Comments Thread For: Hearn: As it Stands, Whyte is Frontrunner To Fight Joshua

[Throwingbombs]

If 'it is quite obvious that Wilder is the first choice' why was AJ not ringside waiting to call out the winner when he fought Fury?
He did choose to be at ringside and be a prominent figure at the Whyte/Chisora fight, even entering the ring at the end.
If you are a believer in logic then surely you must see that AJ and Whyte 2 is going to happen in April and the Chisora fight was merely an eliminator.

Because it does not work like that. If a fight is not agreed in principle and team Wilder had shown no interest in even wanting to have a meeting or even talk about the fight then why should he travel thousands of miles to turn up? Wilder did not show up to AJ's last fight.

AJ turned up to Whyte-Chisora because the fight was taking place in his home town and it is with his same promotional company Matchroom, it is a ****** comparison to make.

I believe the first fight was a draw and every recorded book show it a draw yet you cite a boxer’s fans have no logic?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It was officially a draw but everyone knows who should have won on the scorecards, here's a clue for you, it wasn't the guy fighting in his own backyard.

Sad thing here ladies and gents..... He actually believes THIS!!

Nice comeback with valid points there....oh wait

[Throwingbombs]

Man.. what if Whyte KO'S AJ!!! That WOULD BE EXTREME KARMA!!! Value for money! An would shake up the division.. Whyte could fight whoever he wants.. after rematch clause with AJ of course.. If whyte dethroned AJ which is possible.. Wilder vs Whyte would be dope.. and probably a more exciting fight than Wilder vs AJ or Fury.. I'm just saying.. Whyte ain't afraid to go out on his shield.. but vs Wilder.. Whyte will go out on a stretcher. The end.

This could well happen. Whyte is a much more dangerous fight than Wilder so AJ is legit playing with fire taking the Whyte fight.

Wow what a surprise

Yep, been on the cards for a while now, Wilder does not want the fight so Whyte was the obvious back up choice.

[Throwingbombs]

Okay okay okay Eddie, I ll act surprised. Now clears throat and dawn my Home Alone face.."Oh my god? Is Whyte really the front runner to fight AJ?!? This wasn't always the fight that was going to happen on April 13th. No way. I don't believe it. Eddie wouldn't lie to the public like this"....

Was always going to happen as Wilder never wanted the fight so you are half right.

Wilder has the fight offer in front of him but is not interested.

Whyte is the next best option and is has done far more to deserve a fight than any other fighter.

[Ake-Dawg]

How can a AJ fan have no clue what Hearn offered in October or if Hearn offered a new deal as promised after the Fury fight, but be emphatic that Wilder doesn't want the Joshua fight even though Wilders managers are taking calls from Hearn.

That's like saying AJ is playing with fire taking a fight with Dave Allen if you think Whyte is a dangerous fight for him then you must not really rate AJ

Yes because Dave Allen has wins over Chisora, Parker Browne etc

Because Wilder turned down double his highest purse at the time to fight Dave Allen? It was Wilder who turned down the big money to fight Whyte as he legit knows he loses.


The fact Whyte is currently has the best resume of wins outside AJ right now means he has earned that respect. He has rocked AJ already and has only got better and better.
