Fûçk Hearn and Whyte. Why would wilder want to deal with them? So they can play games during the negotiations?

That seems a popular belief.....

I don't know what it is with Wilder and his fans but they have always seemed scared chitless of Dillian Whyte.

They hate Whyte, call him a loser, a bum a drug cheat, vile. If I hated a Boxer that much and was totally convinced my favourite Boxer knocks him out easy id wana see it.

But these guys don't, Wilder turned down a career high pay day to knock Whyte out and shut Whyte, Hearn and all of his fans up but he didn't, instead he text Whyte to tell him he was to be frozen out for 2 years and he was true to his word on that.

Its no good saying Wilder would knock Whyte out and in the same breath saying he shouldn't. It's no good Deontay Wilder saying it's easy work then turning down your highest ever payday and refusing to actually do it.

Wilder has claimed its all about getting the most money he can but then turns it down.

Stinks like scared to me.

Again, as a Brit. Why do we produce such dumbass fans like this?

Whyte is an irritating talker. Entertaining? Yes. But irritating all the same. People didn't like that he was being put in the way of a potential Wilder/Joshua clash back in 2018...because even back then no one saw Whyte as really worth anything in a matchup. It stunk of Eddie playing games (he was...with Whyte's career no less) and it was apparent to anyone that he was a highlight reel KO that would ultimately be deemed as another bum on Wilder's record akin to Breazeale.

His loss to Povetkin made it abundantly clear to anyone and everyone who wasn't the typical crowd of Brit based Hearn bumlickers that he is a shockingly poor fighter whilst lacking the kind of get-out clause that another technically poor fighter like Wilder has.

Whyte goes to sleep. Wilder would turn his head into mushy peas

Wilder's sole focus being Fury is contradicted by Sports Illustrated quoting a source 'familar with the discussions' that he is in preliminary talks to fight Charles Martin in Q1.

Also Finkel said this :

"If we can’t get the Fury fight, Deontay needs to be active. If it’s the worst case scenario, we are going to be prepared to get him back in the ring.”

Probably true to say his main focus is getting a rematch with Fury. Clearly not his only focus if he has a backup plan.

Fury avoided a rematch with Klistchko possibly because he feared immediately giving back the HW crown. He's already fought Wilder twice and did better the second time. The reason Wilder isn't getting the rematch is because he didn't want to fight in December and because he has been such a bad loser after the last fight. Wilder is his own worst enemy.

Is the bolded really so? You would have to be an idiot to plan your future career trajectory solely on the outcome of a civil suit.

Also, the December fight fell through because of the networks. This is well documented. I have no idea why people keep making up this bull**** about "wanting it". Its pretty clear that there was a clash with college football and this has been talked about here plenty of times. Why do people keep pushing this irritating narrative.

Real cool story sweetheart but what the hell does that have to do with anything I just said? Big mouth, easy win for Wilder and Wilder and his fans seem to enjoy seeing him get knocked out. So, why refuse to fight, get all defensive about freezing him out?

Why not just want and have the fight and enjoy the embarrassment of Whyte and his big mouth getting KTFO?

Is it just in case Whyte does it? Is they why they dont want it? Too much shame if Wilder gets sparked cold?

He wont do it though. I would bet my house on Whyte losing that fight. He has absolutely NOTHING technically to trouble Wilder. Jesus christ, I know boxing is a spectator sport but I really wish some of you would step in the ring or just take up the sport for a couple months. You would all come to realise just how bad Whyte is technically.

Would it have been a good fight to have? Yeah, probably. If I was Wilder I would have probably even have had encouraged it. But, I'm going to sit and pretend as if Wilder is somehow scared of Whyte of people. How ****ing deluded do you have to be to think that? I mean, he doesn't even pass the damn eye test.

You answer your own question in the next sentence.

Let me amend 'didn't want to fight in December' to 'didn't want to fight in July, August, September or October'

The fight was originally set to happen in the summer and Wilder cried off citing the need for surgery. The contract reportedly covered this contingency:a 90-day delay from the proposed date of the rematch in July.

The clock was ticking. Wilder did not push for his fight when he was contractually owed it. Are we supposed to think he really wanted it, but chose to wait until it was no longer contractually owed him before pushing for it? Why would anyone who actually wanted the fight do that?

The only reason I can think is greed. Faced with a choice of a legally sound claim on the rematch that was not going to be a big payday or ******** he could force a rematch at a later, more profitable date, he chose to gamble. And I don't think he will get it.

I bet he tries to low ball Wilder and then after he'll say "We offered him the fight but he declined!"
