Why is Wilder so scared of Whyte?

Whyte can't be bullied. He doesn't have a shell to retreat into unlike Molina or Washington.

 

Whyte would wreck him.

 

Whyte really isn't good, I don't know where this notion has come from. he constantly calls people out and then fights no one of note. He even wanted 1M for a Chisora rematch, a fight which pretty much everyone thinks he lost in the first place.

 

He is scared to fight him because even though Whyte is not the best boxer in the world, Whyte has a live chance of a) punching him, and b) sparking him

 

Whyte made the mistake of wobbling Joshua.

 

You basically described Wilder but instead he wanted 7M for a Whyte fight.

 

Exactly. Wilder's handlers know he's packing glass, which is why they avoid fighting live bodies - to keep him vertical, and keep this illusion going that he has "devastating" power.

Devastating to carnival fat men, bar drunks and cab drivers perhaps -- but against real fighters, Wilder's lack of real power and complete lack of a chin would be exposed.

Which is exactly why he won't face guys like Whyte.

 

Dillinger has lately been fighting some tough nuts like Tann, Lewison and Bacurin. Wilder does not like that, what Wilder wants is: guys who have only fought once in two years, part-time boxers, or boxers who have mainly been involved in ball games.

 

I think a million isn't a ridiculous request considering he knows a) it'll be another punishing affair and b) it'll generate massive interest after the first fight was such a barnburner.

I agree though, he's no world beater which makes it all the more baffling that Wilder didn't jump at the chance to face him for such good money. I can only think he was a bit worried about Dillian's out of ring behaviour and was worried him and his goons wouldn't be able to go around jumping people shouting Bomb Squad!

 

Whyte rocked Joshua and Wilder has frequent nightmares about AJ so in turn he's fearful of Whyte.

Wilder would rather feast on the likes of Buffet (pun intended) until a cash out day against Joshua.

 

Browne, Miller, Wilder, Helenius, Charles Martin.... All ducked Whyte.

 

That's the thing, Whyte shook Joshua with a shot that would have had Wilder out cold and that scares him.

 

Counter left hook, pretty much the exact same shot Molina shook Wilder with, probably gives Bombzquad PTSD.
