    When I sober up will Whyte still be WBC Interim Champion?

    Will Whyte still be exonerated and cleared from any and all PEDs use?

    Will Wilder still be the laughing stock of the forum?

    Will Wilders PPV sales still be less than Whytes???

    Ill double check tomorrow morning

    In all seriousness what’s wrong with you? White is a contender, he could have fought and won an eliminator to be Wilders mandatory, but he didn’t. He’s looking for a hand out that isn’t coming. If he wants the fight go win the mandatory, if not he’ll get it when he gets it, I guess. I doubt anybody is going out of their way to help a guy who doesn’t even respect his opponents or the sport enough to not cheat.

    Calm yourself, child. It's obvious business sense. By even acknowledging Whyte, a vastly inferior attraction to Joshua, PBC would be reducing Wilder's leverage in the Joshua discussions. The idea is to negotiate with Hearn as an equal as much as possible, so they aren't going to talk about his No. 2. What kind of imbecile are you, thinking that promoters look at individual belt rankings rather than the amount of money in the fight. (Keeping in mind what I've already explained to you vis a vis Hearn/Joshua/Whyte.)

    Second, you don't make any sense. The winner of Fury/Wilder needs to fight Joshua in 2020 and no one else. I fear we're going to get Fury/Wilder III, but I'm holding out hope. Regardless, Wilder vs Whyte would be a huge disappointment to everyone other than a few of Whyte's fanbois. That's especially true after his abysmal performance last weekend. Ortiz would have wrecked that version of Whyte. You're asking a victorious Wilder to take not one but *two* steps back to fight Whyte.

    Now, if Wilder loses to Fury then a fight against any of Whyte, Ruiz or Usyk would be fine. You understand at that point Wilder would no longer be WBC champion and thus not be tethered to its mandatories, right? It's weird to me that you are obsessed with Wilder when he's slightly likely to be displaced by Fury as champion in two short months. Shouldn't you be more concerned with Fury?

    More than Wilder/Joshua???!! If PBC and Matchroom work together, it's for Wilder/Joshua. But if Wilder loses, then maybe so and I think Whyte would make for a good opponent.

    Why do you write this?
    Whyte turning down an offer to face Joshua has nothing to do with Wilders title or that fight

    I sincerely hope that I misunderstood your posts and you were not trying to make an argument for Whyte to be ranked higher than Wilder and Fury based on the # of ppv sells. Cause if you did, It’d be the most moronic comment that’s ever made on a boxing forum.

    Wilder and Fury are fighting for the top spot because they’re the #1 and #2 HWs on the Ring and TBRB, #1 and #3 on the ESPN. Just FYI, TBRB is completely independent and have no reason to be biased for any fighter.

    Just like Trevor Bryan.

    Bryan's been interim champ forever. When oh when is Joshua going to fight him? It's a scandal, I tell you. A scandal!

    People are entitled to their opinions.

    I think it is fair to say that if you consider that Whyte has had 28 fights and in those 28 fights has fought -
    Joshua
    Browne
    Parker
    Chisora
    Helenius
    Rivas
    Chisora again,

    Its not a bad run at all


    If you also consider that Wilder didnt contest a world title until his 33rd fight and Wilders fight before contesting a title was against a fighter who had lost to Wach, who Whyte just fought, I think it is fair to think that some may hold Whyte in higher esteem.

    I would also guess that if Wilder beat Parker that some would consider it his best win?

    He either won't or can't understand why Wilder/Fury II is an infinitely more marketable fight than Wilder/Whyte. Nor will he acknowledge that the winner can make the most money fighting Joshua, if they can get it done. The only reason to discuss anyone other than Joshua is if the Wilder/Fury winner can't work it out with Matchroom. And, obviously, if they can't work it out with Matchroom, that means a Whyte fight is unlikely to happen. Because Hearn lords over Joshua so much, it indirectly hurts Whyte. His only title shot will be against Joshua, if he can get it.

    People are entitled to their opinions, and other people are entitled to ridicule those opinions. Whyte doesn't have any win as good as Ortiz, he has been KTFO, and he most recently showed up to a fight disguised as a moose and looked horrid. He needs to fight Ruiz, *that* would be worth watching.

    I have questioned their ratings on here before and havent looked at them recently so was not aware that they had them in that order but it makes sense to me as it is an American magazine and I would guess it would like its champion to be from the same country, so by putting them at 1 and 2 respectively (if that is the case) and knowing there is talk of them fighting next, there is a chance that the winner could be from the same country as the magazine. I guess that would make working with that fighter easier (ie photos, interviews etc). Of course this is no more than me speculating and not a fact by any means but something I have thought about when looking at their ratings and up coming fights in the past
