Lol. If any of those fighters you mentioned fought him he would be the second best opponent any of them faced. Let’s not act like he’s Christian hammer or Travis Kaufman please.

Lol... yet he is so good he will not fight them? However he has no problem fighting lesser lower ranked fighters. Whatever bro.

[Fire4231]

Two top ten heavyweights in every cross belt ranking ring , boxrec.

If the PBC would like to do the same ... yes please.

Ruiz vs Ortiz will be good since they won't fight outside the PBC.

Cong**** if that is true. I would look it up but ring is not even credible anymore.

Dazn money must be working for these two fighters because there fight schedule is not.

Please tell me what Whyte or AJ have done in order to be ranked #1 and #2 in the world...

What are some of the better matchups for Whyte? Yes, Povetkin is old but Whyte definitely has one of the best resumes in the HW division. Who else should he fight since he's "ducking" folks?

Ortiz, Ruiz, Miller, Rivas Rematch, Breazeale would all be more interesting. Why does Dillian Whyte have to catch AJ’s hand me downs? What’s so great about his Resume? Parker and Chisora? He was given a drug aided gift against Rivas and he was knocked out cold by AJ?

Joshua, Wilder, and Fury are all tied up. Ortiz and Ruiz are on the other side of the street.

Lol...The other side of the street was open to the fight? Didn’t Hearn say any fight can be made with money? Why is it that the other side of the street keeps crossing it and Matchroom is not. How many times is Povetkin going to play the villain? He has become typecast.

If AJ can fight these top guys why doesn’t his assistant get the same great opportunities? So who else is out there? Big Baby?

Yep him too. But really what is so exciting about Povetkin vs Whyte? We don’t even know if Povetkin beats Chisora right now? No outrage about Povetkin age or anything. You guys just act much differently when it’s a PBC fighter.

Whyte has had some lucky wins.

It was only Parkers lack lack of killer instinct that saw him just survive.

Whytes due a loss. Povetkin usually turns up.

Parker’s should have lost to Takam and Ruiz and was out pointed by Hughie Fury but won on aggressive tactics.

Whyte improving still and Povetkin is still very much dangerous ,he should have got the Hunter win which was ruled a draw .

I think the Chisora fights are going to give Whyte the edge here , people forget that Chisora went to Russia to train with Povetkin in the second fight but I think Whyte will be better prepared for a guy coming at him this time using that bullish aggressive style .

I’m taking Whyte here he’s not so easily predictable as Povetkin and I don’t think Povetkin is as durable as Chisora even if he’s a better fighter ,style wise this should end sooner .

The ring was credible when Wilder was at number one prior to the Fury fight by the entire fan base on here, don’t say it wasn’t because they attacked me with that agenda angle as if it proved something . Ha

There top 10 in every cross belt ranking that including ESPN. As for AJ and Whyte they both have consistently fought the best.

Easy one of Whyte.

Ruiz Jr or Ortiz would have been better competition. Povetkin lacks in youth, reach, weight, size, and power as compared to Whyte...so, not much of a competition here. Skills, maybe but no use unless you can couple them with something else. Povetkin vs Whyte is 6'2" vs 6'4", 75" vs 78" reach, and 229lbs vs 254lbs. Whyte can easily outmuscle and mishandle Povetkin. Povetkin, at this stage, is more of a name than a competition. He ain't got the height and reach to stay on the outside and score easily, nor the youth and stamina to play a faster game like Hunter did against him. Inside trading favors Whyte.

I am sure there are many Povetkin fans here but I say it as I see it.

Eddie Hearns continuing to load Povetkins pockets with UK ppv loot, pre retirement, is nice of him

AJ has 3 of the belts and has beat more top 10 fighters than anyone else at HW you dolt unlike wilder who has beat ONE top 10 fighter.
