'He's only got 8 pro fights , give him a minute.'
Hes also got an Olympic silver medal & I wouldn't mind so much if he shut his trap about how wonderful he is while humiliating his hired help & refusing to step up.

We were anticipating this guy crossing the pond to fight one of ours. The build up to Prince vs Kelly was epic and so was the fight. But that leads me to ask why is Whittaker hated so much over there wneh Prince did the same exact thing to inferior fighters? Just asking.
Some of the hatred of Whittaker might be because people felt conned by Hamed. Because they were - a little

Ok, let’s list everything wrong with Roberto Vazquez’s post.
1. Whittaker turned pro 2 years & 3 months ago. After 2 years and 1 month Naz had won the European title.
2. Even if it had been correct it makes no sense to compare someone who turned pro at 18 with hardly any amateur experience with someone who turned pro at 25 having won a silver medal
3. If you judge guys just on their records you really don’t know boxing. People like Buckley and Gargano acted as a sort of finishing school for young British fighters. Just look at the names on Buckley’s record! They emphatically didn’t come to lie down.
