Comments Thread For: Parker's Promoter: Whyte Needs Rematch To Set Record Straight

[Kezzer]

Parker's in a similar position to Chisora regarding Whyte; both fights were close, but Whyte did win them both. They both need the re-match more than Whyte does.

Exactly. If Whyte fights again and wins he doesn’t really get any extra credit, so will come down to money/demand for it to happen, and I don’t see anyone calling for a Parker rematch yet - although agree in a year or two maybe ?

From Whyte’s perspective he should be aiming for wilder or Joshua and in the mean time anyone from:

Chisora (only for money/building up Joshua fight)
Brezeale
Ortiz
Takam
Miller

Nothing to prove both second tier

What he should do is give Hughie Fury a rematch

He doesn’t really. There was some controversy over the 12 rounds but Parker’s performance was so flat that you really can’t argue that he deserved to win the fight.

Honestly, I don't think he should even be considering Chisora unless absolutely everyone else is tied up. Outside of the belt holders at the moment he should only really be looking at Breazeale, Miller or Ortiz. Whyte included, all 4 of them are going to be fighting nothing bouts next (including Millers WBA "regular" bout to an extent) so any 2 of them could scrap their plans to fight each other. Pulev has only just fought and Povetkin will have some sort of medical suspension following his KO loss so they're out of the picture for a while. Anyone else and they are just going down in levels at least in reputation if not ability.

After his latest loss, Hughie will again be rebuilding himself. The best I see for him over the next couple of years is European title / fringe-world level against the likes of Kabayel, Kuzmin, Wallin, Dinu, Hrgovic, and Joyce. I can't see him fighting the bigger hitters among those, so Wallin is probably the best bet.

Maybe later in the future we could see the rematch but at the moment whyte has an unsettled fight with chisora which I personally interested in.

Maybe after that, he can fight big baby for the WBA regular belt to boost his financial standing with AJ showdown.

Whyte will be busy these very busy by 2019.

Many fely Chisora won their first fight, maybe HE wants the rematch to settle it once and for all.

It's a better matchup than a Parker rematch anyway

oh snap that's exactly what I came to say

I don't think there's any need to rush Whyte, his hearts in boxing and he's working so hard to improve. He's far more intelligent than my initial impression of him suggested, he just needs to layoff calling fighters out if he has no intention of actually fighting them ... but if the rumours are true that Chisora was playing hardball at the negotiating table, I can understand why Dillian called out Luis Ortiz instead.

Parker need a new promoter. This Higgins couldn't care less about his fighter.
