Classy performance from Whyte.

I was well pleased for Whyte tonight. He's a grafter and is routinely avoided by the top tier because they know taking him on wouldn't be a formality. It's a travesty that he's been sidestepped for a title fight for so long and now I 'hope' there are no longer any excuses. This is boxing of course so who knows, but the man can do no more than he has.

To be fair I didn’t think he had done much to have been given his chance against AJ. Whytes problem is that he doesn’t bring an audience. He plays neIther the nice guy (AJ) or the showman (Fury) He’s now in line to fight for Wilders belt. Personally I think Wilder KOs him and Fury outboxes him. I would however say he has an even chance at beating AJ as AJ has regressed and Whyte probably improved. Separate note, fair play to Manny last night on becoming a world champ at 40! Very special fighter.

He said the guy just isn't that likeable. I can see where you're both coming from in a way, as he doesn't have a clearly defined niche within a sport where you do need to generate interest in your ascent. In the PPV age you need an angle or column inches and so far Whyte hasn't really had that. By rights he should get the Wilder fight now though as you say, so at least his has his big opportunity. Wilder, being a knock out merchant could well make fast work of it, assuming that he gets past old Father Time Luis Ortiz first! As for AJ, yes I think that could be a match up that'd go either way. I'm really not sure what's going on with him mentally right now. Whether Ruiz just exposed his weaknesses and was one to avoid, or AJ has been somewhat flattered by past results.

Agreed. In that division and at his age it's hard to overstate how impressive his achievement is.
