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

[nuro]

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.

I could pull that to pieces but what's the point? You will never agree.

fury's win over wlad was under 5 years ago so it fits in your time frame. stop selling fury short.

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

Well said.

Why not do it again? What's not to like about both fighters hitting the deck, 3 knockdowns, and a textbook KO in just over 4 rounds? Thoroughly enjoyed it.

This. Sometimes, boxing fans do not understand a good thing.

They will get more eyes on the rematch now. Povetkin can certainly improve on his performance so it may be an even better fight.

If only Fury and Wilder were as confident.

They will now you know how it goes he is just like Khan when your chin goes everybody will fight him

[nubianpiye]

He lost I’m a big whyte but he lost fair and square great uppercut hopefully he can win the rematch but he lost that’s it. Boxing fans are **** tbh everyone loses at one stage or another. When Fury loses which he will it’s going to be that much sweeter to laugh at his fan boys

Yes because - facts. Just go to The Ring Heavweight rankings.

Let's just agree that Whyte's opponents are miles above Fury's and Wilders in general. And they are champions 5 years ahead of him in their careers. That's the problem - people hold Whyte to the highest standards and no one else. Whyte isn't even a champion

4 and a half years then and Fury got a 2 year drug ban for failing a drug test after that fight. So....

Even if you count it - it still makes only 2 top-10 opponents in 5 years. Maybe people need to stop criticising Whyte and actually look at the paper champions in this division and who they aren't fighting

Ok I'll bite,

Firstoff Whyte v Joshua was British level fight when both were still pretty green.

Rivas is about as much of a top 10 as Otto Wallin. Don't rate either fighter.

Right so Fury beat Wlad and Wilder who would beat anybody on Whytes CV.

Whyte went life and death with an older war torn Derek Chisora.

Fury schooled him Twice.

So really Whyte has Joseph Parker who is just another run of the mill top 5-20 heavyweight like the rest of them, they can all pretty much beat each other. Against Parker he needed a home town ref to help and was seconds away from been out of there.

No way is Whytes resume better than Furys.

Whyte just isn't all that good, he is extremely over hyped. He is decent but that's as far as it goes. He is a Chisora level fighter.
