    he agreed to fight him in a public press statement? is that binding? ortiz was offered the fight and he fought rajvan cojuna instead. oh you can fight ortiz for the second mandatory while breazlee who just jumped over you for no apparent reason gets first shot. are we supposed to pretend that didn't just happen? whyte knew he was being effed with and stopped jumping through their hoops. doesnt matters as he's still mandatory. wilder just didnt last as champ but wilder was never fighting whyte. he was offered 5 million when he was making 1 and turned down the fight. it just wasnt in the cards. they had plans for wilder that didnt involve whyte

      no, what happened was wilder asked for 7 and then hearn offered it almost a year later when wilder was pursuing the fury rematch. do you know why fury and whyte didnt fight for the diamond belt? because they already had their own fights lined up. whyte hasnt fought the eliminators as you've pointed out so you are correct there. but stiverne was mandatory because povetkin had messed up previously. wilder at that time was meant to face ortiz. when is joshua gonna fight pulev for the ibf mandatory?

        Fact is if Whyte had fought Luis Ortiz in a final eliminator he could have put real pressure on Wilder or Fury to fight him.

        He screwed himself by not doing it.

                    True or false?
                    True who doesn't know this? The brits know they're just dumb. Who that truly follows the heavyweight division doesn't know this?

                      False . Whyte was the silver belt champion which put him at number 2 mando so taking any fight wouldnt have got him Wilder because Breazeale was the mando and then Fury was bumped to mando after that in the Wilder rematch.

                      You guys just keep reaching ,he didnt get a fight with Wilder because Wilder declined a 4/7 million offer from Hearn in 2018 while he was looking for an opponent but picked Ortiz instead .The other eliminators have zero to do with Wilder because thats a IBF /WBO situation concerning A.J not Wilder. . The second reason he was never the number one mando before the Fury rematch is Fury decling a Diamond belt fight which he said he would take for the mando spot and fight Whyte for it, but keep reaching and lying about how whyte ducked any WBC mando spot . ha

                      Now unlike most on here i actually understand within the WBC rules why Whyte didn't get a shot yet because he didn't win a final elimination bout prior to Rivas but lets not pretend it wasnt Wilder running from this one because it was and he showed it through a text message of freezing him out and picking Ortiz again a fight few wanted to see, and using a failed test doesnt work either because that was reversed but Whyte ducking though ? Ha


                      Stiverne , Breazeale , Fury are his mandatories in a five year stretch ,one out of the ring 2 years and the other he was already signed to fight in a rematch, and the other A.J had defeated years ago so Wilder doesnt exactly have a strong case for actually persuing Mandatories does he and you want to pin it on Whyte the guy seeking better fights then he did as WBC champion ? Wow
                      I wish you woulda checked with me before you wrote all this.

                      Holding the Silver Belt in the WBC doesn't make you mandatory for anything.

                      It's right there in the WBC rules if you check.

                      Sorry. Nice try tho.
