Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte vs. Kubrat Pulev - IBF Eliminator is Ordered

[7not8]

I think Hearn is pushing Whyte through the IBF route because AJ vs Wilder is happening.

I hope you're right and I'm thinking the same thing.

[Removed Now]

Will be interesting to see if Whyte takes this or tries to go the WBC route

I don't think think WBC would ruin an mega fight. Now the IBF donz give a f.

That's exactly how I see it. I think the WBC had already told hearm that they weren't going to order whyte as mando.

Oh well WBC likely moves on to Breazeale as the new #1 Contender

Haye vs Bellew
Whyte vs Povetkin
AJ vs Miller
Wilder vs Breazeale

That is a Strong Heavyweight Schedule Actually!

Miller still needs to beat Duhaupas who will have had a full training camp. He can’t be overlooked by Miller. Duhaupas also throws a lot of punches for a big man & he can take a good shot. He is 6’5 around 250-260. He won’t be manhandled. Wach was in poor shape & I doubt Duhaupas will leave any stone unturned in training. He is notorious for taking fights on short notice but is getting a full camp for this WBA eliminator. He must have Charr/Oquendo winner in his sites. He is one of my favorite HWs & Miller will have his hands full. Helenius & Charr both made mistakes taking him as a stay busy fight.

Whyte will decline Pulev no way he gets past him, Whyte will wait on Wilder purse bids.

Whyte called out Wilder & Povetkin. No reason to pull out of the Pulev fight. Pulev has no power. Whyte has momentum & has beat Chisora, Helenius & Browne the last year while Pulev has beat Sam Peter & Kingpin. His last win over a fringe contender was Chisora a few years ago. Pulev isn’t getting any younger & he simply doesn’t have the power to keep any heavyweight off him. A few years ago I’d favor Pulev but now I think he loses to whyte, Parker, breazeale, wilder, povetkin, AJ, Fury & I’m not sure if he could beat Duhaupas or Miller. I’d give Hughie Fury a shot too. Pulev hasn’t done anything in years & his best win is over chisora & old tony thompson. Ustinov & Dimitrenko were never that good. Pulev has really never beat any top contender

Good Point! Yeah in the back of my mind I think Duhaupas could not only give him problems but might BEAT HIM or Miller will need a Controversial Decision to get past him. Yes that is VERY TRUE!

Breazeale pulled out apparently.

No point breazeale fighting AJ again anyway

[Kezzer]

Just proves that rankings mean nothing? Breazeale offered first from sixth, then Whyte at 4? What about Miller at 3 for instance!

[Cool Scant]

Great! Hopefully we can stop hearing about Dilly Ann Whyte fighting Wilder now.

[Pigeons]

Wilder-Breazeale coming to a TV screen near you.
