Comments Thread For: Whyte: I'm The Logical Fight For Joshua, He Has Nothing To Offer Fury

[chicken-]

Whyte is a pointless fight for AJ. He wins - as expected. He loses - he is set back at least a year and written off by the casuals. It's Lose/Lose.

AJ should fight Fury next. The money is there now. Fury needs to get his act together. He dodged Usyk - surely he can be brave enough to fight AJ now that he didn't look that good against Franklin? If not now, then when?? Fury and his fans say he will destroy AJ but still Fury keeps running. Time to put up.

AJ beating Whyte is not a foregone conclusion. Whyte is 100% correct here, it's the biggest money fight AJ would be the favorite to win, that's for sure. Fury didn't duck Usyk, and he certainly has no reason to duck AJ. Usyk fought AJ for less split than he's demanding now vs Fury, who's a bigger draw. I think everyone understands at this point that neither Fury or Usyk really wanted to fight in the UK for far less money than they would've got in Saudi.

Wow, what was that headline quoting him just before this one..

Not that interested in running that one back. What for?

Still want to see Joshua/Wilder, despite their respective trials and tribulations

Unfortunately the fight game is a business. If Fury v Chisora 3 can be made why not Joshua v Whyte! Would i watch. NO!!!

whyte is a 2bit moron

Whyte v Aj feels like Brooke Khan to me in the sense of a milk the casuals money grab. I guess the winner goes on for a title run, or avoids everyone with a pulse hoping to buy a cheap easy belt again.

Josh v fury is about what it offers us, not what Josh offers fury.
white seems to think just because there's beef between him and josh it's a fight public wants? But there's just as much beef between fury and josh

[deathofaclown]

I think Whyte v Josh is interesting enough but not at the expense of other more interesting fights like Josh v fury/wilder/joyce

I think AJ could do with another fight before fighting those guys. Whyte would be the logical one.

But this is where it gets difficult. Do you run the risk of having too many confidence builders, which would be more beneficial in the long run, but it's boxing and you might end up being chinned in one of then.

Or do you let a fighter short on confidence go back into the biggest fights because its good business?

But they're all mid 30s now, the reality is this era will be over in 3 or 4 years so I'd say he should just roll the dice.

I d say fight fury next if it's available, because if Josh loses to fury the white fight Is still there. If Josh loses to white, then the fury fight most likely isnt!
Why marinate a Josh v fury any longer when it shouldve happened years ago?

Lmao cmon man. Usyks own promoter has said they walked away because fury didn’t agree to a 70-30 rematch in usyks favour lol. Usyk “ducked” but not even really cause he’s waiting for December in saudi to maximize his earnings. No big deal not sure why they don’t just say that I get the impression fury riled them personally that’s why they act out with dumb shyt on Twitter. Why take 70-30 approx 20M in April when u can get 60M in December ? not really a duck by either. Fury will knock AJ out mate. I know he’s ur hero and u like his muscles but he’s not a top 5 HW anymore. The reality is he barely was to begin with. Soon as the ranks filled out AJ has fallen quickly losing to mid level guys like ruiz and usyk. Yes usyk is mid level he barely beat Bredis and barely recently beat chisora which was a widely contested decision.

xD No one is buying this fairy tale that it was Usyk who avoided the fight. It's fine to like Fury but why lie for him? He dodges big fights. Dodged AJ, Klitschko II, tried to dodge Wilder III and dodged Usyk. He has paper thin wins over Wallin and Wilder and a lucky draw against Wilder so it's understandable. When he gets beat his claim to fame is done. No need to lie tho.
