Comments Thread For: Whyte Feels Joshua is Looking For Easier Fights, Avoiding Danger

[Jax teller]

Oh that’s totally different then.

Mayweather KO’d Hatton in 10, Pac did it in 2.

Pac sure is going to take Floyd’s head off!

Terrible comparison, Wilder is not going to turn up with Mayweather style game plan to defensively neutralise AJ's offence. It'll be a race of who can get the knockout first so far AJ shown he is more effecient at this.

Mayweather Pac would have been a different fight if Mayweather had tried to meet Pac toe to toe and he knew this so he played to his strengths.

Of course it’s a terrible comparison. That was my point.

Good point about the media but I assume this has gone out the window since Hearns said they was getting ghosted by Finkel. Wilder did say AJ is begging for the FIGHT no mention of lowballs and that he would't do it for 28 mil even as he wants the Fury fight, which is fair.

To address what Whyte is saying firstly he is not AJ's promoter or friend even so he has no requirement be "nice". It also benefits Whyte saying that he himself is a dangerous fighter and going with one of the narratives out there that AJ is avoiding dangerous fights.

Whether true or not (whole other debate) including himself in this group of fighters makes him appear more dangerous, generates more hype for a fight with AJ and produces lovely soundbytes for the media to use increasing public awareness of him. Miller has done exactly the same but he's the one being touted as the easy fight now Whyte has said it. Plus if we're taking Whyte at his word he's said similar stuff about Wilder especially in regards to him being afraid of Whyte. Logically as well do you really think AJ isn't fighting Whyte next? Wilder appears to be busy, they will not fight Miller in UK as he is AJ's US meal ticket, Khan Brook isn't happening, Wembely is booked, AJ has alway talked about the Whyte rematch (seems to be his favourite opponent) and Whyte is an inhouse fighter.

I think many have a tendency to make the assumptions that suit their agenda or what they want to believe when there is an absence of information.

As far as the Whyte AJ Miller saga, I think the AJ Whyte match up is intended to be the fight, but the money isn't right in Whyte eyes so he is talking s hit in the media. I think he feels AJ team wants the easiest fight for the most money and the greater the risk the more money they wanna keep in their pockets.

A fight that once had to be made by Dec 1st has not been made. It's time for a certain fan base to question why. What's the issue?

Hearn initial plan was to make the undisputed in house by directing whyte to wilder hoping he can take off then green belt from him but the politics in WBC is so strong that it might take another 4/5yrs to achieve and whyte don't have such time.

He had to move on. The second plan of making an all UK undisputed paradventure fury pick up the green belt failed again. All thanks to the Mexican judge.

Am sure hearn being a master planner should have plan C and Plan D to bring all the belts to the UK.

That's the ultimate target. So who so ever wants a crack will have to come to the UK, making American HW's irrelevant.

Couldn't he just offer Wilder 35-40% last year and have AJ take it from him? Or couldn't he have simply met Wilder's demands of $8M and AJ next? I mean Whyte would have won and given Hearn the UK unification right?

What trick does the master planner have up his sleeve now? When will we know who AJ next opponent is since once again Wilder is fighting Breazeale....guaranteed.

Well, I believe team AJ thinks wilder is not in a position to make demands. That mentality was the initial road block.
But now it's a different ball game, wilder seems not be interested in the undisputed any more.

You're asking an old question. That Dec 1st ship sailed long before Dec 1st even arrived, Hearn was clearly trying to get Wilder to sign before he gained any extra value from Fury fight, it's his job, but near enough straight away was told he can swivel and he had to change his stance, rightly so. What do the fans need to do if he was already corrected in this aspect?

As to why the fights not been made now between AJ/Wilder, it's because Wilder only has eyes for Fury, not AJ's fault so he can't be moaned at but also perfectly fine route for Wilder to take to settle the controversy of the first fight. Thought this was pretty obvious.

All is well as long as Wilder fights Fury next.

just the way stirverne got a rematch.

Different story. Wilder accepted that rematch as a gimme fight with an overweight, two years absent Stiverne. With Joshua, it would be giving Whyte a do over as if he weren't ready the first time. If AJ agrees, fine, but he's offered both Wilder and Fury a fight on April 13th. Let's see who steps up and accepts.

Well, sooner or later we will know.

If the new offer was poor, trust me, wilder and finkel would have screamed the earth down.
They remain silence cos they are not interested in the fight yet.
Don't be fooled.

The media nearly got deaf when the $15mil offer was made and everybody that cares to know knew about it.

They have a hidden agenda.

Wilder has a rematch with Fury, are you not aware of this?
I dont think he will organise a fight against Joshua on the same night.

Use your brain.

Was speaking of the April 13 fight with any opponent. Not just Wilder. Lately he has said end of January.
