If Whyte loses this fight will happen he have nowhere else to go

I think Dubous KOs Whyte. He has the same style as AJ.

If he loses I think a lot of fighters will chase him as they'll see him as a name and an easier touch. Ortiz, Wilder and Ruiz will suddenly become interested.

If Whyte loses Dubois Whyte would be a good fight.

Again, Warren is putting this fight between Whyte and Dubois out there just to get Whyte out of Furys way. Don't be fooled by this. Whyte is the WBC mandatory and Fury is going to have to deal with him or vacate. Period. They are going to be allowed to duck him like Wilder did for all those years.

I think Whyte is a little too easy to hit for someone with Dubois's power. Be a cracking fight, but I see Dubois wobbling Whyte and not letting him off the hook. Very unlikely match-up though.

Agreed! I think Dubois is the next flag bearer for the HW division, as long as he isn't rushed.

Makes sense, but you must beat 2 guys first.

Whyte is B league ruler, he fights all guys that already lost to Joshua or are not interesting for Joshua. If you beat Whyte, you probably get shot on Joshua.

Daniel seems like a guy who will go down any route to get to where he wants.. you can't fault that mentality although could have a few slip ups along the way...

He doesn't seem like a bloke who will sit and let 1000 days pass and turn every other opportunity to be champion down in hope of an easy route or a belt drop...

So here we go again. What’s wrong with going for the easier touch in Wilder if you think you can win and then strengthen your negotiating position with AJ? Fury turned down a Matchroom deal, bet big on himself to go the Wilder route and look how well that worked for him - yet you’re crapping on Whyte for doing the same?

And “every other opportunity” is disingenuous - he only turned down that one opportunity against AJ, which was for less money than offered to Miller, who Hearn was negotiating with all along. Do you seriously think that was even a serious offer to Whyte - fighting a fellow Brit for AJ’s big American debut, which DAZN had made a big push for?

It’s always fascinating to see you weasel onto multiple threads, spouting the same nonsense with impunity, despite being repeatedly challenged and offering no meaningful comeback.
