I would assume everybody crazy enough to make that claim are doing it because they think Wilder would lose? Why else would somebody "duck" a fighter?
You know that assume makes and ass out of u and me. Just because I want Whyte to get his shot at Wilder, which is more deserved than Ortiz or Ruiz or any of these guys btw, doesn't mean I think he'll win.
Does he have a chance? Yes. His left hook is good. If it connects, he could finish Wilder.
Is it likely? No. I think he's a bit too chinny to beat Wilder, but it'll be a good fight.
Wilder could be ducking the fight for several reasons. Whyte is not a PBC fighter. Maybe Whyte commands a bigger purse than Ortiz. Maybe they want a guaranteed "success". Maybe they think Whyte's style wouldn't suit him.
There are a whole host of reasons. But one thing is for sure, and that is Wilder is not exactly running to Whyte.

But he's not scared.
I think politics stopped that fight mainly. I agree Whyte deserves a little shot for putting together those wins.
Ortiz resume outside of fighting Wilder is horrendous so it’s not like he takes on challenges or all comers..... and if the plan has always been to rematch Wilder (a voluntary) then when was he planning to fight Whyte? I mean he turned down $7m for AJ then what makes you think he would fight Whyte?
