who wins?

Whyte by late stoppage.

Helenius looked absolutely awful last fight. By far the worst I've seen him look...

Do not start threads like this with hypothetical fights.

It's misleading.

It's misleading.

it's too far from reality.

Hearn has mentioned this potential fight amongst others, i'm interested to know who the boxrec public fancies if the fights do end up getting finalized.
Seems fair to me...

If the fight was made today, I'd say Dillian Whyte without a doubt.

Helenius is on more of a gradual comeback route after his KO loss to Johann Duhaupas and from the looks of who he is fighting right now it'll be a little while before he regains his form. Then it's either he scratches the surface of world level fights again or weather he stays at European level is anyone's guess right now.
Whyte on the other hand, since his loss to Joshua he's just gotten right back to business and not looked back. His fight with Chisora was easily a British fight of the year candidate if not more, so his stock is still high after that and after a successful stateside debut he is looking more impressive as time goes on.

Because you churn out these potential match ups at a frightening rate.
It's like you want to cover every potential match up because you're scared someone might nip in ahead of you and start a fight thread

Don't be daft.
I'm just trying to keep on top of potential upcoming fights and I'm genuinely interested in how people on here think they will play out.

To be honest, I think most of us are so used to fights not happening, we don't care to talk about them any more until they do.

Whyte should decision him straight forward

It would be a fantastic match, like Ali vs Frazier or Louis vs Charles. I can't wait...

I like a hypothetical thread sometimes but I have to agree it is misleading.

If the thread was called "WHO WOULD WIN..." or had the word hypothetical in the title somewhere there wouldn't be a problem as far as I'm concerned, but it is misleading otherwise - especially when it is such a makeable fight as this.

Think the fight is competitive - but Whyte either finds the punches to force a stoppage or gets a KD (or two) assisted close decision.

"I would still like to try to make that fight but we are running out of time," according to Hearn today...

Wouldn't mind seeing this but given the choice I'd rather Whyte fought Breazeale.

agreed but apparently Breazeale is out of the running.
Helenius would be a good fight for the Chisora angle...

Why's Breazeale outta the running? Thought he was due to fight Stiverne?

according to Hearn in an IFL interview today, Breazeale is out of the running for the 28th of October. Not enough time to prepare of something...

Strange if he was already preparing for a bout.

yep, I'm guessing he just didn't fancy it. Shame.
Hopefully the Helenius fight can get made and announced asap...
