Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Tabs Alexander Povetkin as Preferred Foe For April

[Noelanthony]

I just think fighting fighting Wach and Povetkin in back-to-back fights, coming off the controversy with Rivas, is not a good look for Whyte. Not to mention turning down the offer to fight Joshua in a rematch! Definitely not a good look!

Whyte’s not all that to begin with. He has to do what he has to do

I've told you this before, but in case you forgot, Whyte vs. Miller in NYC is a good fight! Whyte just needs to go to Brooklyn, and sell the fight himself! He's Jamaican, and he can use that to his benefit in NY! We all know Big Baby would do his part!

The same people who called Ortiz an old man think this is a great fight.

If Whyte was a WBC champion with 3 top 10 opponents in 43 fights this wouldn’t be a good fight. The sad part is that if Wilder beat this version of Povetkin you could make the case that it would be his best win and that is a sad state of affairs for Mr One Name One face.

A great fight a proper 50/50 but fat baby doesn’t deserve it. He should not be rewarded with potentially being wbc mandatory

This is a good matchup for Whyte. Povetkin is on the back nine of his career so he is there for the taking. Povetkin was able to beat a younger fringe contender in Hughie Fury & then fought to a draw in a WBA eliminator against Michael Hunter. 5 years ago I think he dominates Hunter. I scored it a draw but it was close either way. Whyte doesn't get enough respect in my opinion. He has beaten some decent HWs & been involved in a lot of good fights. He is a twat waffle & has priced himself out of a few big fights but I think he is in the top 10. A win over Povetkin is a nice name for the resume & he is ripe for the taking at 40. Whyte is a big HW, he can punch, take a punch & has decent skills. Povetkin is my #4 HW behind the big 3. Whyte, Parker & Ortiz are close behind him.

both looked horrible in their last fights so why not

Yep......

If we went on looking horrible ,Ortiz wouldn’t have got his title shot after his Hammer fight . If there’s one guy not looking good steadily it’s Ortiz and we know it so why bring it up when both Whyte and Povetkin have had looked on point ,you think they look horrible because Hunter and AJ are actually top opposition ,you aren’t used to Ortiz fighting them ?

Ortiz should fight someone with a pulse without getting gift title fights. Don’t say it isn’t about Ortiz because he declined a Whyte fight on July 28th at the 02 ,if Whyte is so terrible ? My moneys on Whyte in fact Ortiz isn’t even in my top 10 . Maybe because he looks horrible ?

Whyte calls for povetkin? Why not Usyk? He's with Hearns and looking for a fight; winner gets Joshua?

We may potentially get Usyk vs. Parker for the WBO.

Can Michael Hunter get some love? Parker, Whyte, Usyk rematch?

Maybe Hunter vs. Rivas or Kabayel?
