A bit like an RJJ style but he seems too tall to pull that off. Also RJJ only had to hit you once all the way up to super middle to win the fight... But this man does seem to have some power too. Good video, thanks! With so few fights the skill and timing is amazing . look at AJ´s early fights or anyone really, they look a lot less composed than this man. Hope he´s got a chin too, at some point he´ll need it.
@arnoudhermes Roy Jones Jr's slips, steps, moves, etc were way more crisp and cleaner than this guy. RJJ didn't look crazy when he fought. I'm not saying this fighter isn't a decent fighter just saying whith him and Prince its almost comical where ass RJJ looked like a magician lol
Who will deliver it, though? The only person I can see is Bivol. Beterbiev is too old so will be gone by the time Whittaker gets to the top and the rest of the division is ass.
His boxing style is more of Emmanuel Augustus the drunken master THAN Prince Naseem. Either way he needs to step up in competition and prove himself eventually.
there have been plenty like this before yet they may have not been as good doing all that and show skill at the same time. I don't make much of it until I see him against real competition.
His style has made him famous, bringing in more views to his fights, growth, more fight bookings, sponsors, fans and money so you cant hate in his style as long as it is more beneficial to him...
There was someone who said ,by nature , by playing you learn way more efficient than just working and suffering. Playing like he probably does at the gym , working hard and playing is probably what got him so far. Also born good instincts and reflexes also play a part. I like this dude in my opinion . If the opponent can't take it , it's not his fault. It's a strategy , if not , then he is just having fun. He is a formidable foe.
His style is ADHD boxing. Can't sit still. Then comes a beast with lethal amounts of fundamental concentration, like Tyson or Barrera, that hunt you down and end your career because you were always the gazelle, never the lion. 👊👊😵💫
Doesn't matter who he's fought, this kid has something special. Very few are gifted with timing, fluid movement, speed, and power. At light heavy weight. (Oh MY).
If you box, you should know that your skill is relative to what the other boxer gives you in the ring. No offense to the guys here, but he just had some terrible fighters up front. You see a boxer in SERIOUS matches, put this clown in front of a REAL boxer, let's see what happens. With human handjobs, everyone is good.
I agree. I believe he can tighten his style up to suit the level of opponent. If he can still box off that movement with better fighters, he's gonna be a problem.
@@Norman_Petersonthat's true for basic fighters. The gifted ones do what they want in there. As the level of opposition increases let's see if his style changes any. That's what I'm looking for.
bro hes already got my respect ...womp womp if one day he get knocked out still ,,,,will just make a better fighter ....either way hes smashing it right now let man enjoy it
I KNEW someone would make this ridiculous comment. The dude TOTALLY disrespects his opponent during the entire fight, then raises the opponents hand at the end. That's not 'respect.' That's patronizing and condescending.
@@jimmy2745 dude that's his fighting style...that's how he gets into his groove...his rhythm. It's not his fault if his opponent can't disrupt his rhythm. They can go study how prince Naseem was beaten blue black and learn a thing or two.

A lot of boxers have got knocked out show boating All it takes is one moment of distraction for your opponent to get you. In this example the opponent had a chance at 11:40
When the "prince" fought a legit world class fighter, Barrera , his career was over. So...until this dude fights a top ten world class fighter, it's all hype.
Prince fought some decent opposition even before Barerra, but by the time he faced Barrera he had become ill disciplined and stopped training as much because his hands wouldn’t stop hurting. I still think Barrera would’ve won, but Prince was more proven than this Whitaker guy by that point
Nothing like old school box. A experiencied boxer will get him. Just look the Barrera- Prince Naseem fight. Is not the theatrics or skills, he need’s a true pro boxer to fall or raise in his carreer
Marco Antonio barrera already showed the world that this style does not work against high level boxers who are patient and rooted in the fundamentals Edit: He got exposed badly in his most recent fight
He has far better fundamentals than Naseem, this is straight forward, quick boxing. Naseem attacked from bizarre angles and body positions, there are some similarities in how they retreat from an engagement but the attack is very different.
@@nougat4416 Floyd and Barrera beat Irregular unsual boxers. They will time you with the jab or double or triple up the jab. They will find a way to breakdown that style. Counter or apply more pressure. Ben Whittaker is fighting cans. Its easy to look good against Tomatocans. Hence why he needs to step up in competition. He has talent and defensive skills but he isnt unstoppable.
@@nougat4416Ehhhh Naseem actually had very strong fundamentals built in, he was boxing since he was a pre-teen. His flashy style evolved from a solid fundamental core over the years.
