Dillian Whyte is shot

[Zaryu]

he was like the uk version of wilder but cept he fought better opponents. wilder always looked terrible and it started out as a joke that he was good and like q-anon people started to actually believe the joke

I think Wilder is better and it would still show if they ever square off or if Wilder fights AJ.

I've said this for ages.

Whyte lost to Chisora and was losing the second until Eddie's ref started getting unfairly involved, gave away points and forced Del to open up looking for the KO.

Another 10 seconds in the Parker fight and he wouldve been stopped, he was stumbling around the ring like a drunk, and he got dropped and hurt by that midget stiff Rivas.

What has Whyte actually done other than KO a bum in Browne who was depressed and didn't even train for the fight.

I’ve been saying the same, and I’m glad someone else had him losing both Chisora fights. His biggest highlight is what he did to Lucas MF Browne and then Browne got in shape and lost even more one sidedly to Dave Allen

He was never that good to begin with. He was always an overrated hype job. The truth is he was never ready for a Deontay Wilder fight in the first place.

He was exposed by a 40 year old shot and washed up fight after he floored that 40 year old fighter twice. Now we see why he ducked Luis Ortiz.

He never defeated a mandatory challenger. Every fighter he ever defeated or lost to was handpicked.

So you give Povetkin no credit, you just say Whyte is hyped.

But I don`t believe Ortiz id better than Povetkin.

this site loves to overreact to anything that happens. If he had brutally finished Povetkin in the 5th, there'd be 10 threads on here about how Fury is going to vacate his belt to duck Whyte and avoid getting KO'd cuz Whyte is the HW boogeyman lmao

Hahaha ain't that the truth bro!

I think prime Povetkin is better than prime Ortiz, but I think old Povetkin is visibly fading in terms of punch resistance and hand speed. I think Ortiz is less faded, even though they're roughly the same age. Povetkin has been through more wars.

In 2014 I'd pick Povetkin all day, but in 2020 I'd pick Ortiz to beat him. It'd be a very high level, technical fight either way.

I agree. There does appear to be a deterioration in Povetkin's chin, reflexes, handspeed and balance. He is now a mere shell of his former self and yet Dillian still couldn't put him away after dropping him to the canvas two times.

Sasha is not the same fighter he was five or six years ago. Hell, he is not the same fighter he was two years ago and yet he still knocked out the much younger, faster, bigger and stronger Dillian Whyte.

Deontay Wilder wouldn't have never lost to this version of Povetkin which means only one thing. Whyte ain't shit, never was shit and never will be shit.

No, not at all. What I am saying is that there are levels to this.

While it's true that Dillian has defeated some very good fighters in his career but yet he is still a level below the Wilder's, Fury's and Joshua's of the world. He had everyone fooled that he was really that good but he never wasn't. He was all bark and no bite.

Let's face some facts. No one gave Povetkin much of a chance against Whyte. Everyone considered Sasha to be too old, shop worn and washed up; Which was the very reason why Dillian Whyte and Eddie Hearn cherrypicked him in the first place.

For example, Deontay Wilder wouldn't have never lost to this version of Povetkin at the current stage of his career. However, Whyte did. Which makes him more of a second tier fighter at best and a borderline gatekeeper at worst. His window is closing very soon.

Delay, delay, delay; He has spent more than 700 days as the WBC's number one contender because he refused to follow proper protocol and rejected an offer by AJ for the titles by pricing himself out.

He is his own worst enemy. Another loss or two and he will become gatekeeper status.

It is all good and well just brushing off this type of defeat. But when Whyte is alone, he must know that he was sparked clean out badly 'That was the type of knock-out that changes a fighter'.
