Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Like Andy Ruiz or Povetkin To Fight Dillian Whyte

[Robbie Barrett]

My bad Wilder got $20 and Ortiz 7 million. Which was reported by ESPN.

Which they admitted was a rumour. Finkel revealed Wilders real guarantee to Iole.

Manager Shelly Finkel said Wilder is guaranteed $3 million Saturday

If you think about is Haymon/Fox really so dumb to give out 27+ mil in guarantees for a card that didn't even make that in revenue?

Ruiz is coming off a loss, Povetkin is coming off a draw...why not another fighter coming off a loss? Why not Luis Ortiz? Since Whyte is Wilder's mandatory maybe he can fight Ortiz and show Wilder how "it's done". I'd pick Ortiz on this one.

ortiz is a nobody he is not a former wold cham like the other 2 mentioned he is justa over hipe bum with no record what wrong with u wilder delusional fan turds

I'd like to see Whyte vs Parker again. I doubt Ruiz would fight Whyte next.

Ruiz and Whyte are two slow footed, strong chin guys. That is a slugfest. They both get deteriorated. Is that the biggest fight for both of them? Or do they wait for Wilder?

I would love to see Whyte vs Ortiz. It would be competitive and I would love to see how Whyte dispatches Ortiz quicker (if he can) than Wilder, given he's been calling Ortiz names such as grandpa and 50 yr old and whatnot.

Ortiz vs Whyte on the undercard of Wilder-Fury. It would also give a chance to Whyte to call out Wilder, or any other venue agreeable to both. Povetkin can re-match Hunter. If not, I would love to see Ortiz vs Povetkin - the battle of the aging fighters, while Whyte can fight Miller.

Ruiz should fight Parker...but this time in the US, Mexico or a neutral venue. It gives him the opportunity to revenge his loss and, maybe, the motivation to get up his lazy a$$ and work hard in the gym.

Whyte vs Povetkin is a fight I would like to see

[Blond Beast]

Povetkin must be living the dream raking in all that Eddie money. He seems to be the go to guy for all Eddie's b-side guys and he doesn't have to work too hard for his retirement fund.

Exactly. He’s carved a great niche for himself in the second half of his career. He will travel, seems easy enough to make a deal with. He’s a smaller heavyweight and without the peds he makes a great b-roll opponent. I don’t mind the guy, but I’d rather see sum other opponents these days. Whyte was definitely overweight, and I’m glad he acknowledged he had about 20lbs to lose after his last fight. I’d like to see White fight Otto Whalin.

Watch it be Marco Huck or Tom Schwarz.

Do your research as well. Hearn purposely lowballed Ortiz so he can reject and say that Ortiz didn't want the fight.

He was offered more than he got for Wilder.

Did Whyte get a chin transplant?
