This must delight Eddie.H. Totally Machevilian play from him pretending to get Whyte his shot, safe in the knowledge a big £££ battle of the Brits will fall into his lap.
Although I don't mind Breazeale getting in on the action, I think he's improving. Would just prefer it to be Breazeale vs Whyte or Ruiz or Rivas
Why is Whyte being removed from the #1 spot? This makes no sense. Whyte vs. Chisora was supposed to be an eliminator?
The WBC is not about liking a fight its a business, all of wilders opponents prove that. Molina is the next guy available its not about being up to spec..theres only whyte /Breazeale and whoever is next to fight Breazeale so the opponents are going to get much better unless they had made Miller vs Breazeale,but miller is fighting Wach . we still might see whyte vs breazeale but i doubt it bc Breazeale has a title shot with Wilder if he wins ,so aagain not logical from his point to take a whyte fight. Molina is the NEXT guy available in REAL life...lol People are just to ignorant to grasp this concept and complain,its actually being fair if the WBC goes down the line in rankings.Wilders side step money made all this happen for Breazeale in the first place, but wilder planned this all along for months and made phone calls ?....lol
I think Wilder might make him a cherry pick after watching him vs Helenius. He doesn't need to worry about being mando.
It was said on here months ago, they want to make Breazeale Vs Wilder. After that "scuffle" they all had after an event it was only a matter of time, I'm sure a few phone calls were made and some convincing was done.
this is just awful. Wilder is so content with mediocrity and settling petty scores with guys like Stiverne & Brazeale when he could fight much better opponents. like whatever happened to fighting for greatness and having a significant opponent for once?
This. Also, assuming Ortiz doesn't keep his number 1 spot Whyte is next in line to fight Wilder anyway. If Whyte wants Wilder as bad as he says he does he'll be in a position to force the fight soon enough.
Don't know why Whyte or anyone else is surprised. It's the WBC . They don't care about little things like rules.
Both Wilder's and Joshua's handlers are pulling a Mickey Goldmill by overprotecting their fighters because they know full well they do not have the capability of being true legendary champions in the mould of Lewis, Wlad, Vitali and the legends of old. Wilder lacks the the technique and chin, while Joshua lacks the movement, rhythm and variety This content is protected
Ortiz is suspended. Whyte is not in the position at Mando yet ,hes number 2 bc Breazeale had a signed contract for the number 1 spot when he was going to fight Stiverne . Wheather Hearn can challenge that? I doubt it. It will be either Bereazeale( if he wins) or whyte. In short Breazeale is legally entitled to the Mando position if he defeats Molina who will also get the Mando bc he takes Breazeales spot.
I know the WBA suspended him, but I didn't hear any official announcement of the WBC suspending Ortiz. Is the WBC simply recognizing the WBA suspension?