@@OldManNutcakez Ermmm, no he didnt. If he had strong fundamentals he would have fought with strong fundamentals but he didnt. You can see him fight as a child, it was exactly the same. I followed his entire career fight by fight waiting for someone to knock him out, when you have strong fundamentals you fall back on strong fundamentals when the showboating stops being effective, he couldnt because he didnt know any other way
I remember Naseem. I remember how fast he looked until he stepped up in competition. I remember the night he got humbled and he quit soin after that This guy will meet the same fate.
I remember Raheem who humbled the man who u think humbled Nassem. Still Nassem at his 60s now can beat you in two seconds and probably send u to hospital
Barrera was arguably one of the best pound for pound fighters at time, its no shame Naz Hamed lost that one. This guy Whitaker will likely go the same way once he fights a top fighter
Fun to watch, but he'll need more power as he moves up. However, he is special as his defense can't be taught, it's natural to him. Looking forward to watching him fight better competition.
This guy isn't the new Prince Nasim. He's the new Ben Whittaker. Nasim could only wish he was as fast as this guy. He's got the skills to be at the top as soon as he gets in the ring with some more established fighters and displays his boxing skills. You can see some of them from time to time. Which makes me believe that he has the skills. I just hope that he goes to them fully as he gets more fights under his resume.
Damn! Against Graidia he must have hit him a bunch of times below the belt. I counted 5 in the clip. Refs need to take control, that’s more like WWE than boxing.
Lol true fighters and fans can see that the guy is special besides the showboating his defense,speed,and power is exceptional no matter who he fights not to mention he's fighting just a few months apart.. respect
For all those who say he's not foght anyone... but guys, did you see those skills he has? Those are some serious reflexes right there!!! And he's speed and reaction, combined with precision, results powerful knockouts!Those are amazing skills! In my opinion, he would dismantle any top 5 to 10 ranked! He definitely belongs to top 5!!! I only hope he stays in this shape! Than he will not have any problem.
This are easy fights for rookies to gain comfidence so, he is going to look espectacular and untochable! He fights low quality opposition just to built a record as well. After he fight a couple decent boxers then, we’ll talk how great he is or will be! Only time will tell!
Fury FOUGHT nobody (A black windmill x3 and a Klits pensioner) and look what happened to him last weekend when he came up against his first ever REAL fighter, he lost. Prince Naseem was the same and he got schooled also.
He's not fought anyone. There are levels to this game. Clowns are entertaining I don't know any who became world chapmpi😅ns. How many belts does he have again?
His reflexes and feel of distance is extraordinary. His cockyness is leveled by his respect after the fight. Of course this risky style will eventually take revenche. But he is very fun to watch fighting. Respect!!
Ben is not like Prince, he's not arrogant. He's an entertaining and very skillful boxer. A very likeable young man, and he will have loads of fans 👌👌👌👏👏👏👍
@@Frank-kj6fs The problem he has is that his skill levels are already high and showing off against lower level fighters does not translate to the top level. If he can do it at title level he will be impressive. It is just wait and see.
7:46 why is the referee itching to interrupt with the fight flow. Leave the guy to dance..it's not illegal! SMH. He can grap a pair of gloves if he thinks he can do better
Whittaker def has talent but let’s not overhype him dancing while beating up Universal Credit claimants and Big Issue sellers. The test will come when he steps up to Euro level and cuts out the cocky bs
THE SPORT NEEDS THIS!! ENTERTAINMENT AND SHOWBOATING WAS MISSED!! EVERYONE IS HATING ON THIS MANS TALENT AND ABILITY!! LETS NOT FORGET HE IS AN OLYMPIAN PICKING THESE CHUMPS APART LIKE GRAPES OFF A VINE WITH GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP!!! S/N: WILLINGS DAMN GOOD FIGHT!!
He needs to get going. He's already 26 and fights just under twice a year. He's going to need at least 8-10 more fights before fighting for a title. He looks like a great talent, but he needs more activity
Love and respect his fighting style, entertainment is a huge part of boxing and he delivers that. He'll definitely get knocked out in the future, like every other boxer so it won't because of his fighting style, it just happens in the ring and thats part of the risk of entering it. And I'd argue his fighting style reduces his chance of getting knocked out
I'm British and remember Prince Naseem before he became champion. It was great at first but then the British public grew tired of his arrogance and when he was soundley beaten by Barrera, the public was pretty happy. This lad has obvious incredible talent but the public won't warm to him like they do with humble fighters. He needs to drop the show boating because when he comes up against a top fella, they will make him look stupid.
