyte:
-ducked a title eliminator with Luis Ortiz
-ducked a title eliminator with Kubrat Pulev
-ducked a fight where Dominic Breazeale offered to put the mandatory shot he already had in his pocket on the line
-ducked a unified title shot with Anthony Joshua

He had a great career for a very average guy.

Has one the best left hooks and great body shots that’s not an average guy . You don’t become average beating guys he’s beat ,certainly by our standards a lot in the U.S a golden gloves champion means a lot . Franklin is a better boxer then Whyte let’s get that correct but he didn’t win this fight because Whyte outworked him and like Fury said Franklin could only win by a large volume of punches but he fought on cruise control .

There are levels in the sport, It is clearly obvious that Whyte is above domestic level.

But threads like this? Can only be made by people who have once believed that Whyte was Elite level.

Dillian Whyte has never been a elite level fighter 'This is not a crime'. He has been predominately a High End European level fighter - Low World level fighter.

Nobody can discredit Whyte's effort and gameness to take on big fights, and considering his ability he has had a good career.

If match-room want to make Whyte vs Joshua, than need to make that fight next. If Joshua's intention is to get back to elite level, then he should not be taking tune up fights before fighting Whyte 'Who I no longer rate as a World level fighter'.

Was he "game" when he turned down a unified WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight title fight against Anthony Joshua?
Was he "game" when he called out Luis Ortiz and then ducked a WBC heavyweight title eliminator against him?
Was he "game" when he called out Kubrat Pulev and then ducked an IBF heavyweight title eliminator against him?
Was he "game" when Dominic Breazeale, who earned his mandatory shot by winning an eliminator, offered to put that shot on the line and Whyte ducked him?

Whyte's career was a transparent attempt to win an interim belt and then have that belt elevated to a full title without beating a champion. That's why he ducked the title shot against Joshua and that's why he ducked three chances to become mandatory, only accepting one against Rivas where he popped for PEDs and changed gloves after the glove selection meeting when an interim title was on the line.

Whyte is the epitome of everything that is wrong with boxing. Cherry picking, multiple failed PED tests, ducking title shots, ducking eliminators, getting handed decisions against crap fighters like Parker and Franklin, etc.

I hope none of you just discovered today that he’s not good.

I hope none of you just discovered today that he’s not good.

Whyte is Tyson Furys third best win . Tysons next opponent Whyte completely knocked into next year but he came back . I’m not certain but I’d guess you go to bat for Fury ?

Let me remind the forum Whyte is Furys third best win .

[MikeyMike100]

I think he got koed too many times now to be competitive on highest level. May he can have few tune ups and final payday with aj

Think AJ is coming up next

Well, we had to deal with the Brits on here hyping him up for years. Thankful that's over with.

I've mentioned it sort of like this before. He has gotten decent wins in some tough fights which did warrant him a title shot but he has never appeared to me as someone who could best one of the major title holders.

He also seems to come in half prepared at times for some of the less recognized names.
