Why Is Deontay Wilder So Afraid Of Dillian Whyte?

[Smash]

joshua v wilder will be boxoffice, it surely has to be, it should happen later this year. Its a perfect setup for wilder really, the other guy has gone and done what he couldnt do, collected the belts and he gets one fight for them all!! nice, what is he complaining for i dont know, the guy has never even got one ppv buy and he wants 50/50, what a clown, thats not how things work mr wilder

I thought It was nonsense initially, but if you are going to fight that kownacki guy instead of whyte, it's a duck

[CaineP]

Its not a duck....he just doesn’t want to a matchroom fighter without guarantees of aj.

It think it is a great tactic. Fighting whyte non-mandatory is a surrender to matchroom.
If you dont want to give me the fight all want to see...fine...stay in your lane...I will stay in my!!!

Your are going on mute!!!!!

Whyte is to Wilder as WIlder is to AJ.

Whyte could upset Wilder's plans and future earning potential, so he doesn't want to fight him before he fights AJ.

WIlder's power could put AJ to sleep and mess up his long term eearning potential, so Hearn wants to make as much as he can (Miller, whyte 2 and Fury all possibly on HBO) before AJ fights wilder.

Really simple. It's not ducking, fear (although wilder and AJ look bad for not wanting to fight a guy that could beat them) or anything else, just big business.

Only a Wilder fan would consider Stiverne as a legit threat.

The world's leading experts had Stiverne #2 in the world. If he wasn't a threat, it was only because Wilder is so dominant. If you're so good that #2 in the world isn't a threat, that's not your fault.

This 'afraid' nonsense is all casual talk. Fighters at the top level aren't afraid of eachother, people on here don't know what a fighter's mindset is like so it's no wonder 95% of the discussion on the forum is about fighters ducking or being afraid.

Seriously, some of you guys have been 'watching' boxing for years and you still take the same bait every single time.

I don't think too highly of Wilder but he would knock Whyte into next week, that's not a serious fight. If Wilder doesn't want that fight, it's certainly not because he's afraid

Wilder has no excuse for not fighting whyte. Wilder likes fighting chumps so why not fight another one?

I’m gonna have to agree with this. In the grand scheme of things Hearn throwing Whyte into the mix like some sort of delay tactic, is ****** and frustrating. I’ve said before, yes he may be in line for the WBC but if Hearn wasn’t shouting from the rooftops about him then not one single AJ fanboy would be repeating it.

BUT...IF Wilder is off to fight someone worse than Whyte it does indeed look bad. Wilder would be stagnating his position while everyone else is improving theirs. This only serves in detriment to the superfight being sooner rather than later.

I don't know because I'm not involved in the negotiations, the terms and conditions being offered aren't public so only the fighters' teams know what's on the table.
