    I don't need to see a third fight. Hope Whyte moves on to another challenge.

    Yeah, I think he immediately should fight with both: Fury and A.J and then add also Wilder.
    With eddie rematch clauses of course. Trilogies for test with each from these boxers.
    With Ruiz too trilogy.
    ASAP.

    The GGG fights were boring?

    Let me guess, Yildrim and Smith entertained you more?

    For what those fights were billed as, and coming in with reputation that GG had as some type of killer, yes, those fights were huge let downs

    Whyte beat the WBC interim champion, health status of Povetkin is him and his teams business, you enter the ring to fight then you are declaring yourself fit.

    For him it's Gatti-Ward or bust bro. So many so called 'superfights' are massive let downs. He's obviously a troll.

    The fight was a disgrace but when all is said and done, nobody forced Povetkin into the ring, as far as I know!

    The wbc president is close friends to Mr Haymon, and hates Whyte for the things he said. Dillian was a fool to take the first Povetkin fight. He's very much back to square 2 with numerous eliminators to win if he wants to get a shot at that green belt. Sulaiman suggested Whyte fight Deontay in eliminator, but you know he won't. And just like what happened with turning down the Ortiz and Breazale fights. Whyte will be lucky to get a title shot until 2024. He needs to go the other organization route. Well done bomb squad .

    I'd be shocked if povetkin doesn't call it a day now.

    Hes got to have made good money.

    I think you are right.
    But actually, I have less of an issue with Whyte having lost his mandatory status due to losing to Povetkin. That's on Whyte, not the WBC. He gambled to make some money, and lost.

    But..........the Breazeale situation was pure corruption.

    Technically Whyte never turned down Breazeale, and Ortiz was for some bull**** extra eliminator to become 2nd mandatory so the refusal was understandable.

    Let's roll it back:

    Stiverne (the WBC mandatory :risas3:) was forced into a final eliminator fight against Breazeale as part of a step-aside deal between Don King and Al Haymon to allow Wilder to fight Luis Ortiz.

    Unfortunately for Sullaiman, Whyte had already fought an eliminator against Chisora about 9 months BEFORE the above contract was signed.

    Then Ortiz popped dirty.:ambulance:

    So it got even worse when Breazeale was allowed to bypass Whyte and fight his eliminator against Eric Molina (another Don King fighter AND who was actually serving a UKad/WADA suspension:ambulance:) on the undercard of Wilder v Stiverne 2.

    Then it turned into farse when later Sulaiman declared Breazeale the mandatory without having to fight the final eliminator against Whyte, and tried to sideline Whyte further by ordering him to fight Ortiz for 2nd mandatory position.:pipi

    In the end (after Ortiz was given 2 voluntary title shots), Sulaiman had to relent on his bull**** and called the long overdue final eliminator between Breazeale and Whyte. But then a couple of days later Fury pulled out the Wilder rematch and Breazeale was made the mandatory again.

    All of this because of a dodgy deal between Don King and Al Haymon, and Breazeale being allowed to fight the suspended Eric Molina instead of the guy who had actually fought a legitimate eliminator: Dillian Whyte:deal:
