Comments Thread For: Whyte: WBC 'Better F---ing Acknowledge' Me As Mandatory After I Win Povetkin Rematch

[vitali1999]

Highly unlikely they will. WBC has been a wilder fan from the beginning. This is why he's ranked 1 and only had to make 2 mandatory defenses in 5 years. Thats also why he was able to hold a belt for 5 years. BUMSQUAD !!!!!

Not sure why Americans hate Whyte so much? he's entertaining and has a much better resume than Wilder who they seem to like it's unusual. Whyte has the style to trouble fury who doesn't like it to the body. That doesn't mean he'll win Saturday the more hard fights you take the greater the chance you'll lose. He should have thought Pianetta and Swartz like Fury and you'd be hyping him still.

Tyson Fury doesn’t waste his breath on Whyte because Whyte is literally inconsequential. He already lost to Joshua and because Fury has a strap he’s after unification at this point. Whyte is nothing but a gnat on a windshield. Is he skilled? Sure. However he’s leagues below anyone of Fury’s stature. He’d manhandle Whyte; body shots or not.

Povetkin will KO this guy quicker than first one. Whyte will see nothing but white light hahaha!!!

But fury bothers with agit kabayel and tom swartz and pianetta? Sounds like bull**** to me fury has a dreadful result

I actually think Wilder would iron Whyte out inside 5 rounds, even now.

Even if Whyte wins, he's still only 1-1 with Sasha.

A decided would be needed before a mandatory position is dished out.

Who else can they make a mandatory? It would be nice to see them mandate Wilder v Whyte, winner faces the Fury/AJ winner. Need to get past Povetkin first, if POV wins then him v Wilder.

if he wins, he's mandatory again but has to wait for the title shot.
they can't 'mandate' wilder nothing...it's upto whyte if he takes on anyone it will be voluntary which means he can use a rematch clause.

He stayed long as an interim champ but not a lot as a mandatory challenger. He became mandatory only after beating Rivas. After about 6-8 months at best of his becoming mandatory, the virus closed everything. He is lucky to escape with the Rivas fight being declared a victory in Whyte's favor and not annulled or Whyte disqualified. In reality, Whyte became mandatory in December 2019 and everything closed in March.

2-3 months waiting is not a "****** long wait".

Semantics. An interim champion is as good as a mandatory nowadays. When Whyte was interim, Wilder didn't have any good reason not to fight Whyte. So what's the excuse?

The virus hasn't stopped the likes of Usyk pushing his Super Champion 'mandatory' position.

Povetkin is the mandatory by the rules he takes over the position. Whyte won his mandatory against Rivas ,that was officially a final elimination bout . The logic would be the winner is the mandatory because Whyte won it and then lost it ,then won it back .

This probably doesn’t even mean much because no one is getting near the WBC belt in 2021 .

Wrong again ol deemer. The fight was sanctioned as a vol for the interim title. Pov won the interim title, not mando.

there is no reason for the WBC to HAVE an interim champion when they have an active champion.

Of course. But if they do have an interim champion (whether we agree with it or not) then the only way to get rid of it is to have them fight the champion.
