					Lucas Browne looked like an old man on dodgy knees. Plotting around stiff legged while pawing and throwing half punches.  To be honest, I never saw the guy before as hes never been given any time over here and any curiosity raised for me was kind of snuffed out by the doping allegation. I don't think it really detracted from Whytes performance. There were a few times that Whyte was going to the well once too often with the same punches and looked a tad predictable  but that's because he had  the luxury of trying to telegraph a highlight KO because he browne who couldn't hurt him and was practically out on his feet lumbering after him creating opportunities. I don't think Whyte is an unstoppable force but he certainly showed he was paces above browne. 
Wilder wont fight him because he knows Whyte's smart enough to see the counter opportunities if he misses and quick/ aggressive enough to capitalize on them.  There's always a chance that Whyte misjudges the distance (as many have in the inside ring) and fail Wilders obvious 1,2 litmus test, drops like a sack of doorknobs and then spends the rest of his time in there snake bitten and on the retreat.  Whyte's not there but has the potential to become Wilders Kryptonite (an aggressive jabber with fresher legs and head movement, that will keep Wilder from planting his feet; while at the same time setting himself up to punch from the mid range where Wilder's leverage drops off.)
