Showboating vs journeymen, going there distance at area levle… honestly I can’t see a huge demand to sign him right now.

Re: Is Ben Whittaker jumping ship?
exactly, he's 27, fought no one, and just lost some rounds in an 8 rounder at area level. he has an olympic silver, but so did fred evans. is this really some special can't miss type of guy that the world's top would already have a bidding war over?gregregegg wrote: ↑03 Apr 2024, 03:58 Until he is fighting at least brittish levle I do not care.

Re: Is Ben Whittaker jumping ship?
I think he lacks elite power, but is a super skilled boxer imo. I do like that he praised Willings after in his interviews, and in the ring raising his hand. I would probably not be happy if he was bobbing me on head during the fights though.
