    Helenius can crack but his stamina beyond the 4th round is non existent. Ruiz while a live dog cant really fight coming forward. he likes to counterpunch mostly and hes gonna have a hard 12 round getting jabbed to death from fury.

    So? They are all crap and worse than Helenius.

    Tom Schwartz was also undefeated, but everyone knew he was crap. And Breazeale, with his saggy tits, is also crap. Tickling Takam is hilariously bad.

    My point being two of them were stay busy fights and one was a mandatory who pulled out last minute.

    Unsure what “uproar” you would want with those.

    Just 2 fights ago, Whyte’s eyes were rolling in the back of his head and he was dribbling down himself at Matchroom HQ. He should just be grateful he’s being offered a shot at the greatest prize in sport. The clown priced himself out of a huge Wembley fight with AJ and he’s doing it again with Fury. Mug

    Yes, because management have absolutely no input into who becomes mandatory, do they? You're wet behind the ears, bud.

    Joshua's record is paper thin, and full of puddings. Fury is the undefeated road warrior who has won every heavyweight belt all the way from national level to world level.

    It doesn't matter who he boxes, because he's looking for the biggest bouts possible and will box Usyk anywhere, as soon as it's feasible.

    If your last paragraph is true, why is he facing Helenius or Ruiz next then? Stop being so biased.

    All he wants is a cash out fight

    Said it when the AJ rematch was offered and he is proving it once again

    You have said that Whyte is a bum and British level loads of times and now you are moaning that Helenius or Rice Pudding Jr are being considered?

    You don't seem to realise that bouts can't simply be made on a meritocratic basis. The truth is we don't know why bouts are made and why others aren't. I'm not the one trying to pretend that I'm privy.

    Dont know where you are getting your numbers from but the 1st fight did 220k buys
    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.*****.net/2020/09/22/dillian-whyte-povetkin-ppv-numbers/amp/

    At 26 US dollar a PPV and if they met the 10 million gaurantee , they would be in the red if they sold 1 million PPV. 10 minimum for Whyte and 15-20 for Furry.

    There isn’t anything compelling about the fight. Hype ? What hype? How exactly are they going to hype up a fight with Whyte?

    Takam stepped in as late replacement and he would actually be in amongst Fury top 5 opponents and Would be Wilder's best win after Ortiz.

    So the last time AJ fought a poor opponent was Molina in 2016. Fury has fought poor fighters since then in Seferi, Pianetta, Schwarz and Wallin. Whilst Wilder's whole resume barring Ortiz and Fury is all poor level opponents.

    Joshua's last win is a **** poor opponent, in Pudding Pulev. Remember? The man who literally turned his back and ran away to the corner like a little girl, that old guy?

    Come on, Mitch. Who are Pulev's best wins? You've already stated that Chisora is crap and that he is not a record strengthener - Fury has pummelled him twice. Then there's Hughie Fury. Who else? He's terrible.

    There's no way they can generate enough money to pay Whyte 10 million and Fury at least 20 million. Not enough interest in Whyte outside of the UK. He's a nobody in the states. Wilder had better recognition worldwide than Whyte and I don't think he got 10 million.

    If Whyte is hell bent on that figure then give the fight to Helenius.

    If Pulev is viewed as a poor opponent then Wilder has never beaten anyone good (Puoev has a better resume than Ortiz) and would be Fury best opponent after Wlad.
