Comments Thread For: Whyte vs. Povetkin Set, May 2 At Manchester Arena

Lol...When has fighting someone after a loss been an issue for Whyte? He fought Malcolm Tann right after a KO loss to Sergey Kuzmin.

When you guys don’t want a fight you just start adding rules of promotion that don’t seem to apply to guys the were truly easy wins.

Ruiz and Ortiz would be great. Miller vs Whyte would be very interesting. How about running Rivas back, given the close nature of the fight and the failed drug testing? Breazeale would be a fun fight.

But why do we need to see the same villains square off at Matchroom. It’s like they fight AJ and just get handed down the line.

How about Ruiz -Ortiz fighting each other? Why not?

LOL at this PBC bud hurt fanboys claiming Ortiz is better than Povetkin.

Lol...Yet you keep quoting me. Not answering my question just quoting me in order to “not have a conversation.”

Not waisting my time either just know this is my ranking at Heavyweight. I can make a case for mine. How come you can’t make a case for yours?

1. Fury
2. Wilder
3. Joshua
4. Ruiz
5. Ortiz
6. Whyte

Joshua is 2 because despite both having a loss (wilder has two losses let's be real) AJ has far more quality and depth on his resume

Now here's the part where you overrate the **** out of Ortiz and try to discredit Klitschko, Parker, Povetkin and Ruiz 2 all of whom are more accomplished and better wins than Ortiz, who has never himself beaten ONE accomplished heavyweight.

Go ahead, I won't be listening to that NONSENSE

Olympic Gold Medallist, former WBA champion and one of the best heavyweight resumes of the past decade Vs PBC hype Ortiz who has no medal, no title and no good wins.

Can't wait till Ruiz jr ****s Ortiz up

[Fabes88]

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

You really doing this? He’s tried very hard to fight Ruiz and wilder. He wanted to fight Ortiz but Ortiz wanted to fight Whyte on a ****ty undercard

[Kezzer]

Really like this fight. Match room has a number of really good heavyweight fights coming up.

Personally I wish it wasn’t on ppv but nevertheless, depending on the undercard, I’ll consider paying for it.

[EnglishOxide]

This should be a really entertaining fight.

Dillian has the strength and power that Hunter and Hughie didn't have. I can see his punches having much more effect on Povetkin than Hunters did. Povetkin proved in the Hunter and Hughie fights that he's still a good 12 round fighter though.

Whyte needs to come in good shape as I think Povetkin has the skills to take the early rounds, meaning Whyte has to catch him with a sharp counter KO early or put some bodywork in to slow Povetkin down late, he may need to turn it into a dogfight and use his physicality late on to beat the fight out of Povetkin.

Very interesting fight, hard to see how it goes. Still got to respect Povetkins power too so Whyte can't be too reckless.

Watching the press conference right row; damn Povetkin has shrunk in size.

Now here's the part where you overrate the **** out of Ortiz and try to discredit Klitschko, Parker, Povetkin and Ruiz 2 all of whom are more accomplished and better wins than Ortiz, who has never himself beaten ONE accomplished heavyweight.

I do think Ortiz is a good boxer but you're right he is unproven and his best accomplishments were years ago. He is 40 now.

The sole reason people rate him so highly is because he was built-up before the first Wilder fight by the promoters into something he has never been

I like Whyte - he is always fighting top quality boxers. Another top-10 fighter for Whyte. Certain other boxers should be ashamed.

At the presser 6'4'' Whyte looked the same height as Povetkin 6'2''
