Why would Wilder call out a defeated Whyte? The only defeated fighter Wilder should be looking to target is Joshua, assuming Usyk does as most of us expect he will.
I really doubt Wilder is going to this..... Unless Fury really is gonna announce his retirement after the fight and vacate the belt if he wins...
Normally nobody would care about this, if it wasn't for the very good chance that the corrupt WBC will give Windmiller the mandatory shot after 2 KO losses in a row.
Wilder just wants to see some class and great skills. He's addicted to Tyson Fury. Tyson is literally his daddy now.
Fury will make a comeback at 40 years old when another bodybuilder holds the belts hostage And just barrel roll them at 400 pounds That is Fury's upcoming legacy. Foreman esque.
Even if Whyte loses, he'd still become by far the best win on Wilders resume (assuming he wins)... So why wouldn't he want to fight him? If Wilder bothers fighting again at all, he's going to look for a decent payday and a decent chance of winning... Joshua would still be far riskier than I think Wilder chooses to go for.
The bold is your opinion, you're welcome to it. Joshua, even coming off a defeat to Usyk, is a much bigger, much more creditable fight. The end.
For sure - Joshua's a better fight, and would be a better win than Whyte without doubt... But I don't think Wilder has much chance of beating him, and more importantly I don't think Wilder believes he does either. The bold is very much my opinion, of course, but I honestly don't understand how any sane boxing fan could make a case that any of Wilders wins to date come close to being as proven or as accomplished as Whyte.
Many others disagree with your opinion re. Wilder's chances. The bold is just your slanted speculation — the negotiations tell a different story of Hearn quite consciously negotiating his golden goose out of that fight by stalling until the WBA stepped in and then making unreasonable demands (one-way rematch clause) for a proposed 2019 date; [url]https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/tyson-fury-has-never-defended-a-world-heavyweight-title.646733/page-4#post-20390929[/url]
I don't doubt it for a moment, I've seen plenty post such opinions here and have no reason to doubt that most posters believe what they say. I just see two fighters with resumes on different planets and don't see enough in the less proven guy to believe he'd be likely to bring enough - if others do, that's fine by me, it'd be pretty boring if we all agreed. I'm not all that interested in getting into who ducked who again - let's just say I don't entirely agree with a significant amount your version of events and leave at that for now.
Will your relative view of Wilder and Whyte's records change much if Fury schools and destroys Whyte this weekend? Or will it just be a "bad night" and/or a "bad stylistic matchup" for Whyte? Because Whyte's best wins are going life and death with Parker and Chisora as the A-side at home, winning via controversial officiating, while his losses currently consist of getting sparked out by a green AJ and a shot Povetkin at home. It's not much to hang your hat on against Wilder.
Wouldn't surprise me that much... But nor would Whyte bulldozing Wilder and knocking him out. Whyte's got the better resume of the two, Wilder appears to have a huge amount of power in his signature punch - could go either way, but I'd err on the side of the more proven fighter and IMHO that's clearly Whyte.
No, my view of Whyte and Wilders records wouldn't really change - I'm expecting Fury to get the job done and pretty confident he will. Going pretty evens with Parker is a lot better than going life and death with a guy whose best win was a Bryant Jennings that didn't look like he wanted to win, if you ask me. And that's before you get to the rest of their respective records. Wilder can clearly punch pretty hard, but his list of opponents is poor for someone who held a belt long enough to take his pick of more respectable fights IMHO. You're welcome to disagree (and I already know you do), but that's my opinion.
