lol plus lost a war to amir khan..a clear loss at that lol
Not particularly aka no. Is Velez supposed to be a power puncher, or on Diaz's level?
He was a step up fight. No different level than Valdez opponents have been
Valdez vs Diaz is the young fight to see at 126, before Shakur Stevenson comes looking for them

I disagree on the first part, but I don't think that's a surprise to you. Agree on the second, although its gonna take a while for Young MakaveliHe was a step up fight. No different level than Valdez opponents have been

Shakur so far hasn't shown any real pop as a pro....they really need to let that kid mature physically first and not rush him into any big fights
Cause It is
They keep hyping up Whyte, but won't refer us to a signature win of his?
I hadn't ever heard of Whyte until he started stalking Joshua
Marriaga is prolly the best name on both their resumes.Why? I dont see any names on Valdez resume that's not the same tier as Velez

These goofy U.K. fans have convinced themselves that Dillion Whyte is some sort of rights of passage Wilder must complete in order to get a shot at Anthony Joshua
If Wilder vs Whyte never happens, ten years from now....nobody will give a shyt.
This isn't Lewis/Bowe.
Whyte is decent, but he's not setting the world on fire as being the next guy in line. Chisora was a start, but he needs a better win than that to advance. Just real talk.

Even though he's only had two fights (I think) the problems I saw w him weren't related to power. No fluidity, doesn't move his head etc. etc. all young fighter stuff. He will work it I'm sure. Conlan has similar issues, and Valdez/Diaz are still both working out some kinks.

Whyte stans still aint gave a reason why a dude who struggled with Chisora (and according to other UK fans it was a very controversial decision but Hearn has that type of pull over there to get the W for his fighter) & beat nobody who has ever been considered a good HW in his life, is worthy of Wilder paying Stiverne over 1 million dollars to step aside
Dont worry though, when Wilder beats Stiverne, Whyte moves up a spot.....or 2 (being that Ortiz is a 2x PED cheater) to mandatory
When we beat his ass, dont come doubling back talking about Whyte wasnt that good either since you want that fight so bad

Dillian Whyte is better than any name on Wilders resume.
And, Dillian Whytes resume >> Wilders
:MoneyMay: , Wilder-Whyte does more for Wilder than Wilder-Stiverne 2....
But we already know Wilder stans dont want Whyte.. probably because Whyte would outbox a guy that only has a right hand. You should be happy that the Ortiz fight is off because Ortiz would have made Wilder look silly
#Bumsquad
at Whyte landing one really nice check hook on Joshua (who still has quite a few issues) meaning he's anything above really good UK fighter/low level world fighter. I could see if Wilder fought him to start getting that UK stimulus, but no other reason.Now Brehzeale and Whyte would be a fun fight.
