Comments Thread For: Hearn: Whyte Accepted WBC Eliminator, Let's See if Fury Does!

[Jkp]

Whyte has improved significantly and consistently since being KO'd by Joshua. I don't know why he's being so underrated. He's definitely in whatever group is just below Joshua/Fury/Wilder.

Brezeale is in that group too.
I agree brezeale is rubbish. Horribly static and slow. But Whyte is also slow static with horrible balance and awful boxing fundamentals. Would be entertaining 50 50 fight.

They are on almost all Eddie's cards. Obviously not headlining. But 1 or 2 more wins and these bums will be considered world beaters by the British fan boys. Just like what happened to ***** whyte.

No they won't. Price is just a filler because he's relatively entertaining to watch (almost guaranteed a brutal KO when he fights) and Allen gets put on a lot of cards because he's gathered somewhat of a cult following because he's generally seen as a nice guy that will happily fight anyone.

Nobody will ever see either of those as world beaters; but that doesn't mean that they don't have value for undercards of fights.

I would argue that Whyte's resume is better than Breazeale's. Plus he's definitely more entertaining to watch than Breazeale. I would give it 50 50 too though.

Price was hyped as being the next big thing until it turned out he has a chin made of breadcrumbs. Allen is just a game fighter who will headline for entertainment value, he's obviously not world class.

Whyte has yet to be exposed. Got to admit he's done all he can since losing to Joshua. And he's as good as if not slightly better than other ranked prospects from the US e.g. Jennings, Kownacki, Breazeale etc etc. He might fall, but there's no evidence of that so far.

Done all he can? He just ran away like a coward from AJ fight , twice in 2 months.

He's a serial offender at turning down final eliminators and world title fights.

He's been exposed constantly.
He almost died fighting chisora( 9 x losses). Looked awful and clueless against helenius who had 5 days training.
Almost died fighting parker who was concussed by a head butt the whole fight.
Went 12 rounds with novice Dave allen. Completely flattened by AJ. Took 7 rounds to beat bum Lucas Browne, who Dave Allen just walked through in 2 rounds

Fair point. But no sane person would ever see ***** whyte as a world beater either.

Fair enough. He got lucky against parker, and has run from rematch for good reason.

Agree he's entertaining. Just don't like people putting him in the way of bigger fights with AJ happening.

I'm personally not feeling the guy, he has no class... it had nothing to do with wilder either, I'm sorry it offended you.

I'm not offended. I think the guy talks himself up because he's eager for a fight with Wilder. I've heard a lot less classy words from others like Fat Baby Miller.
