And there is the problem, whyte with his ability should be nowhere near being at the top, it's a very poor heavyweight division

You can only fight who's available and to be fair a few of them do their best to duck each other even now..

Wilder is not great but was a world champion as was Ruiz and Parker..

Joshua won the IBF world championship belt by beating Charles Martin (who?)..

Whyte's near the top because the standard is poor, that's not his fault..

Measured against the heavyweights out there today, why shouldn't he be near the top, he's a half decent fighter..

He's not the poorest out there by a long chalk..

Like I said, Whyte's OK in my book, his fights are exciting, he can fight but he's susceptible to being knocked out himself..

Foreman, Frazier, Norton, Shavers, Holyfield and Tyson were all knocked out but we're all good to watch..

I'm not saying Whyte's in their class, far from it but at least he has a personality in what's an otherwise stale HW division..

I wouldn't begrudge him being world champion and I wouldn't think it would reflect badly on boxing if he did become a world champion..

I went to see Hatton a few times - once vs an Irish man at the arena called Maghee. Once in Vegas against a Mexican and then a boring fight at the Etihad. Has a great career. Best night of boxing I ever saw live was Calzaghe vs Lacey. Prefer watching on tv to be honest due to the amount of coke heads when watching it live.

I used to love watching live boxing, seen it all over the country at all levels from amateur schoolboys to world title arena shows. But as you say, I can’t be doing with the sheer volume of twats and idiots it attracts nowadays - packs of FLA types on bad lager and cheap beak, who inevitably kick off with an identikit ‘firm’ from another shithole satellite town. Or the plastic gangsters and their peroxide molls who spend the entire event parading up and down just in case someone in the back rows hasn’t seen them yet.

Agreed, my point being, I always seen the world heavy weight champion as the man, the apex of sport, that's my opinion, and to have whyte anywhere near that standard shows the level of the heavy weight at the moment, agree he should be up there for the level at the moment

I went to watch Hatton at the men the amount of cunts afterwards thinking they were boxers wanting to start fights with any and everyone was shameful

I slammed a few quid on Ruis for the rematch - imagine my disappointment when I found out that he hadn't laced a glove in preparation for the fight.

What should be looked into is how his purse was released considering he didn't even train for the fucking bout............

I like Dillian, he's a great fighter..

Such a shame he's not yet been given the opportunity to date to fight for the world title..

A 1000 days as the WBC mandatory challenger is a disgrace, this guy deserves his heavyweight world title shot..

He's never in a bad fight and he has fought some serious fighters..

His record is up there with anyone's in the division and I hope he gets his shot and doesn't get fucked over by Hearn..

Too dangerous for not enough money - the age old problem in boxing...........
 
Herring use if his reach advantage to fine affect. At least Frampton is starting to move a bit better and is taking more of the centre of the ring. Still, Herring could be 3 rounds up (after 3) unless the judges have been knobbled!

Bad cut for Herring in the 4th
