Comments Thread For: Whyte: No Regrets About Fighting Povetkin; I Will Handle Business In Rematch

[joe strong]

Whyte is delusional if he thinks Povetkin was ready to go. After the 4th rd Povetkin looked fine & alert. He wasn’t hurt by the first KD & he recovered well after the 2nd. Povetkin at 40 has lost a step but he is still an elite HW. I had Whyte as my #4 & Povetkin at #5. They just swapped places 8 I would like to see the rematch.

I hope the Russian wipes the floor with the Jafaken again. One thing I like about the Ruskin is he follows the folk religion of his Slavic ancestors. Got to respect a man like that, who derives his spiritual power from those who have come before him. It’s hard to keep a man like that down

Would have helped if he didnt fail so many ped tests in the past, hence why internet started callin him “pedvetkin” but he is a good fighter, those failed tests took away precious time in his career as well as big name fights that got cancelled as a result..too bad.

He's still the same him.🥊

If only Fury and Wilder were as confident.

They should have been it was common knowledge Chisora knocked him out in the gym. His trainer at the time started telling people

At least he isn't in hiding. It's not in his nature.

Boxing doesn't need trash fans like you who don't respect fighters for what they do and what they love.

You definitely DKSAB either since you think at 41 you can't fight at a high level, or that age trumps skill and intelligence.

A lot of these guys are casuals. They look at numbers his age doesn't stop his experience or his punching power.

Who cares if he wins rematch you touch him on the chin he is gone

Let’s be fair, Povetkin’s shot was a tad heavier than a touch on the chin.

He’s clearly vulnerable to uppercuts which opponents will now target relentlessly.

KO by Joshua uppercut
KD by Rivas uppercut
KO by Povetkin uppercut

He won't fight Parker again, so that kinda makes your statement BS!!!

Whyte got knocked the freak out and with a rematch clause thinks he can jump the queue and become mandatory again???

...yeah, nah

Back of the line bruv!!!

How does that make my statement BS? Whyte already beat Parker. Parker is ranked below Whyte and Whyte wants to fight the boxers ranked above him. If Parker was ranked higher he would have been fighting Whyte for the WBC interim belt.

Rematches are only really necessary when its for a championship belt. Otherwise you are wasting time. Wilder didn't rematch Ortiz for ages and when he did no one really wanted to see it. He should have been fighting AJ not Ortiz.

Top 10? Who? Browne? Chisora? Parker might just be a top 10 fighter? Oscar Rivas?!?! No chance.

Current top-10 fighters (pre Povetkin fight) fought

AJ - Whyte (3), Povetkin (7), Ruiz (6), Parker(8) = 4

Whyte : Rivas (10), Parker (8), AJ(2) , Povetkin (7) = 4 top-10 fighters

Wilder has fought Fury (1) and Ortiz(5) = 2 top-10 fighters

Fury has fought Wilder (4). = 1 top-20 fighter in 5 years. Coincidentally unbeaten.
