Dillian Whyte vs Kubrat Pulav should be finalized next week

[Jubei]

Lmao he fighting a guy who hasn’t fought in a year and only twice in the last three years.

Same as the average PBC fighter then.

i'm sorry, what? How is he a cancer to the heavyweight division?

Whyte wanting to fight wilder but wilder being a little ***** has really got to you hasn't it? Suck it up.

Whyte has done far more than wilder did at this point in his career but you won't complain about that will you?

Too many hypocrites on this site.

far more than wilder? Care to explain what you mean by this mate? I dont think any hw has this killer resume and aj has the best resume but not by miles as you all state.... You all act like the uk fighters have these killer resumes and have fought all elite hw opponents, how has whyte did far more than wilder???????

[uppercut510]

same as the average pbc fighter then.

this site has become a tacky tit for tat are you all little children???? U all take sides and defend based on fighters you like, it would be great to see some actual boxing fans on this site because you all are just fans of particular fighters

Why not go the WBC route?

You think AJ’s gonna fight him within a year? He doesn’t need an eliminator or to be a mandatory to fight AJ — he needs his master Hearn, who controls AJ and all his belts, to just make the fight.

This is a continuation of Whyte’s role as AJ’s bodyguard. Hearn has gone on before about anyone wanting to fight AJ has to go thru Whyte. Pulev is out there still owed a mandatory since he got skipped when he was injured, so Whyte is being presented as an obstacle to get Pulev out of the way.

Whyte is being used by Hearn, who is making the WBC the boogeyman to keep Whyte distracted from the fact that his own promoter could easily give him a title shot if he wanted to do so.

I've already explained why it wouldn't be a good idea to go the WBC route.

If Whyte becomes the mandatory for the IBF, then yes, with the way they force you to fight mandatories, he'll get his shot soon.

Give me examples of Whyte being AJ's bodyguard? Whyte couldn't give a **** about AJ, he can't stand him.

Tell me which fighters Hearn has said you have to go through Whyte to get to AJ?

Pulev isn't owed a mandatory you idiot. He lost that position because he pulled out injured. It went to the next in line which was Takam. Pulev has to fight an eliminator to get that position back.

It doesn't make much sense to have the AJ/Whyte rematch unless Whyte brings something to the party. That's why he and Hearn are going in Wilder's direction to get the WBC.

Hearn can give him a title shot with a snap of his fingers and a bag of $$$ to the WBA or IBF or IBO, lol. The WBC thing is a ploy to keep Dilly Dilly distracted so he doesn’t realize his own promoter is screwing him.

The only way Hearn can give Whyte a shot at AJ if he's not mandatory, is if he's a voluntary.

But Hearn doesn't want to match them up again unless Whyte has a title himself. No one is calling for the rematch unless Whyte has a title. It's not long since they fought each other.

The only other reason Hearn would match them is if there aren't any better match-ups to make.

He’s being used as Joshua’s human shield.

Pulev was supposed to have a mandatory and got hurt. Now he has to fight Joshua to get the same fight he signed to have before.

Wilder has been trying to get a unification with AJ and Hearn’s line has been “He has to fight Whyte first.”

It’s like Dilly Dilly is a condom protecting Hearn’s private part (AJ).

No one begrudges Whyte calling out anyone, and he’s called out literally everyone. But there are many, including me, who aren’t fond of the idea that he’s being held up as a barrier to meaningful fights that can be made with AJ, especially a unification.

And it’s certainly fair play to point out that Dilly Dilly has called out Ortiz ... and then runs the other way when the WBC obliges him by making it an eliminator. If he’s gonna call out people, he needs to answer the bell when someone tries to make the fight.

Hearn didn't want the Whyte/Wilder fight to protect AJ. He wanted the fight because it would have been good to show Wilder to the wider public. But Hearn wins no matter which way the fight goes because he can then set up the unification with AJ.

Hearn is a promotor, this is his job. Get with the program.

[W1LL]

A weak move from Dillian Whyte and his promoter Eddie Hearn. Just when they were trying to nurture some sort of "most avoided Heavyweight" gimmick for Dillian too.

I used to admire uk fans but these last few months have left a bad taste and a stain, the way you all flip flop opinions and are blatantly biased is terrible. Let wilder or an american be in whytes shoes you all would have a field day

I think you'll find it's the Americans that are biased. No matter what you have got to defend your fighters even if it means contradicting yourselves and being hypocrites.

Whyte wants to fight Wilder so what is the problem? Whyte would be the second best fighter Wilder has faced and it would be by far his biggest payday. What is there not to like? It's not like they're saying take Whyte for **** money are they?

[Madison Boxing]

why are you guys so worked up pulev is just as good if not better than old ortiz. he'll beat whyte.

[Sid-Knee]

i can see bth sides on the arguments, its a fk up either way it goes buts its happend before. Id rather see whyte fight ortiz since he called him old and pretty much disrespected him as a fighter. But outside of this whole fiasco uk fans have became the most disrespectful and biased fans on the boards, we understand you have a good boxer in aj, but to call ortiz a bum but act as if dillian wyhte is this monster just because hes from the uk is tacky. They disrespect professional fighters daily and is not a good look, maybe you arent one of those posters but its become too much to sit and read this madness daily. Defending everything hearn says, name calling, overly unfair positions. Its like ge wiz calm down

Show me these posts where British fans have called Ortiz a bum? It's the Americans who were building him up to be a monster and better than Wladimir. So we put you straight in your quite clear delusion.

Americans are all over this site calling Joshua a drug cheat and calling Golovkin lil G. So it's clear you hypocrites are selective to what you see. It's not a surprise though, you're poisonous on every forum I've been on.

Who is making Whyte out to be a monster? I've not seen any of what you are saying. All they want is to see is Wilder fight Whyte. Nothing more.
