Whyte v Wilder, is it likely?

[soul_survivor]

not likely at all. Hearn signed up for one reason and one reason alone.

AJ v Whyte 2. 2017.

Hearn can't sell that after Wilder KO's him.

I doubt it. AJ v Wlad is the big one and if Whyte has gotten some names under his belt by then, there may be a rematch but as of this moment, AJ v Whyte 2 isn't a reasonable or even worthwhile fight for AJ.

I think so too. It was a great HW match and I had Chisora winning that fight.

Me too but Im not sure if Chisora can get motivated and be in the same sort of shape he was in that fight for a second time.

Wilder facing Whyte would be a step back, but that's no surprise considering that's what Wilder is known to do.

The Stiverne-Povetkin fight is tomorrow and if Povetkin wins (which I say happens), then Wilder would probably prefer to face Whyte.

Shoot, Parker said that he would like to fight Wilder and something tells me that it won't even come to fruition.

Whyte is better than all Wilder fought till now.

No he isn't. Stiverne, Duhaupas and Scott have as much of a claim to being Wilder's best opponent. That's assuming you think Whyte legitimately beat Chisora.

So how likely do you guys think this is? I just heard last nights bout was a WBC eliminator, had no idea when watching it. So, does Wilder take the fight or look for another journeyman?

Whyte is a journeyman....as is most of the division.

[MelanKomas]

Whyte won't take this fight unless it takes place in the UK.

Whyte would get like 100K-200K to fight in Bama or Vegas.

Whyte is ****..not sure how he is anything beyond a journeyman

[Larry the boss]

What is the hype with Whyte..he just went life and death with a past prime Chisora who has literally beaten no one worth a damn

He's not shiet but he certainly isn't impressive in any way. Very crude skills, low ring IQ and average power and speed. He's dumb as a bunch of rocks and that can help you overcome odds when the deck is stacked against you, but any decent fighter who can punch takes him out. That includes Joshua (obviously), Wlad, Ortiz, Parker, Wilder and probably Fury (retirement on stool likely).

Whyte is better than all Wilder fought till now.

Based on what?