Clearly a great boxer and makes boring boxing really enertaining. Good to break the trend 🥳 and actually use footwork AND evasion as a strength. Not just being a punching bag exchanging blows for brain damage. I like this style.
He acts like Prince and he moves like Prince.... But does he realize Prince was hated for his Showboating and arrogance in and out of the ring and even though he's skilled... it's lonely at the top with all of us watching him become a dancer ? His time will come and he'll be humbled then... This can be either a short journey or a long one buy right now anybody that fights him is the underdog and we all love pulling for the underdog.. Great video.. Thanks ! From SC..
Seems to be doing his own thing, with some Prince Nasim, Emmanuel Augustus capoeira and even a tinge of Roy Jones influence. Don’t know if can cook at a higher level, but it’s fun to see and appreciate the respect he shows after the fights
The only thing which killed Nassems career was a dint in his pride after not taking a Barrera seriously. Show boating doesn’t work when you got a champion who blitzed multiple world champions. Oscar dela Hoya I watch in golden gloves to rise through multiple weight divisions to champion 6 weights. He didn’t fair to well against Barrera either and he was one of my all time favourites.
.... Scared Shitless in the Changing Rooms And Delayed fight 2 Hours... Playing Every Dirty Cheating Trick to TRY Put "THE BABY FACED ASSASSIN" on His Back Foot.... HAAA HAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAA "AHMED" Was Spitting Dummies Out Left Right and Everywhere....
His hands were the problem,he had major issues due to years of hard punching and could not continue boxing.He was possibly one the hardest hitter ever in that weight class.
The fact he can play with the silly movement, and then get down to serious business. Demonstrates his level of superiority over his opponent. Someone on his level will be worth paying too see!
Totalmente de acuerdo, la mano izquierda que sale prácticamente desde la cintura, los ascendentes de derecha... Habrá que ver cuándo la categoría le quede chica y se tope con rivales más exigentes y de manos más pesadas
He figured out 99% of boxers just stand face forward and throw punches. This guy made his own style which no one can defend themselves against his punches coming from odd angles.
That stuff works until you meet someone that really wants to fight and studies your style then has a plan A,B and C.But fair play to anyone who steps inside a ring.
@@12tribes61Boxers have their own styles,As he gets older and he can't skip around He will have to fight,And like naseem,It worked until he was hunted throughout the fight and his antics had run its course.Whether like robots or not,A fighter with an excellent fight IQ and ring generalship this guy will be destroyed,Roy Jones,Prince naseem,lomechenko and that idiot that was humping the dude in the ring then got ko'd.
😎👍Well im a MMA person, woman & men fighting an regular boxing has been mundane but its tryin to return, as for Whitaker he will meet a match that will turn the tide 🤟🤨so enjoy an get those wins..

Exactly. On top of that he has good sportsmanship at the end of the fight.
I’m just afraid him might get a proper hook one day when he’s showboating
I was just thinking that if I was a boxer, I'd want to fight him because it seems fun and different.

Totally gobsmacked watching this.! His speed, elusiveness, cardio, is really something else..!!He puts Ali's showboating to shame..!!🤣
DRUNKEN MASTER GET IT RIGHT
Jackie Chan must be proud !😁😁
I love how he shows his opponent respect after beating them, just shows he's only showboating to entertain the crowd and it works
Entertain the crowd? Its not a circus. Theres nothing entertaining about gyrating your hips so as to disrespect your opponent. Unnecessary.
Damn! Against Graidia he must have hit him a bunch of times below the belt. I counted 5 in the clip. Refs need to take control, that’s more like WWE than boxing.
Lol true fighters and fans can see that the guy is special besides the showboating his defense,speed,and power is exceptional no matter who he fights not to mention he's fighting just a few months apart.. respect
One valuable asset this fighter has ? POWER ! This cat has Thomas Hearns power ! 😮😮
For all those who say he's not foght anyone... but guys, did you see those skills he has? Those are some serious reflexes right there!!! And he's speed and reaction, combined with precision, results powerful knockouts!Those are amazing skills! In my opinion, he would dismantle any top 5 to 10 ranked! He definitely belongs to top 5!!! I only hope he stays in this shape! Than he will not have any problem.
They all have "skills" until they meet someone better and get dismantled. Such low standards lmao
This are easy fights for rookies to gain comfidence so, he is going to look espectacular and untochable! He fights low quality opposition just to built a record as well. After he fight a couple decent boxers then, we’ll talk how great he is or will be! Only time will tell!
He’s fighting slower opponents who can’t box so he looks fast & impressive. Let him fight a true pro boxer. He’s fighting tomato cans.
