Which cruiserweights has Whyte struggled with???

Ivica Bacurin...

He won every round on my scorecard.

x2

I'd like to see him fight Chisora or David Price.

I just about picked three names. Just about!! To be honest, none of them names I can see Whyte clearly beat, whether it's via KO or decision.

I don't even see him beating a 47 year old Tarver!

He needs to fight European contenders, he needs to do what Parker is doing and just take the fights.

Arnold Gjergjaj < lets see if he can beat him
Mariusz Wach < known European boxer, would be a good name to have on his resume
Robert Helenius < beat Chisora, only loss came to Johann Duhaupas
David Price
Andrzej Wawrzyk
Christian Hammer
Carlos Takam

So the majority of you are saying he has zero chance to beat Eric Molina? Really? He certainly isn't a lock over any of them, but no chance? cmon.

I'd pick him to beat Eric Molina. That Arnold Gjergjaj guy mentioned in the above post looked very mediocre, I figure Whyte would beat him easily.

It's impossible to know until we see him fight more opponents in the #20-40 ballpark. If you're judging him based on 1 loss to a vastly superior fighter and several wins over vastly inferior fighters, then there is very little information at your disposal, and a ton of room for your imagination to run wild. Based on what we know, it's fair to say he's somewhere between #10 and #100. I think Whyte might be able to beat Charles Martin, Malik Scott, and very likely Eric Molina. In the poll, I'm only officially voting Molina. Charles Martin and Dillian White are both excessively unknown quantities at this point to really predict the outcome, other than to say that the odds should be close to 50/50.

This is a really weird poll, btw, because if you don't know how many people voted, then it's mostly just a representation of where we rank the fighters in the poll. Like, as of now, 46 people voted for Charles Martin. Is that 46 out of 50, or 46 out of 90, or 46 out of 130? Do 10% of people think Whyte would beat Martin, or do 100% of people think Whyte would beat Martin? The total votes also don't reflect how many voters there have been, it's just the sum of all of the boxes that have been checked.

Chisora completely beat Helenius, he just got robbed by a hometown decision.

Top 10 worst decisions in recent memory.

Whyte barely makes my top 30, and even that's questionable. He wouldn't be a big favourite against anyone in that list. He'd have no chance against Pulev, the rest would all be favourites except Martin, Hughie Fury and Glazkov. But those three would all be close fights.
