Whyte should retire

[Earl-Hickey]

Seriously, he's made 10 mil plus from PPV fraud, he had his title shot.

He's levels below Fury and Joshua and surely the PPV dayz are gone

If he continues on it'll be as this generations Chisora, and he might end up with CTE since he gets hurt so much.

[W1LL]

Joking aren't you? Whyte-Povetkin II from Hearn's back garden in December? The casuals will lap it up! Redemption! Maximum violence! Sweet Caroline galore m8!

[Kezzer]

**** up. Whyte and Povetkin are top end fighters , why would any boxing fan want him to retire - or Infact are any need for him?

Should wilder have retired?
Should AJ have retired?
Should Povetkin have already retired?
Infact pretty much everybody should have on this basis

[JakeTheBoxer]

No he shouldn`t retire because he lost to another top 10 guy.

But he certainly isn`t very smart man for refusing Joshua fight last year.

[peakbay]

Joshua lost not long ago. fury could have a KO on his record with a different ref in the first wilder fight. povetkin has been ko'd himself!! Why the f**k should he retire??

[baroidi]

KO'd by a 40yr old smh

[Mushroom]

Lol. He got caught by a big punch from a big puncher. He was doing pretty well before the stoppage. Why are boxing fans so hateful. This is one of then reasons I like MMA. More respect towards fighters in defeat

It's because Whyte has been begging for a title shot while refusing to actually take them.

Ordered to face Pulev in an eliminator, Whyte refused.
Ordered to face Ortiz in an eliminator, Whyte refused
Offered a chance to fight Breazeale to take his mandatory status, refused
Offered a chance to fight Joshua for the unified titles, refused
Busted for PEDs (again) against Rivas, used politics to wrangle his way out of it

Pulev is now getting his shot.
Ortiz got two shots.
Breazeale got his shot.
Ruiz took Whyte's shot and won.

Whyte could've had a shot at a title four or five times over by now but he didn't want it.

What he wanted was to be promoted to full champion from interim status without winning it in the ring, while the real top dogs of the division (Fury, Joshua, Wilder) are tied up fighting each other. He wanted to use politics to become heavyweight champion and Povetkin's left uppercut of cosmic justice derailed it.

[Rockybigblower]

I agree...why should he retire. In another thousand days he will get a shot at an elimintor for the WBC title.

[REDEEMER]

That’s what they said when AJ battered Povetkin. You guys have to be haters or Wilder / Fury protectors and diminish the WBC standings when you also know Povetkin was down twice . Ha
