Yeah he would probably struggle against the top 3, size difference would probably be a lot considering he's not a huge puncher. Could be in some interesting fights though, would be curious to see him against someone like Parker.

If it wasn't for the fact I know she just throwing arm punches, I'd say she had a good round.

I’d pick him to beat Povetkin, Whyte Pulev and Kownacki

I can see it, not guaranteed by any means, but I can see it.
Doubt he'd beat Whyte, he hits too hard. If he catches him would do some serious damage. Povetkin is interesting, at this stage would have a chance of a points victory but Povetkin has power too. The last 2 possibly yeah.
Serrano is an all action fighter, entertaining to watch.

Whyte power is overstated to me he has 1 power punch and struggles with pressure fighters, he arguably lost to Chisora the first fight and was losing the second fight before the point deduction

Whew, now that that's over, let's get back to the sweet science.

Haney needs to keep his eye on the prize. At his age, his potential looks to be limitless 
I respect and understand why somebody could think Hunter could win. I actually rate Hunter, I think he's very good, he may not be able to beat the very elite at heavyweight but I do think he's talented. Would you say Hunter is a pressure fighter though? I'd say he's more of a boxer with movement and speed, he has a decent punch but not compared to a AJ or Wilder. I agree he lost the first fight vs Chisora, 2nd fight Chisora was winning too until the ref started fukking with him, was a very heavy knockout though, not easy to knock Chisora cold like that, I think it's the first time he's been knocked down in that manner, closest was Haye but he got up from that, Whyte really K.O'd him to the point where he couldn't get up at all for a while. Whyte does have that 1 punch but it's a killer 1 and very effective, if he catches any heavyweight with that it will hurt them. He's also pretty tough and improved as a boxer. I was impressed with his performance vs Rivas overall, dominated apart from that 1 mistake he made. He boxed Parker very well too, again apart from that mistake he made at the end. It's whether he can cut out those mistakes and improve, it's true that he's flawed but he's also improved and has positive attributes too. Vs Hunter I'd have to make Whyte favourite personally, just stylistically I think Whyte may be able to box that style, Usyk is different, would be a very interesting fight him vs Whyte. Lots of interesting fights to be made though.
