Big fights take time to be built. There was no rush for canelo v golovkin, no rush for ward v kovalev. Theres no pressure on spence and thurman to fight early next year, no pressure on davis to fight lomachenko.
Yet less than a week has passed since wilder last fought, and the pitchforks are out because hearn and joshua havent announced the fight yet. Posters who preach patience for other prospective match ups are acting like hungry spoilt kids in a sweet shop.
The funny thing is only one of the fighters has a track record of getting in the ring with a dangerous opponent (in half the fights of the other guy), yet nsb logic is to blame him for being a ducker and not the guy whos fought noone in almost 40 fights!
Youre all so defensive about the whyte fight but its obvious hearn wants that as a precursor to build the fight up in the UK. Whytes nothing special so it should be easy for wilder to win for a nice easy payday. Win win.
The honest truth is wilder is relatively unknown over here, people forget that in UK time his fights are airing at 4am and obviously noone in there right mind would get up at that time to watch him blast out these slobs. I bet a majority of fans over here havent actually watched him fight and none of them will have heard of any of the guys hes fought. why would they get up early to watch him fight people like duhuapus and washington? If he comes over here at peak time and beats whyte, a guy whos no world beater but people are familiar with, its going to get the UK fans even more interested. And like it or not, they are the fans who are going to be bringing the money for this fight.
I dont think wilders ducking whyte at all but its bizarre hes not interested. It just seems a trend with some of these haymon fighters, they'd cut their nose off to spite there face. They dont seem to have any awareness of how to promote themselves or, more than likely, its just an ego thing and they feel like promotion is beneath them, despite a lack of popularity.
Im pretty sure hearn and joshua have said they want the fight next year so whats all the fuss about? I'd imagine it will happen late on in the year. People need to calm down. And wilders barking dog routine is going to look even more ridiculous when he announces breazeale as his next opponent.