Fury FOUGHT nobody (A black windmill x3 and a Klits pensioner) and look what happened to him last weekend when he came up against his first ever REAL fighter, he lost. Prince Naseem was the same and he got schooled also.
He's not fought anyone. There are levels to this game. Clowns are entertaining I don't know any who became world chapmpi😅ns. How many belts does he have again?
Nice to see some new up-and-coming talent in boxing.
Someday the showboating will catch up but until then I love watching this guy. Entertaining
His reflexes and feel of distance is extraordinary. His cockyness is leveled by his respect after the fight. Of course this risky style will eventually take revenche. But he is very fun to watch fighting. Respect!!
That up in the air chin will get tagged 🥊sooner or later when he steps up a level or 2
Only when he start to slow down,12 years from now.😊😊
When he steps up in levels, he'll get sparked out. Agreed.
Ben is not like Prince, he's not arrogant.
He's an entertaining and very skillful boxer.
A very likeable young man, and he will have loads of fans 👌👌👌👏👏👏👍
ALWAYS RESPECT YOUR PROFESSION,REMEMBER PRINCE NASSIM!
You blind, you deaf. You don't see how he lifting his opponents after the fight, you haven't heard his interviews. And everyone lost sometimes
Funny to see people trash talking him. Even if he didn’t beat big names, he’s clearly extremely talented and skilled.
He is not skilled, everyone he "fights" aren't fighting! Whatever.. lol
@@Frank-kj6fs
He is an Olympic silver medalist and clearly has the power for professional. He looks the part but his show boating is silly.
Ok art.. I'll give you that, but the ones he's fighting aren't fighting back. Idk, doesn't really matter, it's cool though.
@@Frank-kj6fs
The problem he has is that his skill levels are already high and showing off against lower level fighters does not translate to the top level. If he can do it at title level he will be impressive. It is just wait and see.
7:46 why is the referee itching to interrupt with the fight flow. Leave the guy to dance..it's not illegal! SMH. He can grap a pair of gloves if he thinks he can do better
Whittaker shows great respect for his opponents after the fight. The thing is he's very very fast in his movements and his hand speed.
Boxing needs this dude
I agree one hundred percent.
9:43 Emanuel Augustis activated 😮
Whittaker def has talent but let’s not overhype him dancing while beating up Universal Credit claimants and Big Issue sellers. The test will come when he steps up to Euro level and cuts out the cocky bs
THE SPORT NEEDS THIS!! ENTERTAINMENT AND SHOWBOATING WAS MISSED!! EVERYONE IS HATING ON THIS MANS TALENT AND ABILITY!! LETS NOT FORGET HE IS AN OLYMPIAN PICKING THESE CHUMPS APART LIKE GRAPES OFF A VINE WITH GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP!!!
S/N: WILLINGS DAMN GOOD FIGHT!!
He needs to get going. He's already 26 and fights just under twice a year. He's going to need at least 8-10 more fights before fighting for a title. He looks like a great talent, but he needs more activity
Looks like the great Emanuel agustis amazing .druvken style
I like how he also raises the hand of his opponent after the match 👏🏽
He's a boxer, an entertainer and a gentleman. No one can take that away from him.
You know they're going to try though
He's undeniable. He's got knocked out power, the speed, the defense. I like the showboating, I really do.
Inventory Whitaker always displays class 👍🏽❤️🔥💫
Would love to see him fight Bivol or Beterbiev.
End of him if Bivol got him,
Really he will not be able to dance if he fight with beterbiya
He hasn't really fought any body but I'm sure he knows when to turn his dancing on and off.
that elite guys, for prove something, he must clean home comrades like Richards & Yarde first?..
@@nobkare That works too.
I wont be surprised if someone ends his career like tat of prince nazim
Yeah but naz won belts/titles b4 he was stopped...hopefully Ben will watch those fights and refine His style
This guy comes from an ELITE amateur pedigree. Naz wasn’t as good of a boxer as this guy
@@MikeT-in1egwhat's this guy won?
@@ozz3272 Olympic silver medal
YOU RIGHT..He ain't even close to the DRUNKEN MASTER...But I give him an E FOR EFFORT...LOL....AND EFFECTIVE 🤧
Love and respect his fighting style, entertainment is a huge part of boxing and he delivers that. He'll definitely get knocked out in the future, like every other boxer so it won't because of his fighting style, it just happens in the ring and thats part of the risk of entering it. And I'd argue his fighting style reduces his chance of getting knocked out
I'm British and remember Prince Naseem before he became champion. It was great at first but then the British public grew tired of his arrogance and when he was soundley beaten by Barrera, the public was pretty happy.
