Dillian Whyte is not the "Can Man"

He wants a big pay day and if that means waiting it out then so be it. I reckon he knows deep down he gets banjoed again against AJ.

If I was him I’d take the brezeale fight which makes him wbc number 1 and gives him more bargaining power.

Wins over browne/Parker/chisora were good but none of were an eliminator. He whinges so much about being avoided but why not fight brezeale or pulev and become wbc or ibf no 1’s then people can’t run forever.

 

Yes I became a fan of whyte but the blatant duck of Joshua has exposed him. Haymon won't let the brezeale fight happen nor does it make sense for Dominic to take that fight. The only realistic credible fights for whyte are pulev and povetkin. Should've took the aj fight but he didn't want to get George grovesd for £5m

 

He beat a single top ten contender via headbutt. His resume is fraudulent.

 

it makes a lot of sense or CENTS into dollars for Breazeale because he makes more in a U.K fight vs Whyte then a Barclays non PPV against Wilder who , let's be real IF he makes it to Breazeale that's a year away again.

Breazeale himself actually is more risky for Whyte who stands to lose everything he's worked for in all the fights he's won. Breazeales is no walk over ,people think wins magically happen haven't actually watched Breazeales fights. He may be slow and hittable but that guy people say can't box is an Olympian who is a top finisher if he hurts you.

 

Agreed, good post. His ego is clouding his judgement. Whyte will end up looking very silly if he goes and loses to the likes of Breazeale or Povetkin. He can kiss goodbye to being a PPV headliner if that happens and a world title shot will be even further from his grasp.

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

 

I genuinely do not think any HWs are scared to fight any other heavyweights. These men fight for a living and do not give a **** about getting hurt. The only think that gets in the way is money or politics. If Whyte gets 10m to fight AJ he snaps his hand off. He isn't going to fight unbeaten for years to get to AJ and then duck him. He obviously thinks he is worth more than being offered, I personally wouldn't consider that a duck.

 

If fighters declined fights based on self worth , no fights would get made.

is it a duck ? No , Its not a unification or undisputed.

is it an avoidance ? Yes , he thinks he's worth more but the fight is there to take.

 

I hate the whole gambling narrative that Hearn is peddling because Whyte turned down the aj fight, if he was gambling he would of taken the short money to fight aj.

He’s become a ppv star and big part of it was his journey to fight aj well it’s not happened.

 

So what happens when the WBO make him mando on 80/20 split ? Is he going to turn it down because he feels he's worth more ?

 

He said he will fight anybody, *as long as the fight makes sense for rankings and financially*.

Maybe you didn't hear that part, now you have, and he has said it a million times.

Why he didn't bite AJ's hand off? Because this is what AJ said to him:

AJ: Yo Dillian, what's crackin
Dillz: Bruv you're an idiot. Why take you so long to start negotiations?? It's January you fool.
AJ: Doesn't matter listen.. I'm offering you 5 Million, and on the rematch I get 70/30 split if your arse is lucky to win
Dillz: That's bull****, Hearn how much estimated revenue
HearnyBaby: Bout 30 Millz mate
Dillz: I get less than 20 per cent? And 30 on a rematch??????
AJ: Yeah and if you beat me twice you get 35 per cent for a trilogy.
Dillz: But there isn't a trilogy in that case...
AJ: Fine you get 37.5 on trilogy.
HearnyBaby: Faxing you the contract now Dillz
Dillz: Good, I'm out of toilet paper.

 

Yes Dillian refusing the AJ fight for a career high payday was egotistical duck.

I think Whyte fancies his chances going the WBC route against Brezeale then Wilder or fury (I'd back Whyte to wins against any of those 3) instead of a AJ rematch.

 

How could you back Whyte to beat Fury?

 

I wouldn’t call him a PPV star. He’s certainly in that category of fighter whereby if you get him the right dance partner it would go on PPV, much like Wilder. But as things stand, only Canelo and Joshua are true PPV stars.

(Yes, I know Canelo is now on DAZN)

 

I favour Whytes hook to come up trumps against Furys suspect chin.

Plus add the Whyte sparring stories against Tyson Fury ( I know we should take training stories with a pinch of salt) plus Hughie turning down offers to fight Whyte.
