    he should get in line since he was koed last time, and has since beaten a journeyman and that crappo australian guy, hardly an indictment for a shot.

    At best, hes a staybusy, and joshuas had a few of them already in povetkin and co.

      Thank you.
      Not that I agree but....

      WBA:
      1. Trevor Bryan
      2. Jarrell Miller
      3. Fres Oquendo
      4. Dillian Whyte
      5. Dereck Chisora
      6. Otto Wallin
      7. Bryant Jennings
      8. Alexander Povetkin
      9. Joe Joyce
      10. Filip Hrgovic
      11. Sergey Kuzmin
      12. Michael Hunter
      13. Bogdan Dinu
      14. Guillermo Jones
      15. Dillon Carman

      That said, Whyte has already had his shot at Joshua and got ktfo. And I didn't say one deserved the match over the other, just that both deserved a shot. I was basing that on their overall ranking and not based on the sanctioning bodies. If you want to get technical about it, Ortiz would be next in line but we know that's not happening.

        Well, it is what it is but I see no reason why or how miller was ranked ahead of whyte but trust me it will change come 2019.
        Every other ranking orgy has whyte ahead of both miller and Ortiz.
        Point of correction, whyte never fought AJ for a world title rather for the vacant British title.

        Whyte has never gotten any world title shot but trust me 2019 is his year.

        The British fans want it, the true boxing fans want it and we are excited about it come April, 2019 if Paradventure wilder got scared again to sign.

          I don't mind him getting another shot, but I just want to see Miller vs. Joshua. We've already seen that Whyte can't beat Joshua. I don't need a replay of that just because a title is on the line.

            If it was perfectly OK for Stiverne to get another crack at Wilder after 1 fight, 1 UD against Derreck Rossy (wow) then i dont see why its such a problem for Whyte who has 9 wins in a row since he last faced AJ and is sat in mandatory positions with 2 of the organizations and sits highly with the other ones.

            It seems to typically be the Wilder fans who once again have a problem with the British threats and they are the ones making the most noise but they gave Wilder a full pass to rematch Stiverne. I never complained about the Stiverne rematch but it does seem like a complete joke of a rematch compared to the Whyte AJ one.

              If he wants to be remembered and considered as one of the best fighters of his era, then it's about time for him to start taking some risks and get out of that protected box .
              Some fans on here are deluded. Wilder, as a comparison has hAd a ten year career and had two decent fights (a close win versus Ortiz and a draw with Fury).

              Joshua has had 5 years in the sport, only 22 fights and has 4 of the 5 belts and has beaten :

              Whyte (unbeaten at time)
              Martin (unbeaten at time)
              Brezeale (unbeaten at time)
              Klitschko (HoF?)
              Povetkin (top 3 at time)
              Parker (unbeaten and top3 at time)
              Takam

              Honestly, anyone who tries to demean that resume needs to share which other heavyweight has done the same thing within 22 fights because there won’t be many.

                AJ/miller will definitely happen but that will be after AJ/whyte.

                AJ/ortiz will happen as well. These guys still have some time at the top of their game.

                  Stiverne had a rematch clause in the contract because he had the title.

                    I can live with either. Both are good fights IMO.

                    But I do have a problem with an earlier comment you made......

                    You can't honestly think that Wilder ran from the Joshua fight. Nobody with a brain thinks that. And now you know that Fury and Wilder have unfinished business so don't even act like it's an AJ duck.

                      Lol! Did you just question Klitschko's HOF entry? You do realize that Vitali went in last year right?
