Hard to say given Whyte would still be one of the better boxers Wilder would have faced.

Yeah Whyte would probably be the best. Looking at Wilders record he's fought nobody really. I know the US isn't the greatest place for talent right now, but he's not even any of the top American based fighters and he's had 40 fights.

They're billing it as a world title fight. It's not even for a proper belt.

Why is the IBO not a proper belt?

GGG holds the super middleweight IBO belt

Anthony Joshua hold the IBO heavyweight world title

why is it suddenly not ap roper belt when eubanks jr holds one

The main organisations are the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO.

Those four main organisations agree on the rules, recognise each other's rankings and have rules for the unification of titles. Anything out with those four is a second rate title.

I could start the the International Meths Boxing Federation and make myself champion and it'd hold the same weight as an IBO belt.

I think Ward wins. I was impressed with him second time around against Kovalev.

So does N'Jikam simply because he's more active than Saunders and he needs to win to keep his career going. I'm not convinced Saunders is really that interested anymore.
