Comments Thread For: Wallin Wants Proof Of Whyte's Shoulder Injury From Whyte's Doctor, Independent Physician

[PBR Streetgang]

I've read alot of rationalizing in favor of Whyte's actions. I agree that boxing is a business and he should look for the fight that is most beneficial for his career. I understand he went from a high risk/low reward fight to potentially a high reward fight.

Not sure why he even signed for the fight in the first place. He stated in his post fight interview after Povetkin 2 that he wanted an easy fight. He should have stuck to that statement.

Additionally, as Whyte is entitled to do what's in his best financial interest so too is Wallin. I'm sure he spent a good deal for this camp. If wants to try and get proof of injury, he's allowed to seek it. Fury is a big opportunity for Whyte but Whyte was a big opportunity for Wallin.

Simple, right now he's not obligated to reschedule this fight. Not contractually, not by the orgs, not in any way.

I absolutely feel for Wallin, but in comparison to Whyte I don't think he's that hard done by. Whyte has been paying his dues and is absolutely due a title fight.

If Whyte fought Wallin and lost, you'd all call Whyte a fool.

How many eliminators has Whyte ducked? He even ducked AJ when offered a career high payday.

I mean, by the WBC rules he’s entitled to his shot, but let’s not act like he’s been hard done by either. He’s had plenty of other chances too.

Complain all you want. But if Fury and Whyte sign to fight each other, everyone will watch. That's a bigger fight with bigger names. I did not care about this fight that much to begin with. Personal opinion, but I say sign Fury-Whyte and let's just see what happens next.

Its a bit ****, but when they made this fight, the WBC didn't announce that Whyte would be mandatory. The situation changed.

So real or not, doesn't matter, he's taking the bigger fight.

In terms of evidence, it makes no difference. They have no obligation to fight regardless if fake or not. Of course they will choose to fight Fury instead.

This was never an eliminator.

My point is he doesn't deserve a title shot. He's one of the least deserving in the division. Both for ethical reasons, around cheating and peds, for constantly ducking eliminator fights and world title fights.

You can't just beat a 40 year old in your second attempt and expect a world title fight.

That's just a list of things that you don't like about him. None of it defines whether he should get a shot at the title. The interim title does.

Did Tyson Fury deserve a title shot? Andy Ruiz? Usyk?

I never said it was. Where did I say it was? Learn to read.

I’m talking about people saying he’s been waiting forever for opportunities when he’s turned down two eliminators in the past (Ortiz and Pulev) and a title shot for three belts for a career high pay day. Hardly a man starved of opportunities.

Ohhhh, you just wanted to moan about something irrelevant because you have nothing better to do. My bad, please continue.

Fury deserved his shot, he was mandatory for Wlad and never ducked fights or eliminators when presented. Wilder 1 was a voluntary but Fury had paid his dues by being the unified champ holding 3 belts in the past, never losing them in the ring.

Whyte has ducked 2 eliminators before and a world title shot v AJ. He might be mandatory but the WBC rules, so if he gets his shot then fair enough, but the fact he’s 1-1 against a 40 odd year old in his last two fights bring into question the WBC rankings and how it works. He might rightfully get his shot per the rules, but he’s still undeserving based on his ducking fights and turning down opportunities others wouldn’t.

Usyk and Ruiz don’t have a history of ducking eliminators and turning down title shots.

Not exactly irrelevant, it’s on topic.
