Those calling Whyte a bum..... Apart from Ortiz, who on Wilder's resume, is better than Whyte? (Ortiz beating Whyte is debateable too).
I just told you. According to my ratings, he wouldn't be a mandatory and neither would Whyte. The only guy Wilder should fight is Joshua, and vice versa. If they aren't going to fight each other, who freaking cares who they fight next? Everyone else being mentioned has already lost anyway. Throw their names in a hat and pick one out.
He didn't have to warrant anyone you imbecile..Martin challenged him! Hearn didn't even want t the Klitchko fight Joshua did and his own trainer said it was 3 fights too soon...If you knew how boxing works you could figure this out! Joshua has already fought mandatories as well you fool! Though he may be busy with actual unified title fights right? Lol Which is Joshua took on a far better fighter in 19 fights Klitchko instead of anyone else available... are you really this dense?
If Joshua won't fight him, Wilder has plenty of opponents to fight. There are no barriers to 50-0 on that WBC list. He just has to work the list. He can get there in three and a half to four years.
Wilder said he'll fight Joshua for any purse split if Joshua agrees (should he lose) to take the same split in the return. Wilder has agreed to accept anything they offer, so long as they take the same deal WHEN THEY LOSE. If Joshua wins, there's no rematch. So, no problem for Hearn and Joshua. Easy negotiation. All Joshua has to do is win the first fight, like he's won the first fight every time he's fought someone else, and there won't be any rematches. But Joshua and Hearn won't go for that because they aren't confident they'll win the first fight. So who is ducking? The guy who is confident he'll win and is willing to accept any amount to prove it ... or the guy who isn't sure he'll win and wants the most money even if he gets his head caved in and loses all his belts?
Joshua and Hearn won't even SIGN for a fight with Povetkin in Russia. If the fight is in Russia, Hearn says they'll dump the belt of the org mandating it.
So Wilder should just continue focusing on the WBC. Wilder will be 50-0 with 17 successful defenses before Joshua even has 30 fights. And maybe he gets a Tyson Fury fight in there as well. By that point, Joshua will be an afterthought ... or serving a PED suspension ... or both.
If Wilder get's to 50-0 without a unification fight, he isn't relevant. Why is Tyson/Lewis/Holyfield/Ali/Foreman better known than Rocky '49-0' Marciano? Bigger fights.
They are asking for anything Joshua offers, as long as Joshua accepts the same deal Wilder accepted after Wilder wins the first fight. Look, if Joshua's team doesn't think Wilder's worth what he's asking ... then they should just move on. Fight Baby Miller. Fight Tony Bellew. Fight Charr. And Wilder will move on, too.
