Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte vs. Jermaine Franklin in Play For United States Clash

I am not sure why people are complaining, Whyte should really just be ticking over now until his title fight.

Fighters should really be doing most of their work in the gym anyway, Whyte has had enough fights to know how to fight in a big fight.

There is no real need for him to face any top contenders in my opinion 'He has been there and done all of that already'.

He's on a 1 win, winning streak, against a sickly 40+ year old.

Whyte already turned down a guaranteed shot at 3 world titles. What the hell you think he's waiting for????.... your deluded

This is how god awful the HW division is! It’s THE WORST in over 50 years. Want perspective? This so called “top ranked contender” Whyte gets mopped up by the following non champion opponents from the 80s and 90s. Whyte wouldn’t even be a fart in the wind.

Tua
ibeabuchi
Dokes
Morrison
Ruddock
Brewster
Cooper
Moorer (champ not for long)
Mercer
Stewart
Bruno
Witherspoon
Douglas (not champ for long)
Byrd
Gonzales
Tillis
Tubbs
Golata

i could rattle off 10 more. HW division is a dumpster fire of garbage.

Anyone in top 10 beats Whyte. 40 year old Povetkin almost decapitated the hype job

Why in America though? I heard Hearn say that Whyte's next fight may be in the states, but what's the play here? Dude literally has no fanbase whatsoever here and he's not fighting an opponent with a name.

But if the fight is on a undercard, then that is okay...Though that is doubtful since Whyte has a sizable purse every fight.

Probably dumping Brits on us to get more UK subs
