That being said Otto is on paper a hugely dangerous opponent sort of a high risk low reward kind of guy and Dillian is doing the brave thing by fighting him.

The first Chisora fight was close and could have gone either way but there can surely be no argument about the crushing knockout in the second fight even if Whyte had to come from behind (if you'll pardon the phrase).

There can be little doubt that Whyte has earned the respect of fans probably doing several times more to earn a title shot than most of those who got one. He has earned good money and he's a wealthy man but he's done that by fighting a succession of contenders and fringe contenders and entertained while beating them.

People sneer at Lucas Browne but before Dillian knocked him TF out he was unbeaten and had won a version of the world title in the champion's back yard. It was every bit as risky as the Wallin fight.

If Whyte were to flatten Wallin in one round, the Swede will be regarded as a joke and Whyte given little credit, but it doesn't change the fact that just as Browne was, Wallin is considered a very risky opponent before the fight.

I know you don"t like him much so fair play to you for giving him some credit.

I dunno who rated Browne. He has always been a pudding with a punch. Wallin can box at least.

I think most people regarded the Whyte v Browne fight as fifty/fifty...ish. Browne was extremely disappointing but Dillian wasn't to know he was going to be.

As I recall there wasn't any danger of Whyte getting trampled by heavyweights rushing to fight Browne. He wasn't any kind of stylist but he hit hard enough to knock out Chagaev and was considered as being dangerous.

While im in the minority and think whyte beats otto, its way way wayyyyy to big a risk right now. without this fight whyte could be mando for fury and fighting him in march... with this fight who the fornicate knows, i wouldent be gambling it. Apart from anything else it is an ungodly amount of pressure on whyte.

parker
povetkin
chisora x2
rivas
wallin
helenius
browne (i figure he counts since wilder has a guy like molina)

will anyone consider ranking him above wilder (back to back ko losses, soon to have 0 wins in the last 2 years) if he beats wallin clearly? or are whytes own blips too big. for a long time we've treated aj/wilder in their own little bubble with fury, in a seperate world from guys like whyte, but is that still the reality?

I think Whyte vs Wilder if he beats Walling would be a good matchup. Whyte wins, he arguably deserves a shot at Fury. Wilder probably has a long road back to getting a shot again though but taking out Whyte would show he's still a top 4 guy.

if so im guessing whyte goes straight to the mando shot at fury now, was always a risk fighting wallin when already mandatory for a much bigger fight
