Miller and Bryan have been linked for years. It would make for a nice little face-off in January before the AJ showdown in June..Comment

Thank you for your opinion on how things SHOULD work, but that's not how things DO work. Pulev is IBF mandatory. Whether you like it or not, AJ is going to have to fight him or be stripped.
To try to delay the Pulev fight, Hearn asked the WBO not to count Povetkin as a mandatory defense, even though Povetkin was publicly declared the mandatory by the WBO multiple times. Hearn wanted to finagle his way into Whyte counting as a mandatory defense so that Pulev could be delayed.
Hearn asked not to count Povetkin as a mandatory so he could persue Wilder longer . If Hearn wants to fight Whyte hes available at any time he's both fighters promoters.
How many posters have you on ignore here on the forum , just curious ?

you're not understanding the situation. povetkin was wba and wbo mandatory. hearn asked the wbo to pretend they never declared povetkin the mandatory so whyte could cut in front of pulev.
the ibf mandatory is due, but if whyte is wbo mandatory instead of povetkin, it means the wbo is up next in the rotation. since aj vs whyte isnt a unification, there's no way for it to trump the pulev fight unless whyte is wbo mandatory.
so the wbo just pretended they never named povetkin the mandatory and theb moved whyte to #1.Comment

Fairly certain this is illegal - even if he "thinks" he will do it.Comment
