Whyte talks a lot, but doesn't perform that good as he pretends when talking. He can simply be b*tch and reject fighting AJ after his Franklin fight, thus ruining his plans.
Who is protecting who? Hearn is protecting AJ? Come on man...Whyte is hardly a tougher opponent than Franklin. AJ just fought Usyk twice who would murder Whyte. Whyte is arguing like they're ducking him. Why should they duck Dillian Whyte in 2023? He's done.
you said they protect him? who is protecting who? they gonna push towards a ngannou fight who is probably the biggest high risk/low reward fight on planet earth for aj. if he loses his career is COMPLETLY done. franklin is actually a good opponent imo. better than whyte!
so he's not protecting him? i don't get your argument. first he protects him, now he's cashing out...franklin isn't a cash out fight. even ngannou isn't one tbh. fury would be a cash out fight. or wilder.
Whyte is holding out for a big fight. You really think the version of Whyte who lost to Fury and probably Franklin too is a danger to the version of AJ who looked improved against Usyk 2? Not at all. Joshua would KTFO Whyte again.
I sort of don't understand the dynamics. Wouldn't AJ vs Ngannou be bigger than Fury vs Ngannou? What about AJ vs Fury, would that one really be bigger in financial terms than AJ vs Ngannou?
Don't blame Whyte here. Point of this thread is that Whyte is being weirdly mistreated by Eddie/DAZN despite being one of their 'biggest' stars. It's not about whether you think Whyte is a bellend or not. I don't think Whyte would have a problem with AJ-Franklin if AJ-Whyte 2 was locked in, but bizarrely it isn't. I think AJ is being protected until a Wilder/Fury cashout Looking back at it all, as someone who hated AJmania 2016-2018, who hated how Fury in exile was mistreated, who hated how AJ-Ruiz 1 was whitewashed, who was convinced Usyk would be robbed twice... I've got everything I've wanted, but it really does show how poorly AJ has been handled by Matchroom in less than 5 years. Yes, he was a hypejob operating while Fury ate Big Macs, but to see his career crash and burn like this is mad. I don't think non-UK natives understand how the tides have turned. AJ will have gone from fighting on Sky in front of millions to fighting on DAZN in front of a few tens of thousand. Absolutely mad
Whyte is finished and doesn't deserve another chance, a fight with Parker would be ideal right now considering both have stagnated...
