Comments Thread For: Whyte: Andy Ruiz Didn't Want It, Rejected Two Offers

[alexguiness]

Whyte sounding like the A side...

[15 Rounds again]

Ruiz has already stated he doesn’t want a tough fight next. He wants a tune-up.


For those that thought it was Whyte that didn’t want the fight.

He (Ruiz) is fighting Kownaki - a decent if unproven opponent.

Edit: For clarity, that's my guess, nothing in stone yet.

Ruiz is probably well North of 300 pounds. Of course Whyte wants to fight Ruiz now, though I think Ruiz might still best him.

Whyte loves to sound off all the time calling fighters out. When Ortiz canceled his date in the US to answer Whyte's call out to him to fight in the UK, Whyte reneged.

True enough, coming out and saying Whyte don't want that smoke, then admitting you turned down it down (and $5M) aint a good look though.

Also true. Don't let your mouth sign checks your a$$ can't cash.

Does Dillian Whyte know the definition of a hypocrite? He blasts someone for fighting a 38 year old when he is fighting someone over 40. He is always fighting old heads. To me Whyte has one really good win and it's not really even a win. Change the headbutt knockdown round from 10-8 Whyte back to 10-9 Parker as it should have been and Whyte didn't even win. Chisora beat him in their first fight and he is about to be 37 himself. He could of fought AJ in April of 2019 so I don't feel bad for him and his crying of 800 days bulls hit when he passed on the Ortiz eliminator. Povetkin has a name but is clearly past it. He would of dominated PED Whyte in his prime. I'm just ready for this guy to get his shot so he can get sparked out again and be done with it.

Story story...
Whyte has better wins than wilder.
Take it to the bank.

[STREET CLEANER]

Whyte tried to fight Wilder, Ruiz and Ortiz and they didn't want the risk...Povetkin said yes. Read into that whatever you need to but it's really not that complicated.

When did Whyte tried to Ortiz. Freshen my memory.

From Eddie Hearn's comments, I get the feeling Andy could be a possibility in the US but not the next fight. May be later in the year.

It was Ruiz this time

Good post, it also amuses me how Whyte thinks himself as some kind of massive puncher.

In reality, he has an average KO% and it's less than Tyson Fury's who he claims can't punch for s***

Ok fine but Whyte , how many fights have you refused
Like his statement that a champion needs to fight anywhere
To bad he was never a champion

Stop. Just stop. Your blatant bias and hatred for anything British makes everything you say lacking in crediblity.
Whyte arguably has the best resume of any heavyweight, champion or not. He is only stating facts. Ruiz didn't want the fight. Do you have anything to contradict that? If not, shut your ignorant mouth.
