Why is Dillian Whyte so obsessed with Wilder? Why doesn’t he call out a world champion instead?

[Marchegiano]

I dunno, but, as a Wilder fan I'd be happy if I heard Wilder's fighting Whyte because I know Wilder's back in the win column after that.

Whyte, Ruiz, Usyk, Joyce, and Parker are all good come back fights for Wilder....'cause they're easy.

Fury and Joshua are tied up for the foreseeable future. Between those two, they have all the belts at HW.
Whyte is under Hearn, so Whyte knows what's up. He will not get AJ or Fury before they have their 2 fights.
He can ask Hearn, yes for Fury or AJ, but won't get them until maybe next year. Maybe. He can call those two out all he wants, for show. But he won't get any of them this year. Out of Wilder, Ortiz, Ruiz, Parker, Usyk, or Povetkin trilogy...a fight with Wilder is the most lucrative for him.

Wilder is still still the #2 rated HW. His lone loss was to HW's Ring champion. Top 3 HW's are Fury, AJ, and Wilder. No shame in calling out the next available top HW. Title or not.

Also, a fighter losing to the best doesn't mean he can't beat anyone, or should retire. Wilder may beat Whyte. It's actually a good fight. I believe it's high risk for both fighters. There's nothing wrong in Whyte calling out the next best available fighter listed in his division. It would be the #2 ranked fighter vs #3 ranked fighter.

Fury -Joshua fight twice likely

Usyk fights Joyce

Whyte -Wilder is the fight we all want see, they hate each other so much, they are sure in KO win, so this is a real fan friendly fight.

Whyte KNOWS wilder is a protected fraud coward who was built up by fraud, corruption, hired patsies and divers. Wilder is nothing and Whyte KNOWS this. wilder will never dare fight Whyte, but he has no excuses to duck now, he's cornered, totally cornered. There is no way out of fighting Whyte now for wilder, if he stays silent in hiding, he exposes himself for the coward he is.

I just figured he would want to be a world champion instead of fighting for a fourth place finish.

He was already given the shot to fight Joshua for three belts, and he declined. They rather just scream the same **** to their idiot fans.

Usyk and Ruiz are both really bad style matchups, but the rest Wilder beats.

A bum that believes he can beat Wilder. Let’s hope everyone else fight each other like the 70s hey...

I honestly believe that Whyte thinks Wilder is a easy fight, he was there when Wladimir stopped Wilder in sparring, and that fact that Wilder tried to use the WBC to freeze him out gives Whyte this sort of confidence.

Yeah Whyte saw the way to beat Wilder before Fury did. Back him up, give him no space for the right hand and lay it on him.

But I don't think he's that serious about giving Wilder that shot now, he just likes trolling him.

But Dillian is crazy and no doubt he would risk his title shot again by taking that fight for career high money if Deyonce or Al Haymon actually picked up the phone and tried to make it happen.

We aren't going to see Deyonce again unless he runs out of money. He's done.

Wlad later said he never stopped/KO'd Wilder like Whyte claimed, but only dropped him.


And regardless, Whyte is no Wlad Klitschko.
