Comments Thread For: Hearn Wants Whyte-Povetkin II To Happen in Late November, Explains Why

[champion4ever]

Even you don't believe this crap.

Fact, proof and history!

[Rayzah]

Same results. Whyte is just to sloppy and makes constant mistakes and is always open for counter. Povetkin is just a tad bit to crafty for this guy, experience wins this fight.

Note sure that will suit Povetkin.

At this stage, Povetkin might need a bit of rest before going back into camp. Moreover, a 3-month gap before going into camp means Whyte would gain weight and will then have to loose it again. Povetkin is always in shape. So, Povetkin should be targeting February.

November is way to soon. Shyte should take a solid 30 days of rest with no training of any kind.

Greedy Hearn is just trying to regain that mandatory spot as soon as possible.

[Zelda]

Does the mandatory position keeps moving around like a football or will the #1 ranked boxer have to fight the #2 (or whoever is willing/available) to re-establish the mandatory position. I guess Mauricio and the board will have to decide but no way they will enforce that before Fury-vs-AJ if those two are ready.

I would like the winner of Whyte-Povetkin to fight either Andy Ruiz Jr or Dubois for that mandatory position which should be enforced in early 2022 if AJ and Fury fight back to back in 2021.

Povetkin won and he should reap the rewards of his victory. If Whyte had won there would be no rematch. I hope Povetkin knocks him out again.

povetkin should tell "fast eddie" to screw off there is no way povetkin should fight that lardass again

[Shadoww702]

Would he be cleared medically to be able to fight in November doe? Currently his licence would be suspended. He suffered a heavy KO. Head bouncing off the canvas. He would need to spar, train etc For November that would be impossible.

$$$$ makes everything happen.

Povetkin didn’t have a belt nor risk anything,Whytes stipulated rematch was giving Povetkin a chance to get his spot .

[SHOOTALLCLOWNS]

I wonder if Povetkin had a rematch clause if he lost ? He obviously didn't after getting KTFO by Joshua.

Why should Whyte have one for a mandatory slot ? There's some fast Eddie BS going on here.

It should be next in line on the rankings to challenge Povetkin for the mandatory position unless he wants to wait it out for the shot at whoever is left standing after Pulev, Wilder and Usyk.

Whyte should get shuffled to the back of the pack after such a humiliating loss and earn his way back to the top, like Parker is.

Fast Eddie giving whyte a free ride back to relevancy makes a mockery of rankings and mandatory slots.

Imagine if he does this for Usyk should he lose to Chisora ?

In that scenario, an unproven heavyweight by way of a champion stepping up a division gets 2 bites at a mandatory position he never earnt in the first place as a legit heavy ?

A promoter enforcing a rematch for a mandatory is a slippery precedent to set and really needs to be in the governing body's jurisdiction to authorize, not the promoters!

I'd like to see team Povetkin challenge the rematch clause...

povetkin had no power to demand a rematch clause against aj he was the b side the challenger. same thing with whyte who was the house fighter and povetkin again the b side. the sanctioning bodies and their rankings have been a joke and laughing stock long before eddie hearn came on the scene. povetkin and his team obviously agreed to the rematch clause other wise he wouldn't have signed to fight whyte in the first place.
