    As we saw yesterday, Dillian Whyte is not invincible.

    Will someone explain why Deontay Wilder is afraid of facing Whyte? Why are Wilder's handlers like Haymon reluctant to make this fight, since it will make some good money?

    I've never been that impressed with Whyte.

    It makes no sense that Wilder would be "afraid" of Whyte when he has fought someone far better and far more troubling to him in Fury. No one cares about Wilder/Whyte except a few zealots on boxing boards & Twitter.

    You forgot that he's about to fight the best guy in the division for the second time.

    I'll believe it when I see it.

    Fury isn't the best in the division anyway, Anthony Joshua is. He's the unified heavyweight champ.

    But he lost the first time around and the draw was gifted to him ... He is about to fight Fury, simply because he is feather fisted.
    And Fury is not the best. He beat an old and faded Klitschko and then escape from the rematch, like a pleague.
    I`m 10000000% sure that Joshua will KO Fury and it won`t be even funny.

    Because he's a non-entity in the United States. He's known for being an AJ KO victim, nothing more, and let's be honest, aside from KOing to decrepit old fighters, his best wins are all controversial.

    Hearn kept making Whyte the guy Wilder had to fight before he could fight Joshua which Wilder said no to... Those type of negotiations is what held the fight up for years... Hearn wanted to use Whyte as a measuring stick on how Joshua could deal with Wilder then Joshua got destroyed by the Blob which threw a Fly in the Ointment of the whole Joshua Supremacy Theory...

    But if Fury dominated as you say and Wilder were afraid of fighters, Fury is the guy he should avoid. I also disagree with you about Fury/Joshua.

    Joshua isn't No. 1 because he got KTFO six months ago by a walking sausage. I give him all respect for his performance last night and he has the best overall resume, but getting starched by Ruiz is a black mark on his record. But I'll put him ahead of the Feb. loser in position No. 2.

    It's all just talk. The winner of Fury/Wilder II needs to fight Joshua. No more BS.

    It was Slave Master Hearn!!!

    He kept putting in every contract sent to Wilder that Wilder had to fight Whyte first then Joshua!!! Hearn wanted to use Whyte as a measuring stick to help Joshua train for Wilder not to mention making Wilder go into the Spiders Nest in London! Like fighting a fully Roided Povetkin in Mother Russia, just as shady, just as crooked but because it's in the UK it's OK! Same people who say it's ok will criticise Russia for using the same tactics!
