    He's been just below world champion level for a long time. You can't completely discredit that. People on here seen to think the levels go from World Champion straight to 'bum'.

    But, there's doubt he's on the wain now. Maybe if he had got the title shot a few years back we'd think of him differently but it's hard to say he underachieved given the financial success he's had compared to the ability he has. The guy's done very well.

      He's perfect for this shlt heap of a HW era.
      Wilder would annihilate Whyte.

        He makes the funniest facial expressions after he gets hit.

          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.
          Very well broken down. I wish we could get this type of |23tard proof analysis on more top fighters, lol.

            Please Hearn, cancel any plans for AJ vs. Whyte 2.

            This is a bullshit fight. We want Fury, Joyce, or Wilder.

                  But he fights a lot of people and sc****s wins out of it so he's gained a high ranking cos it it. Goes to show you need to fight everyone in the beginning to get yourself out there.
                  But he's lost a few so his ranking should drop, but he deserves around a top10 spot. There's prospects out there who'd likely beat him, IE flip, Zhang, Jared, but they need opportunities Whyte himself has got. DDD, joyce beatnhim

                    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.
                    He has taken on big fights mate, for his ability he has a really good resume win or lose.

                    You can make this very same post you have made, and put Tyson Fury's name there. Fury has only fought at elite level twice, and outside of that his resume is predominately against fighters at Domestic to High End European level fighters.

                    You cannot name many more Heavyweights with a better resume than Whyte, you cannot name 5 more currently active Heavyweights with a better resume than Whyte 'Win or lose etc'.

                    Whyte has faced some good fighters.

                    I don't rate Dillian Whyte as a World Level fighter in terms of ability, so taking that into consideration 'He has had a good career'.

                    Fighters at Whyte's level don't cherry pick. You are upset because, you are expecting too much from Whyte. Don't be upset mate.

                      Not very good despite being on PEDs for most of his career probably. Try to imagine his level had he been fighting clean this whole time...
