    If Whyte loses the rematch in December...Is his career over?

    Is he done at the highest level or can he go back to the drawing board and make a successful return next year?

    Career being over altogether and being over on a championship level is two different things so no, I don't think his career would be over

      If he focuses more on training and less on talking maybe just maybe he can turn it all around

        If he loses, I can't see him ever getting a title shot. But I'm sure he can still make money.

          Not over, but his title chances almost gone. He could get through a couple of years fighting some domestic fights like Price, Dubois, Joyce, Chisora 3, as well as fights like Parker 2 would be options for him.

            I wouldn't say his career is over, but he will have found his level. He was expecting to roll over an old, shot Alexander Povetkin. If he can't do that, then where does he go? Maybe fight the likes of Daniel Dubois and Filip Hrgovic, he could make an entertaining gatekeeper.

              I think his chances for a WBC title shot goes way down but like nearly every other fighter does he might just go for the WBA, WBO, or IBF belt.

                He can still fight guys like Wilder, Ortiz and others.

                  Depends on how he loses, if he is sparked out again? It will take a lot for him to rebuild.

                  When Whyte loses, it always seems horrific 'He has been ****** out twice now, violently'.

                  It is not about the boxing fans, it is about how Whyte will rebuild himself after such defeats 'How he will cope personally'.

                    Another devastating KO loss could be mentally very tough to come back from.
