Has anyone gotten so far on so little talent as Dillian Whyte.

    The thing with Chisora is he’s just not good enough at the higher level and falls short but usually makes a good account of himself, so he keeps getting good fights and more losses.

    But I wouldn’t say he lacks talent. he is a decent fringe world level pressure fighter.
    Chisora is a great pressure fighter. What killed him more was his inability to commit and his various issues outside the ring. Whyte actually seems more dedicated and yet still, at times, looks like an amateur.

      And when I say nobody outside of that I mean his second best win is probably a 40 odd yr old Brazilian MMA fighter he went the distance with.
      Whyte got the W against Parker (who isn’t any good tbh) but let’s face it, if that fight had gone on for another 20 seconds, he would’ve been stopped, dude was stumbling around the ring like a drunk.

      Howvever, he did get the W, so fair play.

        Helenius and Wach are complete garbage, as-is Browne.
        How can you claim they have done nothing but list bums like Wach?

        Tyson beat much better versions of Chisora in much better style.
        Whyte arguably got a gift decision in the first fight and was arguably losing the second until he landed a hail Mary.

        They were never any good let alone aged 40 God knows what when Whyte narrowly sc****d by them. Like seriously they probably was no better at that stage of their careers than a Kevin Johnson when Fury beat him.
        Nobody names guys like Johnson though but people seem to mention these guys for Whyte to talk up his resume.

        All 5 years past their best and have no notable wins vs prime opposition. They've all been beaten multiple times in much better fashion but nobody gives anyone else credit for beating them. Whyte seems to get a lot of praise for them though.
        Tyson Fury has better wins, and is most likely a better fighter than Dillian Whyte.

        But Whyte overall has a deeper resume, that is the situation.

        Derek Chisora was badly out of condition for the first Fury fight, and that fight was not a easy fight for Fury 'The second fight was maybe Fury's best ever performance'.

        I have mentioned this before 'Not many people have been able to fight Chisora head on'. Fighters either decide to out box him, or mess him about 'Very few fighters have had the physical strength or punching power to fight Chisora directly'.

        Only David Haye & Dillian Whyte have met Chisora head on 'Haye was in a tough fight until he sparked Chisora out, and Whyte was of course in two wars'.

        You cannot just dismiss fighters like Povetkin, forget his age 'The man can fight, and he was in great condition against Whyte'.

        If Whyte beats Povetkin, it is a really good win.

          Kownacki. At some point he was unbeaten top 10 guy. And all he does is moving forward and getting hard shots straight in the head. And he is small ( for a heavyweight division) fat guy.

            I'll agree with all that. I just can't get over this one punch he threw, against Haye or Klitschko, it was like open palm slap thing. And ever sense that I could not respect him as a boxer.

              Are you suggesting Whyte was doing the better work in the Povetkin fight prior to Povetkin flatlining him? If so, I didn't see that commentary were doing their best to sell that lie.

You do realize that just because you walk into a gym doesn't mean your actually start your boxing career. No, of course you dont you dumb **** because you're a keyboard warrior (like most AJ fans) whose never stepped near a ring in your life.

                Also not wasting my time arguing about counter offers. Hearn, being the weasel his is, proved himself as such. DAZN then took it out of his hands and made Wilder a 120m offer themselves. THAT's what Wilder turned down.

                Can't even ****ing spell, typical chav tosser.


                aww look i've dissed your big black girlfriend and you're getting depression over it. you're not a keyboard warrior? what are you a keyboard lover? in love with deontay wilder?

                you're caught lying yet again
                boxrec, his first fight was was 2006-03-31

                no, you won't waste your time arguing, so why did you?
                nothing more delusional than wilder fans. worse than even wilder.
                bet you watched him when he was on 90 day fiance aswell.
