Comments Thread For: Whyte Confirms Franklin Fight is Possible, Says Charles Martin is 'Useless Bum'

[Inspired]

Well the Heavyweight Division is not a Deep Division at all so yeah guys like Martin, Stiverne and Breazeale was given opportunities by Default

As for you Hating America...yeah Americans don't give a sh%t honestly! However, it sure does seem like Foreign Fighters Dream is to make it Big In America so we can't be all that bad lol

i mean the amount of corruption and bs in american boxing.

look at ufc, you know what it has? it has a global subculture that's one and the same wherever you go. built up from ground floor. it's an internet subculture.

Boxing has historically been an american subculture. thankfully the UK has come along nicely.
american boxing is just too divided. race baiters, xenophobia, promotional outfits, dodgy governing bodies, belt organisations, testing agencies and ppl with thir own vested interests within that.
That's because this particular boxing culture has been built up over 60 yrs and dominated by corruption from day one.



the HW division is actually quite decently stacked, granted things change and 5-6 yrs ago it wasnt so stacked. But brezeale wasnt long ago. stiverne should never have become a mandatory again.
brezeale got it with aj and wilder. that is a scandal. brezeale was getting battered around by amir mansour who was old...and only an injury gave brezeale the victory. that was before he became aj's mandatory. he should never have gotten the shot for wilder. by that point it should have been obvious that the guy is not at that level and not worthy.
martin is still highly ranked with the ibf (i think its the ibf anyway).

this is crap. However all of this exists because american boxing culture allowed it.

Franklin is terrible but let's be honest Whyte isnt rolling the dice after being smashed by an elderly man even if he redeemed himself

[Bronx2245]

After spending weeks ridiculing Ruiz for even fighting Arreola in the first place

Yeah, that part!

The problem here is a larger one for boxing in general. Anyone who has seen Franklin and Martin fight should be able to tell you that Martin is a more credible/dangerous opponent. The problem is Martin has two losses and one of those was the blowout by AJ.

Franklin is terrible but he's undefeated and the optics of that unblemished record look good, especially to casual fans.

Defense of Whyte at all costs is comedy. Never seen this kind of unshakable devotion to a mid tier HW

Totally understood what you're saying and I'm telling you the Corrupt Powers That Be in American Boxing Don't Care, they really don't care what Fans like you and me think, they do what makes them more money. Also again it can't be all that bad if Foreign fighters continue to run to America to fight for a lot of money so if the fighters aren't complain then

The Heavyweight Division is far from Stacked and it was even thinner when Vitali retired which is the only reason why Stivernie was able to become WBC Champion then Fury was stripped by the IBF allowing Charles Martin to fight Glazkov so it is all Politics and BS

Boxing Corruption is not just in America though! It is World Wide INCLUDING the UK whom many on here Think "UK GOOD, USA BAD" which is laughable

Who cares about Whyte other than the mis-matchroom morons. He turned down two eliminators for a title and a title shot against AJ and he and his snakey promoter had the nerve to talk about the injustice of not getting a title shot.

Actually, I think even the real Prince Charles would knock him out," Whyte told Sky Sports.

I'll give you 7 out of 10 for that trash talk, Dillian. You're not on Kambosos' level though.

[Hammer08]

I enjoy Dillion’s take on things. Aside from Joshua, probably the most grounded thinker in the heavyweight division, but comes with a better dis game.

Don’t forget he’s also very entertaining and a multi millionaire
