When Ali showboats against Terrell he is saying 'you thought you could beat me? This isn't even competitive'. When Whittaker showboats against his hired help it is like city bankers setting fire to £20 notes in front of waiters on minimum wage. It makes me feel sick. It wouldn't be difficult to match Whittaker competitively, after all, we have an absolute glut of British fighters at 175lb. Fight Shakan Pitters. You could sell out any venue in the W Midlands for that. If Whittaker gets past Shakan's long arms I would want him to beat 2 of Craig Richards, Lyndon Arthur or Dan Azeez. Beat those guys, showboat all you want, & I will retract my view that you're a complete see you next time.
    Except for when Lomachenko or Prince Naseem showboats the entire fight against inferior opponents then the British fans seem all to happy to cheer their wittle hearts out. But when Whittaker does it then there's a problem. I wonder why Mr Whittaker? I WONDER WHY??????????????

      If you can't understand the difference in quality between the men Prince Naseem showboated against & the men Ben Whittaker has showboated against then I can only assume your knowledge of boxing is restricted to knowing there is a ring where 2 men in shorts hit each other.

        I'm also baffled by your final comment "I wonder why Mr Whittaker? I WONDER WHY??????????????"

        I told you why I think Mr Whittaker is a complete see you next time. He is humiliating his own hired help. He is a narcissistic bully who won't step up & fight the big boys. My Christ, if he pulls that **** against Yarde or Buatsi he will bitterly regret it!

          Apologies, my last line should have read
          My Christ, in the highly unlikely event he will ever step up & fight them, if he pulls that **** against Yarde or Buatsi he will bitterly regret it!

            Augustas was never good enough to claim a silver at the Olympics. Whitaker has much more natural talent. That's clear to see. Even a blind person could.

              Naz is a minority like Whitaker. It has nothing to do with race. But for the record, Naz had half that didn't like it. And half who did.

              Naz looked good too. Whitaker doesn't. It looks silly. It has no style to it. Naz had all the style. I just don't want him picking up nasty habits that become too ingrained later on which will be taken advantage of. He needs to polish up his skills over this period to prepare him for the very best in future and keep his focus.

                DC is restricted in everyday life, not just his boxing "Knowledge".

                  The first time Hamed showboated to anywhere near the extent that Ben Whitaker just did was when he challenged for the European bantamweight title against Vincenzo Belcastro. The Italian champ was a seasoned pro who gave 115lb world champ Harold Grey a real scare. And Naz saved those theatrics for the last round after first displaying frightening speed, power and athleticism for the first eleven.

                    British fighters generally loved Ali’s flair, Leonard’s style and Sweet Pea’s wizardry. Many also saw past Hamed’s arrogance.

                    I wonder why? I WONDER WHY???????? But you just keep on making baseless racist allegations if you makes feel superior.

                      Don’t be baffled. He’s making allegations of racism.
                      Ben Whitaker’s showboating was no more worthy of praise than when Josh Kelly did it. I took pleasure when the ****y white guy had the smugness wiped off his face after mocking utterly nondescript opposition, and I’ll take equal pleasure if it ultimately happens to Ben Whitaker.
