Comments Thread For: DiBella: Wilder vs. Whyte To Get Joshua is Stupid, Whyte Irrelevant!

[N/A]

It's arguable that Chisora is better than Stiverne.

When was Chisora universally recognized as the #3 heavyweight in the world like Stiverne was?

When did Chisora hold the #1 belt in boxing like Stiverne did?

Just get it in the contract that once he beats whyte then AJ would be the next fight and get this **** over with. Or the other option seems popular nowadays, keep whining and crying and then sit out for about a yr and then come back with a tuneup against a corpse and repeat until your dumbass understands that theirs always gonna be obstacles in life, conquer them and move on. Geesh i am starting to believe the hype is by far out weighing the entertainment value the fight itself will bring. Dibella is a blow hard. Keep promoting fighters off consistant long layoffs and stfu

Joshua is nobody in the states. There's a reason why he won't fight in the states, because Hearn knows he won't fill any arena in Vegas. UK fighters will always draw more at home because the UK is a lil bigger population wise than California. Joshua could walk down Hollywood Blvd and nobody would know who he is.

Joshua is a star in the UK, and Wilder has a small fan base in the U.S. The fight only makes sense on British pay-per-view and on Showtime.

I agree that beating Whyte makes the fight bigger - people in the UK know Whyte because he's a Joshua opponent. But the fight isn't super necessary.

They are trying to sell the fight to a UK casuals. Joshua just beat the biggest name in America (even though he's German). Obviously Wlad is bigger in the U.S. than Wilder by a landslide.

And I'm saying this agreeing I think they should just have Joshua-Wilder in the UK next. But beating Whyte helps to sell the fight - there is no question.

the hate wilder gets on here is unfair and stupid

whyte just went life and death with chisora , he gets knocked out by wilder

wilder wants aj next or as wilders cornerman said on thaboxingvoice, he would fight whyte if aj was guaranteed in the contract next

Whyte is better than old, faded inactive Stiverne, and mediocre Breazeale and Jennings. He'd probably beat Parker too.

Wilder would never take on someone decent like Takam or Pulev either, and he's avoided Ortiz and Povetkin.

How's Wilder avoided them they FAILED drugs tests. Therefore the fights couldn't happen. By your logic AJ is ducking Pulev cause Pulev got injured. Your clearly an AJ fan boy 🙄🙄🙄

LOL exactly Chisora is a ****ing gatekeeper.

WAY more people in the US have been watching Wilder's fights in recent years than Wladimir's. Wilder has had multiple fights with MILLIONS of viewers. Wladimir's viewership was nowhere close to that.

By denouncing Whyte as irrelevant, DiBella just took a huge dump on Wilder's record, which is built on lesser fighters.

If you're going to talk ****, don't throw your guy under the bus while you're at it.
