    Can't cancel what wasn't already taking place, 200IQ.

    You must make a sacrifice to the Fury gods to get a fight with him, Whyte is unwilling.

    His views on mandatory covid passes are dystopian.

    You're right. Skelton made a career fighting for regional belts so he's clearly better than a guy fighting and beating top 15 level talent. Never mind every time Skelton stepped up to where Whyte regularly operates he gets knocked out.

    WBC has seriously stuffed Whyte over too many times, it’s actually surprising that Whyte hasn’t tried to go the WBA/IBF/WBO route in the last few years..

    If your medically able to get a vaccination but are still refusing it from an ideological perspective, It's ****ing idiotic. I agree with him.

    Refusing it for ideological reasons as long as they don't contradict personal medical necessity is perfectly fine and reasonable.

    He did try the IBF route when the IBF ordered a final eliminator between him and Pulev but they couldn't agree terms and then Hearn dropped the ball by losing the purse bid and so Whyte decided to fight Parker instead for a lot more money.

    But he definitely seemed more focused on going the WBC route. Probably because Wilder was seen as more beatable and also Hearn probably preferred he try and win the WBC belt and then unify with Joshua. Wouldn't shock me of Hearn lost the IBF purse bid on purpose.

    Whyte has a controversial "win" over Parker (it should have been a draw), and a close one against Rivas. That's it. Rivas himself has very thin credentials.
    Skelton was 42 years old before he suffered any stoppage defeat.

    Honestly, if Williams was around 15 years ago he'd fit right in with Skelton, Williams, Sprott and Harrison.

    Yes, a controversial win over Parker is better than anything Skelton has done. You dont get points for being old. He is what he is.

    That's a fair comment.
    But a few years from now Whyte will be getting sparked out by every Tom, Dick and Harry too.

    Hearn pretty much said that 100% next Whyte fight is for the WBC title, whether it's against Fury or that title will get vacated and Whyte will face Wilder.

    So there is no chicken out for Fury. He will either fight Whyte or vacate.
    I'm so happy with this outcome, as that chicken legs can't run of his mandatory.

    I'm pretty certain he will win this fight, the chances are probably 70-30.
    But mandatory are there for a reason, and there is no better fight for him than Whyte.

    Then fight AJ and Usyk and get an ***kicking of a lifetime and then the big fat ***** can retire into the sunshine !!!

    45% is too much to give Whyte. He wouldn't even get that much fighting guys that have done less in boxing.

    I love how 45% is too much for Whyte, but when it's Fury vs AJ, 50/50 is fair. Even though Fury had a fight in front of 5k fans 2 years ago hahaha. God a lot of you guys are dumb.

    Whyte isn't worth 45%. The cut should be 70-30 Fury or 65-35.
