Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Could Face Another Opponent While Waiting For Povetkin

[Gunitsmith]

Dillan gets a lot of flak,but he will fight anyone. The Povetkin fight was a huge risk that didn't pay off. But how many other fighters today are willing to risk a mandatory spot with a dangerous fight? While his skills may lack pedigree,at least he is a risk taker. That is something the sport of boxing is sorely lacking.
Today's fighters play it safely as possible waiting on a large payday. Almost every single one of them.
We fans should support those like Whyte,who win or lose,is willing to lay it on the line. Peace.

It would be an idiotic decision by Whyte to fight any of these while waiting for February or March fight. For one, I doubt that anyone of them would accept the fight on 4 weeks notice. Secondly, even if Whyte wins these fights will take a lot out of him and he needs to fight Povetkin anyway, is he going to push this out into the summer? Who knows what will happen by them. I wouldn't advise him to take any fight at this stage, let alone with Wilder.

I kind of like Whyte's attitude, shame it's not on par with his ability....

Who we want Dillian to fight

Deontay Wilder
Joseph Parker
Michael Hunter
Joe Joyce
Andy Ruiz
Luis Ortiz

Who Dillian will actually fight

Frank Sanchez
Hughie Fury
Bogdan Dinu
Carlos Takam
Marco Huck

Hughie fury or takam would be good even fights for whyte. 50/50.

We'll see him fight another d grade boxing bag, like wach, Lucas browne.

Browne 2 would be ideal, that's a guaranteed highlight reel ko, for even the worst fighter.

Let me guess but you were ok with Ortiz fighting the 176th heavyweight in the world as a headliner last time.

I'm hoping for Ortiz or Wilder but I suspect both will turn it down again.

Same way he was oh so willing to fight Ortiz or even Breazeale. I dont mind Dillian Whyte but this idea that he's some take on all comers fighter is just wrong.

[Corelone]

Whyte needs a fight before he can rematch the guy who knocked him out, but does the new guy get a rematch claus too? Whyte could develop a rematch deficit.

Luis Ortiz is your huckleberry, Shyte.

Don't duck him this time.

Yeah, that one ain't happening!

[Tecnoworld]

Whyte vs Joyce plz, so we get rid of whyte forever
