The Boxing thread

Whyte v Rivas should be a good brawl style wise. Rivas has had eye trouble in the past so must be ok. Never a ppv unless the cards stacked. DW has to get a title shot next.
No one wants to take a chance with Whyte, so he has to keep taking these kinds of fights to get paid, I think Whyte would give Wilder big problems, it would be Fury’s toughest fight and Joshua obviously wants no part as he would have been a better/tougher fight than Miller and should have been offered the chance to fill the void now left by Miller

He has hammered him once already has he not?

Wouldn't say that. They've fought twice, Whyte won the first at amateur level and Joshua the second at pro. Joshua was the better fighter in the pro fight but Whyte had his moments as well and has really improved since. I think it would be a hard fight to call.

He also was coming back off of a shoulder injury.....

Whyte has become the people’s champion, he hasn’t shirked one fight put in front of him, and remains the hungriest in my opinion!

Do you not think Joshua has improved at the same time and so the balance remains the same?

Anyway the point was that it was being suggested that Joshua was avoiding him, bit harsh when you have already beaten that fighter at "pro" level once.

I'm sure Joshua has improved, but not as noticeably as Whyte, he was the far more mature fighter mentally when they met last and for me that's where Whyte is most improved.

Probably harsh to say he is ducking the lad, but Whyte is probably the top contender and none of the 3 are fighting him, you have to ask why.

Boxing politics as ever.

Anyway went back and been rewatching the fight from round 3 onwards, absolutely awful commentary btw, think I am up to the round where he uppercuts his head off.

Joshua isn’t ducking Whyte and I never meant to imply he was, but Joshua knows full well the hard money is Whyte, I’m not saying that Joshua wouldn’t beat Whyte again but the fight is way down the list for Joshua and right at the top for Whyte and it all comes down to who would have the most to lose, which is of course Joshua and for that reason alone he doesn’t want any part of Whyte when there is easy money out there for him
