Whyte has terrible management

He manages himself. Hes chosen for Matchroom to get him the most money, instead of going the eliminators route. He only has himself to blame for not getting a title fight, Matchroom will just keep making him a ton of money though.

Disagree. You can't look at things in a vacuum. Whyte got a shot at Joshua and lost. The demand for a rematch was not there for years. Then Joshua went and lost to Ruiz and had to rematch. Whyte had no chance of getting involved in those discussions.

Fury/Wilder were flirting with each other for a long time. Before that, Wilder stepped up to fight Ortiz, then gave him a rematch after a 'tuneup'. Fury was dealing with mental health issues.

Since 2018, Whyte's chances of landing a big fight were very small. You can't blame a fighter or his management if the other guys are not willing to step into the ring with you.

Why? Pulev will lose to AJ and disappear. Whyte will continue fighting B-class fighters and make millions per fight on PPV in the UK. Good life.

Whyte is the manager , the only guy he listens to is apparently his not so real brother who put into his head he’s worth more then he is and played the decision not to take the A.J fight . Not taking the big fight has almost always backfired in heavyweight boxing or delaying it and losing a fight costing one millions ,so history is against Whyte big time ,hope he makes it because the AJ payday is way out of reach now .

A.J wasn’t the champion when he fought Whyte . The fight was for both guys for the U.K title or something .

Wilder wasn’t willing to step in the ring with him is true but when he was offered a much better A.J deal,rematch included he walked away So he was involved in the discussions because he was offered the fight before Ruiz .

More like the WBC didn't bother enforcing their own rules.

The rules are a Silver belt champion must fight a final elimination bout . Under its rules rematches can dictate wheather a fighter becomes mandatory as well so up until Breazeale who was the mandatory ,Whyte could not have been himself and he didn’t fight his final elimination bout until Rivas ,which was roughly just one year ago and he didn’t get reinstated until December of 2019 as the official mandatory.

Guy fights contenders, hard fights, beating them all, but still zero world title shots. Something is wrong here.

And he plans to fight Povetkin next, another tough fight with no world title on the line.

On the other hand, Pulev is getting his second world title shot.

If Whyte just looks who has got a world title shot in last years, he should start crying..

Whyte was offered a world title shot against AJ in April 2019 and he turned it down because he didn't like the terms of the rematch clause.
