Comments Thread For: Povetkin Distances Himself From Whyte, Wants Joshua Shot

[P4Pdunny]

of course he would want the AJ fight, he'd fancy his chances too

[BWC]

Fast Eddie always up the BodySnatcher to anyone who might pose even the tiniest threat to AJ. I mean get it through your head Eddie, Whyte is not who people want to fight!!

[Cinci Champ]

lol the use dylan as defense for joshua is not working at all wilder now povetkin are like no thanks give me the champ not the bodyguard

[BoxingTech718]

Looks like the strategy of using Dillian as a shield isn’t working so well for AJ

[sicko]

He is AJ's Mandatory for his WBA and WBO Belt, fighting Whyte is a waste of time at this point

[tokon]

He's the wbo and wba mandatory, he shouldn't have to fight anyone else.

Exactly.

First Wilder, then Povetkin are offered Whyte; almost like Hearn is trying to protect someone . . . .

I have not seen a heavyweight champs career handled this badly since Rock Newman.

[drunken fist]

Didn't just IBF issued a match between Pulev and Whyte for the mandatory spot?

Yes and Pulev has accepted...unlike Breazeale who passed on Whyte.

I'm not saying Whyte is a bum. Hes just not important enough to anyone outside of the UK. Whyte,Miller,H.Fury,Ruiz,Breazeale etc, are decent wins but they should be fighting each other to move up.
If all those guys would fight each other we'd know who's deserving. Instead we get the same from Hearn.
