Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder May Have No Choice on Whyte, WBC Will Order It

[Butch.McRae]

My thoughts exactly. Now if this was the IBF I would say differently.

We all know the game lol but I'm starting to notice that AJ has A LOT of casuals around these boards now lol

I made the mistake of tweeting during Whyte's fight yesteday. It was bizarre how nonsensical the comments were

Nobody is buying into this bs. At least not boxing fans. Hearn just let Whyte beat a slab of meat with gloves on, and now he's trying to tout him as some kind of threat to the fight everyone wants to see. He's even throwing around this mandatory bs to try to spin it as if Whyte deserves a shot before wilder vs joshua. The problem with his story....

1. Whyte is not the mandatory for anything. He somehow fought for the silver championship against a guy who was just ko'd by duhaupas. Meanwhile breazeale fought molina for the top slot the night wilder defended against his actual mandatory stiverne. If anything Whyte has to fight breazeale for a mandatory position. All he is at the moment is a guy promoting his trinket belt his promoter bought for him.

2. Wilder just fought on the 4th and Joshua fights next week. There's no reason for Hearn to pretend they have conflicting schedules going. They can make this fight without a problem.

Lastly, we see the game that Hearn is running here. Joshua won't be "ready" until the end of the year. Wilder won't have a mandatory until November. Conveniently when Joshua will be "ready." Hopefully if it's whyte, then he can press for that fight instead of wilder vs Joshua. Leaving us fans another year and half of next year waiting for Joshua to stop ducking wilder and make the fight happen. Whyte is the UK version of amir Mansour. Not in any position to ruin the mega heavyweight fight. Stop ducking and make wilder vs Joshua now.

JOSHUA VS WILDER is the biggest HW fight in many years. HEARN is sh#tting his pants at the thought so he's pushing WHITE to make sure it doesn't happen.

Another point, the use of the term "mandatory" has been really morphed in this post-Mayweather era. (Mainly due to people chasing him for money lol)

There used to be something called the "# 1 contender" which is what Whyte actually is at this point. You're not a "mandatory" until the sanctioning body orders the fight.

It's annoying to hear that word so much now

The o my thing holding back the biggest fight in boxing Joshua WILDER is punk azz HEARN and so me of JOSHUA's PETRIFIED fans. I'm a fan of both fighters and am demanding the fight be signed right after JOSHUA destroys this bum He's fighting next week.

[Bigg Rigg]

Eddie dont want no smoke. $4 million while Joshua makes $20 plus right. He knows what he is doing with that offer so he can save the bs for somebody else. He making his boy AJ look soft. Smh

How could anyone not want to see Wilder vs AJ next ? It’s a historic fight. 2 undefeated HW champs with a 99% KO ratio between the 2 of them, one from US the other from UK .

It is literally the fight I've waited my adult life for lol tired of watching ESPN classic/YouTube HW fights. We have one primed for us and we might not get it. Sad stuff if it's not next.
