Comments Thread For: WBC Prez is Firm: Wilder-Fury Winner Must Face Whyte Next

[OnlytheTruth]

If Joshua can KO Whyte and all you Fury fans think Fury will 'walk through' AJ, support this match up because Whyte's scalp on either of these resume's is a massive step up compared to the cherry picks they've faced before one another.

If Whyte is such a bum, it should be no problem for Fury or Wilder to get past him. All the confidence in the Fury/Wilder fan groups sounds a lot more like nervousness.

In the real world; any top 5 HW match-up will be a roll of the dice. Anything else is just opinion.

wilder was busy fighting #1 boxer in the world. Top 2 guys battling it out.

No one wanted to see whyte vs Wilder, whyte is c grade. Shyte was busy dodging title fights against AJ, stinking out the ring against wach, and getting dropped by low ranked midget rivas

The Ring now has Whyte above Wilder. So if Whyte is C Grade, what does that make Wilder?

And if Wilder is lower than Whyte, what does that do to the credibility of the Fury/Wilder fights?

[OnlytheTruth]

why is a known ped user no hoper being made a mandatory

Well, it seems that the WBC likes to line up known PED users for title shots...

Arreola
Stiverne
Wawrzyk
Molina
Povetkin
Ortiz
Fury

and now Whyte.

The only time Wilder fought the #1 ranked heavyweight in the world was Fury 2 and he got humiliated ..

Wilder was continuously offered the Whyte fight and turned it down saying publically he would make Whyte wait as long as possible and he would not fight him as people only wanted to use it as a benchmark to compare him to other fighters ................... which is the most true thing Wilder ever said.

Lol. Not even 40 year old dinosaur wach is scared of c grade hype job ***** whyte.

Whyte will run from this title fight at the last minute, just like he ran from his guaranteed title shot against AJ.

Because he knows he has no chance against any top 5 guy.

He's been chomping at the bit for years to get to this title fight...but somehow he will run from it now? You sound ******. Like I said, Wilder will continue to run from it and Fury has just started to run. I hope either of them is stripped for their cowardice

[Bob]

Nah, he was chasing that WBC strap cuz it was an easier fight, and still is.

Yawn.
I thought B.S was a serious publication devoid of fanboy's of the superior one.

Utter garbage.
Whyte ducked Ortiz for the mandatory spot. Whyte & Hearn chose they're own path.

[DougalDylan]

Whyte was never offered the manadatory slot for Ortiz they offered him an eliminator for a fight to the mandatory slot.

The best Whyte was offered was 10K vs Ortiz for the Wilder undercard, Ortiz and old man with a dodgy heart who has beaten only Bryan Jennings and has an awful Amateur record has turned down ppv fights vs Whyte and Joshua and that's from his trainer on the boxing voice.

Very true. Whyte is most definitely not my favourite either, but one can’t deny that Wilder’s continual refusal to fight him was very suspect. Whyte would have been his biggest payday at the time, and given him great exposure in no less than the second biggest boxing market in the world. Furthermore it would also have backed AJ into a corner by eliminating one of his options and increasing pressure from the UK public to fight Wilder, all while being a great improvement on Wilder’s ridiculous resume.

Wilder’s handlers saw what Fury saw when choosing to fight him - a massively limited fighter one step away from disaster. Fortunately for Fury however, Wilder mistakenly thought he shot and fell for the bait, while Whyte was left out to dry.

Wilder "avoided" Whyte for the same reason Fury "avoided" a Whyte fight for the "diamond belt", he's a trash talking ****head who is difficult to work with. Joshua made this abundantly clear in the run up to his first fight. I STILL dont get how you cherry pick a fighter twice.

Again British boxing "fans" being ****ing morons. And I say that as a Brit.

Yes, the Ring also had Joshua 4th this time last year. Hell, in the WTA rankings players like Serena Williams, Federer and Djokovic spent a lot of the time unranked. Are we going to pretend in that they were suddenly not better than the vast majority???

Rankings are rankings. End of the day, Joshua and Wilder have taken on great fighters and looked impressive doing it. Whyte has cheated, dodged fights, taken PEDs (twice) and still looks highly questionable in the ring. I feel his entire hype is purely based on being under Matchroom and Hearn, he would be hated if he was affiliated with Queensbury.
