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

[Robbie Barrett]

I wonder if you're trying to make this overly simple so that you can say Wilder ducked or if you just don't realize that signing a fight deal entails more factors than just purse size. Dibella and Wilder asked Hearn to come back to the table with better "terms" associated with taking a fight against Whyte and Hearn did not.

So Wilder is ducking Whyte to fight Joshua? Because that's what you're ultimately saying. Seems to me that Joshua is ducking Wilder and using the build up your name in the UK angle as an excuse not to fight. What ever happened to unification fights?

Come back to the table with better terms? He was offered 4 ****ing mil.


Hearn has every right to try and make the fight as big as it can be by getting Wilder exposure. Parker is a unification option and is more known in the UK. Wilder is behind Parker right now. A Whyte fight would have moved him in to the top spot, he ducked that.

Actions speak louder than words, Joshua is the man at HW. Wilder isn't doing anything to make himself the better option over Parker.

Whyte is top 10 by The Ring, how is he irrelevant?

The Rings ratings are meaningless, it's a magazine owned by ODLH. Name one significant win in Whyte's career? His resume is trash.

It's arguable that Chisora is better than Stiverne. I actually think Chisora won that fight but it's a win on Whyte's resume. Wilders resume is trash.

Name ten better?

Whyte is in his prime and ambitious. Wilder sees him as a threat.

Wilder prefers to fight people who are below the top 25, or old and faded like Stiverne.

Notice how Joshua is fighting a decent, top ten HW like Takam, while Wilder is fighting old faded Stiverne, who has been inactive and looked poor in his last fight,

Agree with Dibella

Who the f.uck is whyte and what has he done ?

I'd understand if he was a PPV fighter and had a huge fan base but he isn't.

Hearn is just saying this because of the slim chance Whyte wins then he could have Whyte face Joshua for the strap because Wilder poses a bigger risk

Amazed some of these AJ / Hearn nut huggers actually agree with it

AJ, Wilder, Parker, Povetkin, Ortiz, Stiverne, Breazeale, Takam, Pulev, Jennings, etc. All have better resumes that Whyte who's only semi- meaningful win is a debatable SD over Chisora who is a shot gatekeeper. He's European level at best. If you want a title shot earn one in the ring. I think we'll have to agree to disagree bro. I have no interest going back and forth over a guy like Dillian 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.

Spot on!!!!

People keep going on about this Hearn offer. There's no proof a formal offer was made. Eddie Hearn is full of **** he is a cancer in British boxing. He's a good salesman who's found a way to exploit casual fans in Britain through Sky's exclusive deal in the U.K. where he can continually spread propaganda and fake news. If the first fight you ever promote is David Haye vs Audley Harrison on PPV, it says a lot about you as a promoter and about your knowledge of the fight game.

Whyte is better than old, faded inactive Stiverne, and mediocre Breazeale and Jennings. He'd probably beat Parker too.

Wilder would never take on someone decent like Takam or Pulev either, and he's avoided Ortiz and Povetkin.
