no fan wants to see mismatches where you already kno the winner

if we are meant to be concerned first and foremost with what a fighters earns with no regard for his health then go ahead and start a gofundme

If that was the case no one would be watching boxing since mismatches are what 90% make the sport up...lol

Are you seriously here defending this Shyte Fight? LMAO Some of the hate you guys have for Wilder has driven you completely mad. Wilder Derangement Syndrome in full effect..

Have you ever read the book the man who lost his head???...heres a link....

I browsed past this article a few times thinking Grant? Must just be some young domestic level kid hearn brought in for a tune up he has the same name as that guy from the 90's I watched vs lewis..So I finally click to read the article and it IS that Michael Grant hahhaa wtf! Hearns gone and pulled him out from a soup kitchen somewhere

Not a bad fight but I'm more interested in Tyson Fury's comeback fight that same night against Frank Bruno. Tough choices...

I heard they were talking to Chazz Witherspoon. Looks like they wanted a easy night either way.

no this is a bad fight. what i would like to see happen is the wbc remove stivernes mandatory for skipping a drug test and then i want stiverne vs whyte because i know for a FACT stiverne would starch whyte easy. every person wilder has defended his title against except for spzilka (due to what wilder did to him), would beat whyte.

Now lets get this straight, whyte couldnt knock out ian lewinson, couldnt knock out daivd allen, couldnt knock out chrisora, cancelled his fight against mariusz wach because he knew he would lose, had hearn throw wilder a lowball fight offer to make it seem like wilder was ducking him and have whytes name in headlines, only to fight a guy literally no one knew still boxed. michael grant is 3 years OLDER than wladmir and will be 4 years older than wlad after the 1st week of august. the guy has fought 3 times in the last 4 years..... he was knocked out in all 3 matches..... how do you go from trying to challenge for the most pretigeous title to fighting this guy????

whyte should fight the winner of gerald washington vs jarrell miller or he needs to stfu about getting a wbc title shot. ortiz is a top contender so he deserves a shot and even dominic breazele fought izu ugonoh who is a very tough guy and won by ko so hes more deserving than whyte.

so in 2017, we've seen the uk cherry pick a fight against washed up paulie malignaggi, old man klitscko, 44 year old michael grant, and theyre seriously trying to run back the fade with old man klitscko.

and the small sample size we've gotten of uk fighters facing real american competition, we saw gervonta davis beat the brakes off liam "walllshyyy" walsh in england, we saw errol spence jr make kelly brook take a knee in england, and although it was ruled a draw look at what badou jack did to james degales face. uk fighters are domestic hype jobs who beat up on the rest of the world but steer clear of american fighters because they know whats going to happen. shout out to billy joe saunders for ducking danny jacobs for willie monroe jr.

Whyte said he wants a tall HW. He needs a u.s name over here to fight just to get his name put there else where.

Not many options are available. Blame wilder bc he didn't want the fight. Mansaur is also a southpaw,that has no real bearing to him ,i think a lot of guys don't fight him bc he is a smaller southpaw, a tough one but top guys always try and get LIKE opponents who they will face.

Breazeale would be the best choice if we are going with any U.S name available.Not sure Hearn would risk it, with whytes first U.s appearance.Whyte called him out before not sure where that went? Whyte also stated he wanted to make a big splash,so splashing a 6'7 guy who lost 3 in a row on the canvas could be his plan?i

Anyway I think this fight should be called

lol! Grant is a tall opponent I guess. I didn't know he was looking for a specific type of opponent. Julius Long, Daniel Martz & Young Bung Whole or whatever that tall asian guy's name is could of been available too but Grant is a reognizable name so that does make sense. Although Rossy is
6'4 i believe. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm on my phone so can't confirm that but If it's 6'7 he is looking for it's slim pickings.

The scheduled fight ( whoever) is less than a month away..i dont know what ppl expect? He also has to sell the fight and that meaans an american is preferred.
