Dillian Whyte ducking yet another fight.

[mromano]

It's a smart career move. Why risk getting starched and suffering a setback when you can fake an injury and still be the WBC mandatory. I don't condone it because it makes you look like a fraud, which I personally think he is. Nonetheless, smart career move.

[QUOTE=Toffee;n31141214]If you think Wallin would school him, why would you expect Whyte in the mandatory position to fight him?

Choosing to fight Tyson Fury isn't a duck.

Now we'll see what Fury does.]

I believe the injury but if he doesn’t reschedule it still looks like a duck. It makes the sport look like a joke and too many boxers want a shot without putting in the work. That would be like saying if Fury feigns injury so he doesn’t have to fight Whyte but then goes on to fight the winner of Usyk-Joshua then it isn’t ducking Whyte cuz it’s a higher ranked opponent right? You see where that logic is ****?

I don't call as many things a duck as most. Ducking is avoiding a fight when there's a compelling reason to have that fight.

It might be turning down big money against a stronger fighter to instead fight a weaker fighter for less money. Or dropping your belt to avoid facing someone.

It makes no sense for Whyte to fight Wallin.

Fury needs to fight his mandatory or drop his belt.

Very different situations. I'm an AJ fan but I was clear that if AJ had dropped the belt instead of fighting Usyk I'd have called it a duck.

I see it as a duck if you agree to fight somebody and sign a contract you be a man and fight that person not look for a way out for which i suspect is money just selling out a bit and I can’t respect that.

I don't like people finding ways out of contracts.

That doesn't make it a duck though. You can completely understand why he's done it?
