Comments Thread For: Whyte Won't Take 'Easy Fights' Before Fighting For WBC Title

I think Dillian will end Wilder at Wembley in April!

LMAO at thinking just anyone can book and fight at Wembley, lol. Stop dreaming, if the fight ever happens here, it's destined for o2.

He needs to take it easy and fight easy fights until the mandatory happens. He can fight Charles MArtin, Trevor Bryan, Charr or Breazeale.

Hearn will gamble and make it a Wembley fight if Wilder went over there ,but the odds are is it wont happen. No way Wilder goes to the U.K to fight Whyte voluntarily.

He got dropped by this Rivas guy.

Anyone can outbox Wilder so if he can last 12 he'll win. But idk that he can last 12 is the thing. Whyte's defense isn't anything special. His boxing ain't even that good, he's been touch & go with Del Boy in 2 fights & Del Boy isn't exactly known as a great boxer himself. So I just don't see Whyte being likely to upset the apple cart here. Its a 70/30 Wilder fight & almost everyone has a 20% chance to beat Wilder cuz he's so wild.

Great post. 100% accurate

Guy is actually fighting the best competition between all contenders, so, he has the right to one softer touch.

But people keep saying Ortiz is better because he was stopped by Wilder.

Charr is a good shout - it’s a name Hearn and Whyte mentioned before Rivas was finalised. It’s about the right level of risk.

The booking of Wembley was probably the least unlikely part. I think Dillian would want to do it in Vegas

I know Hearn is dumb but he's not that dumb. Unless they're going to close the upper tier and make Wembley like 40-50% capacity ish, it's going to be a waste of money. Dillian Whyte doesn't really have that type following and even Fury has a far bigger fan base compared to Dillian. Dillian just struggled to put bums on seats at the o2 despite how loaded the cards was. Or didn't you see all the empty seats at the o2? I doubt they sold 8,000 tickets for that fight and the crowd wasn't that much bigger than the Dubois vs Gorman fight.

And how many people out here would pay to watch Wilder?

[alexjust]

He doesn't mean Povetkin, does he? Because that might the hardest fight he might get, except for the Big Three (or Four, if you like to include Ruiz). Charles Martin looks good on paper, but only on paper and will not constitute a "hard" fight. Same with Price. They might go with Kownacki or Kuzmin if Whyte is looking for a challenge. Pulev would be another good one for Whyte.

Yes, he's entitled to a soft touch he can beat up. He's earned the spot, it's time to focus on the prize.

You can't just be jumping in there taking all kinds of risks in a division where one punch can change everything. Say Rivas caught him good with that uppercut, that would've been the end of that fight.

I believe he can spark out Wilder if he's patient and fights behind his jab. His reach is deceptively long and the way he throws that vicious left hook is sneakily fast. So, he will most likely catch Wilder before Wilder lands and when he does, it's night night.
