Comments Thread For: Hearn Says Joshua vs. Whyte Rematch is Getting Closer

[Phenom]

Ortiz is nothing living off outboxing wilder till he got sparked out and everyone knows wilder can't box for sh it whyte has earned that rematch he's fought much better fighters than Ortiz and Miller what's the point in having rankings if the fighter who fights the best to earn the shot don't get it cos someone looks hard Ortiz or shouts his mouth of Miller whyte has gone from strength to strength since first fight I dont think Joshua has

Maybe because he looked like **** against Parker and a shot Chisora? At least Miller and Ortz are not going life and death with 8 loss fighters

Whyte would earn the rematch if he was a Mando and at that point people would excuse the fight as a formality and just dealing with mandatory challenger

I just got done listening to some interviews from yesterday and he was saying Miller is the favorite and even if it is Whyte, it will likely be in May or June. What am I missing here? Did something change that quickly or is the article a bit suspect?

They should just chill till they announce something

Whyte is a very good fighter. The best fight he can do right now besides the obvious 2 which are fighting each other again as these 2 are.

Eddie loves leaving his fights to last minute, so he can use the excuse "no one else was available".

[Jkp]

What a pathetic excuse for a promoter. Cant even arrange an opponent.

The Fury and Wilder rematch is gonna totally overshadow Joshua's next fight again.

Are you okay? You seem pressed today and haven't mentioned baby oil. I'm concerned.

Wilderlites of late haven’t been drumming on about Wilder’s lofty achievements so I feel it’s only right I don’t remind them of his flaws and Kryptonite( Baby oil) When they start to talk slick I will go to the archives and get my ace card and hit them with the baby oil antidote. It’s a lovely secret weapon. They seem to disappear the minute I mention it. Watch this space , I go head to head with a Wilderlite and the baby oil scandal and I promise you they are mouses on the subject and hibernate...... it’s a beautiful thing. Deontay ‘ baby oil’ Wilder is real

Rankings are subjective and not some authority. As far as Whyte earning his rematch...meh. He beat some C level guys and Parker...barely. Better names than say Ortiz but a lot of people give Ortiz more credit for almost beating Wilder than they give Whyte for surviving versus Parker. With that said, given that Joshua owns a win over Whyte a lot of people would prefer Joshua take on Ortiz over Whyte...its a more challenging fight.

It being a more challenging fight is your subjective opinion just like me thinking both Whyte and Ortiz getting knocked out by AJ in similar rounds is my opinion too.

I know exactly how both fighters look when they are knocked out so I wouldn’t mind seeing a fat Yank from Brooklyn getting knocked out with the incentive he has a big mouth and I curious whether he falls face first, butt cheeks in the air or he curls up like a new born in the foetal position.

If Miller can take and absorb a punch well the fight might be really competitive.We already know with Ortiz he is skilled but he is old. He can not take punishment.

AJ vs Miller will sell more than AJ vs Ortiz

Cojanu was a late substitute when H Fury pulled out with days to go, was not Parker's intended choice of opponent. True that Parker didn't look great in the fight.

Cojanu had done over a 100 rounds of sparring with parker just prior to that fight, so its not that surprising he worked out how not to get KO'd during those 100 rounds.

“I do think there’s value in doing that, but you can’t really win in this game because people always say Joshua is a home boy. [When he says] he’ll come to New York and fight this loud mouth in New York, he’s then running from the others.

Nobody is saying he's running from the others if he fights Miller, will I'm not saying it, if he fights Miller I think it'll be a good fight. I don't really care for the rematch with Whyte but it's not a terrible fight. There's only two other guys people wanna see AJ fight and that's Fury and Wilder. And after Fury-Wilder is settled then it'll just be ONE guy people wanna see AJ fight lol after that mission accomplished lol

Remember when Hearn said AJs next fight had to be done before Dec 1st...
