    Wallin isn't any kind of threat either, that is why Fury fought him. He figured he was Schwarz level. Turns out he had a chin, thus Fury fought bum ass Chisora instead of Wallin again.

    No idea, didn't see it. If I gotta pay to watch a fight on tv, i'll gladly never see it instead.

    Ok then, explain to me why Joshua isn't fighting Wallin and is instead going to fight Wallin's stablemate Franklin or McKean, who are smaller, less regarded names than Wallin and wouldn't grant near the kudos that stopping Wallin would ("AJ did a better job than Fury!")

    And explain to me why Whyte pulled out of the Wallin fight 10 days prior, and fought Wallin's stablemate Franklin after getting his arse handed to him by Fury?

    Franklin had got a dubious SD against Jerry Forrest, had failed to stop Pavel Sour over 10 rounds and had been inactive for the best part of 3 years. Wallin had given Fury a good fight over 12 in a massive step up, schooled Breazeale and was active. Wallin is also a lot bigger than Franklin, in much better condition and is a southpaw.

    Regardless of what Matchroom fans and a moronic troll with no logic has to say, it's clear that Hearn, Joshua and Whyte do regard Wallin as too great a risk for the potential reward, otherwise they'd fight him rather than the Franklin's and McKean's.

    And if Joshua and Whyte are ducking Wallin, it's no surprise that other fighters at or below that level such as Parker also have no interest in fighting Wallin, preferring the likes of someone called Jack Massey. Whereas Chisora (unlike Franklin, McKean or Massey) is at least a more lucrative option than Wallin.

    Close fight, but Wallin likely takes it on points. I don't think Zhang has the gas tank to win a fight that goes the distance anymore, and Wallin has enough experience to avoid getting stopped in the early rounds.

    You are as dense as Mitch, which is quite an accomplishment.

    Whyte pulled out to avoid Wallin in October 2021 and fought Fury in April 2022, it wasn't one or the other (unless Whyte lost to Wallin, as he clearly feared). Whyte wanted activity and to get one over on Fury but got cold feet after seeing a cruiser southpaw school his conqueror, AJ.

    I'm talking before and after: Whyte ducked Wallin in October 2021 when he fought no one AND in November 2022, when he fought Wallin's stablemate Franklin.

    If Whyte isn't ducking Wallin, why did he fight Franklin? Wallin was available, was calling Whyte out.

    Same for AJ: why is he going to fight Franklin or McKean rather than Wallin, who has been calling him out?

    Why isn't Parker fighting Wallin rather than unknown cruiserweight Massey?

    Wallin is too big a risk, even though beating him would bring greater reward. It's the only plausible explanation.

    apparently the whole top 500 or so are ducking Wallin now. He is fighting some goof with an 9-4-1 record. lmao. Maybe Wallin should call out Dychko. He wouldn't last half the fight, but the guy he is fighting is a joke. Why would Whyte duck.? Even if Wallin knocked him out cold, they would have kept rerunning the fight until Whyte won.

    So this guy (7-3), an obese 6 footer at most with a 15% KO ratio (despite mostly fighting unknown guys in Argentina) recently went the 10 round distance with Dychko but Wallin "wouldn't last half the fight". Clown.

    Dychko has fought and beat no one of any note as a pro, offers nothing financially, comes with more risk and beating him wouldn't help Wallin get a big fight, whereas Wallin has relevance because of the Fury connection. Instead of lesser names and inferior fighters like Franklin, McKean and Massey, Whyte, Joshua or Parker could fight Wallin (who has called all of them out) and potentially boost their reputation if they stopped him. None of them are fighting him because he's regarded as too risky, it's clear to see. Yet with characteristic dishonesty you accuse Fury of ducking Wallin, who he's already beaten, when the Chisora trilogy was obviously more lucrative, unlike the fights with Franklin et al.

    "Why would Whyte duck.? Even if Wallin knocked him out cold, they would have kept rerunning the fight until Whyte won."

    Whyte would duck, you dunce, because losing to Wallin would have scuppered his title shot payday 6 months later. Fury would have moved on and Whyte's credibility would have been in tatters. Then an even more brain damaged and less confident Whyte would have probably lost the rematch, had his career ended and Wallin would have been made WBC mandatory. Whyte didn't fancy that, so he ducked. And after getting schooled and destroyed by Fury, he fought Wallin's unknown stablemate; 6/1 underdog Franklin, rather than Wallin who would have likely been favoured to beat him, if not very close to even odds.

    Pathetic that Wallin is fighting a Mexican bum who just got ko'd in one round by 25-49-9 Terrel Jamal Woods. He shouldn't be fighting anyone of this ilk after his first year pro.
