Dilian Whyte: cuckold, entitled and cowardly

Except he did fight eliminator against chisora. He also fought and won WBC interim title with a promise from wbc that winner is mandatory for Wilder.

 

He was literally melted.....................winning a fight until you lose the fight is not very relevant................when you lose, especially not in the manner he lost. As I said previously, credit to him he avenged his loss. That doesn't mean he deserves to retain a mandatory.

 

AJ is going to finish Usyk's career
Fury has ended Wlad, Wilder careers. AJ will follow.
Whyte will have his career ended by anyone dangerous he has to step up against again.

 

He was overdue a shot v Wilder while Wilder was champ according to the WBC rules.

 

Hrgović urgently needs an opponent, let those two fight...

 

It was Wilder who avoided fighting him. Fury is tied up in a pointless rematch absolutely no one wants to see.

 

Whyte was kind enough to cheer us all up during the height of the pandemic last year when he let Pov send him flying through the air with that sublime uppercut.

Give the man his shot.

 

Whyte vs ortiz and wilder will be another case of fights that never ever happened

 

The WBC ordered Whyte-Breazeale. Whyte could've beaten Breazeale and fought Wilder for the WBC title in 2019, but Whyte turned down the Breazeale bout.

Whyte could've had a rematch with Joshua for three belts in 2019 (when Miller blew his drug test), but Whyte turned down the offer.

Whyte could've become the WBC mando by beating Povetkin in their first fight in 2020, but he got knocked cold.

So he essentially turned down the opportunities presented to him to fight for all four belts in 2019 and got KOed in the one final eliminator he chose to particpate in last year.

At this point, I think he just prefers being known as a guy who was cheated.

 

I guess so but they never guaranteed the fight in the first place, just kept dismissing the arbitration as if it didn't pose a threat and were made to eat crow for it. I think everyone got ahead of themselves in that situation, but Team Fury really overplayed it.

 

That was an eliminator? News to me. If it were an eliminator, it mustn't have been a final eliminator for the mandatory spot because that wasn't on the line for certain.
Edit: I just checked and it wasn't a final eliminator, it seemed to be an eliminator to get the WBC Silver belt and a chance at fighting Ortiz in a final eliminator (which he ended up rejecting twice despite trying to say otherwise).

 

He also was ordered to fight Pulev for the IBF #1 mandatory spot - but he turned it down because he didn't want to be the B-side in the purse splits.

 

Ok i thought it was final eliminator.

Anyway interim championship makes you mandatory anyway

 

From what I remember yes they did mandate Whyte/Breazeale fight an eliminator for the mandatory spot while Wilder rematched Fury. But when Fury signed with ESPN and delayed the rematch with Wilder, the WBC decided to just let Wilder choose whichever of the two he wanted to face as his next mandatory. Unsurprisingly Wilder chose Breazeale despite him being ranked below Whyte at the time, so it wasn't a case of Whyte refusing to fight the eliminator it was the eliminator was scrapped and he was passed over.

The WBC then to appeased an obviously disgruntled Whyte was told to fight Rivas for the interim title which he assumed would make him the next mandatory as anyone would as an interim champion is usually created when a guy is deemed next in line. But the WBC being the sneaky buggers they are said that the interim belt didn't mean he was mandatory.

He was technically WBC mando before Povetkin from what I remember wasn't he? It's hard to keep up, the WBC keep changing their story, one moment he's mandatory, then he's not, then he is again.

He definitely could of fought Joshua but he was making good money without a title and if he was to risk a loss then he wanted to be paid very well and of course that back fired with the Povetkin loss.
