Is Dillian Whyte's claim to fame still getting KO'd by Anthony Joshua?

[W1LL]

Or did he outdo himself with the Alexander Povetkin one punch KO?

That Povetkin punch WAS sweet.

I think it’s the Povetkin one now.

People gave him a pass for the Joshua one because he was raw and it was a British title fight at a much lower level.

Now he spent the last couple of years saying everyone is ducking him and he can’t get a title fight, despite turning down a fight with Joshua for a career high payday at Wembley, only to end up getting ironed out by Povetkin in Eddie’s back garden.

I think the setting made it even funnier because it was dead silence

If best known for being a self entitled, whining and cheating c*** was an option I’d have voted that.

I'll give him some credit, out of all the heavyweights below the top three he's probably got the best run of wins in between losing to Joshua and losing to Povetkin. Even now I think he has a claim to being the "best of the rest."

That said, I always felt like his arrival on the scene was really artificial and predicated solely upon him riding Joshua's coattails. Whoever really gave a damn about the result of some inconsequential amateur fight from before the London Olympics? Eddy needed an opponent for AJ and Whyte was the one that he ended basically manufacturing.
