    It would be a good fight to make but I think Wilder might have retired, I'm not sure he's going to fight again.

      This comment here is how I think Whyte is able to still command PPVs. He's built up this rep amongst the casual British ****tards of being this former roadman who boxers are afraid of. In reality, Whyte has walked away from numerous fights against the likes of Ortiz (twice) and Breazeale. You have to be a ****ing ****** to think the guy who fights the best fighter in the division is afraid of the guy who gets iced by a 41 year old shot fighter. The logic makes no sense at all.

He needs to tighten up every aspect of his game, but that’s never gong to happen. I’d expect Wilder to be able to keep him at range and land hard rights until one sends him down for good. It’d be a good comeback fight for Wilder if he’s even capable of coming back. I don’t see Whyte wanting the fight at all though if he can sit around and get a title shot after the two champs shake things out. Whyte could fight a bum in between. Plus I expect Wilders team to try and blast some bums too. There’s Andy Ruiz also, but I expect it makes too much sense for the fans for any of these guys to try and cancel each other out. They will all try and be that next opponent for whoever emerges between AJ and Fury. Who knows how long that could take.
        Agreed.

        You could tell from his attitude during the post fight interview that its not a fight he's keen on at all. He didn't mention Wilder at all despite the interviewer pushing for it and Eddie mentioning it (probably to prevent him from messing with his 2-fight unification plans).

          Wilder turned down multiple career high offers to fight Whyte. There had to be a reason for that.

            Why would he mention someone who has no belt and has refused to fight him multiple times in the past?

                    The irony is that Whyte will fight anybody except for his title eliminators.

                      I think people like to use the facts Wilder fought Fury as a way to pretend as if he didn’t duck Whyte. He ducked Whyte twice before the Fury fights. He took less money to fight others when he had a good offer on the table to fight Whyte. Not only do they try to deflect, they also try to bring up Ortiz name, you ask them what offers were made to Whyte to fight Ortiz and they would deflect that conversation again.
