Comments Thread For: DiBella: Wilder vs. Whyte To Get Joshua is ******, Whyte Irrelevant!

[ShoulderRoll]

Why is Anthony Joshua ducking Wilder?

Is is because of VADA?

[Kiowhatta]

Considering Joshua fought and best Whyte back in December 2015, Joshua whether he has the right or not, is challenging Wilder to do what many fans are urging Wilder to do: test yourself against an even money opponent.

Yes, we all know Wilder suffered injury and is the victim of a vast conspiracy to deny him quality opponents through PED use, but he's had two years as champion to fight at least ONE top-five ranked opponent.

Why not Jarrel Miller? Hughie Fury? Andy Ruiz Jr?Anyone who's ranked in the top 10 at least, not 50 years old, out of shape and only interested in a payday.

To Whyte's opponents credit, Helenius, he has fought and beaten Lamon Brewster, Samuel Peter, Liahkovich, and Chisora.

How PATHETIC!!! trying to hide behind bum Dillian Whyte! I have never seen such a b*tch move by a so called HW champion in my life! has this ever been done in the HW division before? once again Deontay 'Bronze-Bomber' Wilder is proven to have all these boys SHOOK!

Klitshko is Ukrainian. 😂😂

I meant to say he fights out of Germany for the most part. :blow:

Who the **** is whyte why is he even being mentioned.

With the competition Wilder is fighting? Lol. Just keep fighting at that level. Not sure why someone like Wilder would duck a fighter like Whyte.

Its pretty simple. AJ and Wilder is a huge fight now but could be off-the-scale massive if it was built a little more. Wilder is not known much in th eUK and AJ is not much known in the States.
As the fight makes more sense in the UK then it also makes more sense if Wilder gets more known in the UK.
Whyte would be a fighter in common then. Surely Di Bella knows that - but he probably doesn't - sounds like he has his nose out of joint because Hearn is stepping into his 'territory'.
If he doesn't want to fight Whyte then set up the Parker unification then both go into the unification with two belts - but quick before Hearn sets up AJ - Parker.

Parker won't go for Wilder, there's no money in that fight and he'll probably lose it

Would be nice to see Wilder fight Joshua today but boxing is a business and showbusiness so the fun and games are all part of it, definitely needs to happen in 2018! , Definitely a 50/50 fight so the purse should be same minus a few XXX

I'd have Wilder favorite over Parker but you're right that there's no money in it. Which just illustrates the problem - Wilder is just an attraction in the US and not much more. This is the same as Crawford being an attraction in Nebraska but not much more. Same as all these 154 fighters - they are attractions amongst boxing fans but nothing more. It speaks volumes about th estate of boxing in the US.

AJ can fight Parker in the UK and it will be another 90,000 sell out plus UK PPV - Joshua will make 7/8 million easily. Parker will get 4-5 million.

Who is Parker going to want to fight more?

Wilder saw no problem fighting guys like Szpilka, Duhaupas..Now he sees a problem fighting Whyte for more money, that is really funny.

Yeah, just keep pretending Wilder is some kind of super star who fights big names lol.
