I can't say that he seems particularly durable to me, he's been down in like 5 fights or something and stopped in both lossess? And for all Wilder's power not even DW has stopped any of his other title opponents that fast
He is a bit durable apart from the Wilder loss where he just got sparked, he got battered badly against Joshua for 7 rounds, the war he had with Izu and took his shots. Watch his fight with Negron he just takes a beating and hopes you gas out because he has a terrible defence. Obviously his style means his punch resistance is going to go (probably already has after this Wilder fight) but generally he just takes punches for free. So yes, i'd say he's durable you have to be with the way he fights.

Match him with Kownacki (both PBC). Both men's defence consists of taking shots to the noggin better than their opponent. Just two warriors clubbing each other in a last man standing affair. Entertaining for the fans, one of the two gets their career back on track, and Kownacki can get back to what he does best: fighting Wilder's ex-opponents.

I remember people being high on Breazeale after his Izu Ugonoh win
and mentioning him among the best heavyweights
They praised him just for lasting a while against Joshua
. I always knew he was awful, he's a poor fighter on the way down who's just looking for a payday, Whyte would destroy him in a few rounds.

Yeah Breazeale v Kownacki would make good sense and it'd be a great watch. Either against Whyte would also be a fun fight but I'd confidently expect Whyte to beat either of them.

I don't remember that.

To be fair I gave him credit for his toughness while getting a shellacking from Joshua. I actually thought of him as an American Duhaupas only bigger and possibly harder hitting. I thought he might give Wilder some trouble. Not one of my more accurate predictions as it turns out

He is tough. I don't recall you, or anyone else, calling him an elite heavyweight.

It's no surprise he wants a crack at Whyte.
Would probably get decent money for the fight and if he does win it gets him back in the picture.
The Whyte that turned up in Saudi was no great shakes.
A fully fit Whyte would win though I think, possibly by late stoppage

He's ppv in the UK, not that I agree he should be. I'd imagine it would be a decent payday for Breazeale who doesn't have an awful lot of options.

Whyte is PPV in the UK. I'm not totally convinced Whyte v Breazeale is PPV in the UK, not after his first round demolition by Wilder.
