Comments Thread For: Hearn: Wilder-Whyte is Big Draw, But Whyte Must Beat Povetkin First

[Hands of Stone]

You don’t need to be an elite boxer to put serious hands on Wilder..just look at the rounds he routinely gives away against journeymen like Szpilka and Duhaupas before his power bails him out late. Washington was no worse than even on the scorecards going into the round he got knocked out in FFS.

Fortunately for Wilder, those journeymen had no power, but Whyte is an entirely different ballgame and arguably has the best left hook and body punching in the division. I hate to use triangle theory, but Whyte’s victim Chisora destroyed Szpilka in 2 rounds while Charles Martin ended Washington in 6, which just puts into context the awful quality of Wilder’s opposition. There’s a reason why he didn’t fight his mandatory against Whyte for what was then a career high payday.

Again Wilder absolutely destroys Whyte. All those guys you mention actually respected Wilder's power and didn't engage him head on. White will actually try to put pressure on him and I think i heard him saying before and for that reason, and his lack of movement due to his bulk, he gets absolutely flattened brutally if i may add. As for why he didnt fight Whyte, my guess is it was more or an ego thing (more like hes not on my level and got bigger fish to fry). He couldn't have been be too scared if he is calling him out now that he's every vulnerable and his confidence seem taken by Fury.

Both are flawed certainly but unless Wilder actually uses his own jab, Whyte is going to dominate at least all of the early rounds with his. Wilder had the bomb for sure but delivering that bomb with a jab in his face is a problem.

Wilder actually has a decent jab with some reach on it so he would be jabbing as well causing Whyte some issues. Whyte's lack of head and body movement coupled with his bravery will be his downfall. If you think Povetkin KO was bad, Wilder KO of Whyte will be 10 times devastating.

Whyte vs wilder would easily do Joshua Povetkin numbers, uk alone it would be a 50 million dollar fight. Don’t see much better for wilder out there any time soon and I think he beats whyte and increases his value vs Joshua if he does ever make that fight.

Whyte and Wilder would be a helluva event. The pre-fight buildup would be awesome.

Fight really could go either way. Knock Whyte all you want but he has some decent wins on his resume (even if there may be an asterisk aside them). He is powerful, will try to bring it and is vulnerable. In his losses to AJ and Povetkin he had them hurt before getting starched.

Wilder has power, but his best win still is Ortiz. Ortiz only win of note is Jennings (who also lost to Rivas whom Whyte defeated...with an asterisk).

I imagine Whyte would probably bring it until he gets sparked by Wilder (who I think is easy to hurt but actually hard to KO). Of course all of this is premature since Whyte still has to face Povetkin again. If Wilder faces Helenius, I would imagine he smashes the Nordic Nightmare. If he throws and doesn't clip Robert, he may be on the receiving end of a mule-kick counter. Regardless, fight ends early and violent. Man do I love boxing!

Eeeeh? why not would be interesting to see however Whyte has the obstacle off getting revenge first on povetkin IF he can beat him in a rematch..

What makes you think that’s how Whyte will engage him? Besides, Wilder can’t fight backwards and has no head movement whatsoever while Whyte at least tries to slip punches. The point is any remotely capable fighter is able to put hands on Wilder..just look at his beat up face after Duhaupas and tell me that Duhaupas didn’t engage him that fight.

Bigger fish to fry? This argument would wash if Wilder wasn’t facing the likes of Washington and Brezeale instead. Even Ortiz wasn’t a bigger fry than Whyte in terms of popularity and monetary value, and has done nothing to prove he’s even a better fighter, so your explanation here doesn’t really make sense.

Calling Whyte out and actually fighting him are two different things - Wilder had the power to make that fight at any time he wished but didn’t. Actions are louder than words.

Nobody cares about wilder fury 3. Maybe only you.

You sound ****ing ******. With all this controversy, this will be the current biggest fight in boxing when it happens. You will just pretend like you never fixed your fingers to type this goofy nonsense.

Now the real bottomline is nobody believes Whyte is even on any top Heavyweights level. The big mouth chump has Povetkin problems. Lol...Who else at the top would have Povetkin problems? Povetkin had Michael Hunter problems. **** out of here clown prince of the UK.

Stfu crackhead
Angry about something cornball?

You actually believing the crap wilder said, nobody wants wilder to get another payday for the disgrace lies he has told about Joshua and fury STFU gutter trash, the third fight will be bigger than the first two you UK hick.

Wilder will never fight fury again, he ducked him and waited until the contract expired and fury walked away to begin spreading his lies pretending to have wanted the fight The fact that you can make something up and start to believe it makes you insane. The proper term is delusional. Get proper medical attention.

Fury took wilders soul, unreal idiots like you exist that believe wilder lol Then it should be easy work for Fury why is he ducking the fight post glove gate?

Wilder even admitted he ducked Joshua by rejecting more money

Lol...Joshua is fighting Pulev after getting destroyed by barely top ten fighter Andy Ruiz. What were you saying about him again? Hopefully he is not running from Pulev. That could be the worst look ever. Wake Whyte up bro, they need to break down the ring.

We , meaning Wilder fan girls . The rest of boxing fans want AJ vs Fury .

Lol... Lil bitty Wedreamer your punk @ss is back? Thought you were going to think bigger than being a website bot for a sport you don’t know sh@t about? Guess old habits like failure are tough to kick?

Had Fury defeated Wilder again which is unofficially number 3 ,it would be interesting how you cope. We would have had to put you on suicide watch ,another one . Ha

One step at a time badteeth vs bad breath. First we have to get Fury’s cheating @ss back in the ring. He been looking shaky since he realized people would be forever watching for his magical gloves and that Boar Ball consumption habit. Think his new look is called trapped rat? Btw- Is he even licensed in the UK.

Lol... Btw Bit@h a$$ motha ****a reality check... you are a boxingscene BOT. You must be as broke and shattered as 1st grade pencil led. How the ladies loving that job title over your limited provided McNuggets?

We know the mental breakdown is coming. Man can only go with out a woman for so many 5 years. Bro to be honest... we are not sure how you made it this far. Sleep is good when it is an escape. ��
