[Oracle01]

The so called UK elite Hw's are passing around Whyte and Chisora like a couple of hookers. Pathetic.

Was it also perfect when Fury fought Whyte after having beaten him previously?
AJ already beat this guy and you are saying there is virtually no fighter AJ could fight instead of this guy?

There are so many fights to make. AJ wasn’t destroyed by Usyk. He just lost. This isn’t even a tune-up, it’s a joke of a fight!

Fury never fought Whyte previously...
You're thinking of Chisora

It will be interesting to see how these guys show up in this fight. So much has happened and they've gotten older. Is it still a grudge match? Or is Whyte still playing the setup man for hearn? Are these guys gonna be motivated? Whyte certainly should be.

You are right. Thank you for that correction.
My argument is still the same, the Chisora fight was pure horse manure AND even Whyte getting a shot at Fury was garbage.

I guess Hearn can sell this as a domestic rivalry, because this rematch doesn't make any sense. First fight was a convincing win for Joshua and both guys are on a downward path with significant losses.

Dillian Whyte is prepared to run it back with Anthony Joshua. Sky Sports has reported that the former title challenger has signed and returned the latest agreement for a planned August 12 rematch at The O2 in London. The development comes days after promoter Eddie Hearn removed a unilateral rematch clause favoring Joshua which previously discouraged Joshua from moving forward with the bout.

FUUUUUK!!!!!! I don’t get why everyone keeps giving Whyte fights after he LOOSES! Dummies will buy this fight. Win or loose I could care less about either guy. They’re both gate keepers as far as I’m concerned.

I wouldn't say Fury fighting Whyte was garbage considering people always claimed Fury was ducking Whyte and then there's the fact Whyte was Fury's mandatory.

Objectively Whyte was a decent fight.

How dare you compare a bum like Whyte to Zab Judah.

Whyte never accomplished crap.

Zab was the undisputed, lineal welterweight champion of the world and a 3X super lightweight world titlist.

True true but let’s be honest Judah got plenty of undeserved paydays. He just wouldn’t go away but I can’t blame him for grinding and getting payed

His only undeserved paydays were Malinaggi and Danny Garcia. The Khan fight was a unification so obviously he deserved that one. His previous losses were to Tszyu, Floyd, Baldomir, Cotto, and Clottey (TD, fight stopped on a head clash) and he beat Kaizer Mabuza and Lucas Matthysse after all those losses.

'Dillian Whyte came back and said [he’s] not willing to do any promotion around the fight. "

What an absolute buffoon Whyte is.

I am not really excited about this fight because we all know what the result would be.

Whyte not promoting the fight is his way of protesting that he's being paid less. My understanding is that the rematch clause wasn't the only issue. Whyte thinks they're proposing the August date in a smaller arena when people would be on holidays, etc. and Eddie is using this as an excuse that this is a smaller fight and paying Whyte less. Whyte thinks the clause that they can change the time/venue means Eddie would take it to Wembley Stadium to make it a big fight but not give Whyte his due share. He may demand Eddie for extra money for promotion like he did against Fury. I do not agree and one should be professional to do their part as expected once purses have been decided and you sign it.