This lad has obvious incredible talent but the public won't warm to him like they do with humble fighters. He needs to drop the show boating because when he comes up against a top fella, they will make him look stupid.
People gonna say he's cocky, but he also bring entertainment. Something different
like a circus...come on ! it,s a disgrace for the sport
@@rafaelmartinmeuldijk6030 the sport already for entertainment anyway. Its already a joke
Very exciting to watch, he’s the kind of boxer we’ve all been waiting for, he’ll put plenty of bums in seats and will be a world champion
Clearly a great boxer and makes boring boxing really enertaining. Good to break the trend 🥳 and actually use footwork AND evasion as a strength. Not just being a punching bag exchanging blows for brain damage. I like this style.
He acts like Prince and he moves like Prince.... But does he realize Prince was hated for his Showboating and arrogance in and out of the ring and even though he's skilled... it's lonely at the top with all of us watching him become a dancer ? His time will come and he'll be humbled then... This can be either a short journey or a long one buy right now anybody that fights him is the underdog and we all love pulling for the underdog.. Great video.. Thanks ! From SC..
Seems to be doing his own thing, with some Prince Nasim, Emmanuel Augustus capoeira and even a tinge of Roy Jones influence. Don’t know if can cook at a higher level, but it’s fun to see and appreciate the respect he shows after the fights
It’s stuff like this is why I love combat sports because even if this guy loses it’ll be spectacular and if not? What a ride.
100% rooting for his opponents.
all of them lost so......next :)
😂 cry me a river
The only thing which killed Nassems career was a dint in his pride after not taking a Barrera seriously. Show boating doesn’t work when you got a champion who blitzed multiple world champions. Oscar dela Hoya I watch in golden gloves to rise through multiple weight divisions to champion 6 weights. He didn’t fair to well against Barrera either and he was one of my all time favourites.
.... Scared Shitless in the Changing Rooms And Delayed fight 2 Hours... Playing Every Dirty Cheating Trick to TRY Put "THE BABY FACED ASSASSIN" on His Back Foot.... HAAA HAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAA "AHMED" Was Spitting Dummies Out Left Right and Everywhere....
His hands were the problem,he had major issues due to years of hard punching and could not continue boxing.He was possibly one the hardest hitter ever in that weight class.
The fact he can play with the silly movement, and then get down to serious business. Demonstrates his level of superiority over his opponent. Someone on his level will be worth paying too see!
He will come very unstuck when he faces a world class fighter, he’s heading for a major fall grace, seen it all before..
Something in his posture reminds me of Thomas ( The Hit man 😂😂 )
body type and height. i see it as well. Best Fight Hearns vs Hagler.
As a few have pointed out he has more than a touch of Thomas Hearns.
Totalmente de acuerdo, la mano izquierda que sale prácticamente desde la cintura, los ascendentes de derecha... Habrá que ver cuándo la categoría le quede chica y se tope con rivales más exigentes y de manos más pesadas
Yep 😊
His reaction time is out of this world.
He figured out 99% of boxers just stand face forward and throw punches. This guy made his own style which no one can defend themselves against his punches coming from odd angles.
Because he is getting hand picked opponents. If he fights a top fighter like this he gets chinned
He’s entertaining. I like watching him. It will be even more entertaining when he gets sparked out though. And that will happen, without a doubt.
0:26 - THE HECK WAS ALL THAT?! The last hit he wasn't even looking at him.
That stuff works until you meet someone that really wants to fight and studies your style then has a plan A,B and C.But fair play to anyone who steps inside a ring.
Ben always on the move. Most boxers are stuck what to do most boxers are like robots.
@@12tribes61Boxers have their own styles,As he gets older and he can't skip around He will have to fight,And like naseem,It worked until he was hunted throughout the fight and his antics had run its course.Whether like robots or not,A fighter with an excellent fight IQ and ring generalship this guy will be destroyed,Roy Jones,Prince naseem,lomechenko and that idiot that was humping the dude in the ring then got ko'd.
Wow, I didn’t knew this guy. Nice style. Thank you very much for these videos! 🫡💪🏻
27 years old and only 8 pro fights?
He hasn't even fought outside the UK.
What a clown.
He will be humbled
Haha 😂 when
😅😂
Take it easy mate...
❤ from South Africa
probably unpopular opinion but he is not showboating. its called SERIOUS PLAY and it gives you PEAK performance. Its science.
😎👍Well im a MMA person, woman & men fighting an regular boxing has been mundane but its tryin to return, as for Whitaker he will meet a match that will turn the tide 🤟🤨so enjoy an get those wins..
