Comments Thread For: Whyte Livid With WBC - Breazeale-Molina Winner in Line For Wilder

[daggum]

When the Stiverne fight fell through Breazeale turned down an offer to fight Whyte then took the Molina fight so has no right to have “ final eliminator” status because he avoided Whyte.

When the Stiverne fight fell through Breazeale turned down an offer to fight Whyte then took the Molina fight so has no right to have “ final eliminator” status because he avoided Whyte.

That isn't how life works. Breazeale was the one guaranteed a final eliminator on November 4, not Whyte. Whyte lowballing Breazeale and Breazeale saying no thank you when he knew he had a final eliminator in his back pocket does not disqualify Breazeale from participating in said eliminator.

Whyte being unavailable November 4 did disqualify him from participating in said eliminator though.

Hearn has been trying to play cute with Wilder and Haymon outfoxed him, plain and simple.

whyte is on a 6 fight winning steak and just beat chisora and helenius.

molina has won 1 in a row and that was a MD against a 15-35 fighter.

BASELESS ACCUSATIONS NO PROOF OF CORRUPTION! molina was the best man for the job! a panel of wbc experts sat down and crunched the stats, watched hours of tape and made their decision.

Boxing is corrupt to the core

when you see it spelt out like that its even more laughable

Whyte is right on this one! With Luis Ortiz out of the picture, he should be fighting the winner of Wilder vs. Stiverne next:

1 .- Bermane Stiverne (Haiti/Canada)
2 .- Luis Ortiz (Cuba)
3 .- Dillian Whyte (Jamaica/GB) INTL
4 .- Andy Ruiz (Mexico)
5 .- Carlos Takam (Cameroon)
6 .- Dominic Breazeale (US)
7 .- Mariusz Wach (Poland)
8 .- Dereck Chisora (GB)
9 .- Johann Duhaupas (France)
10 .- Oscar Rivas (Colombia/US) NABF
11 .- Charles Martin (US)
12 .- Eric Molina (US)
13 .- Agit Kabayel (Germany) EBU
14 .- Lucas Browne (Australia)
15 .- Adam Kownacki (US) CBP/P

One problem. Before Ortiz tested dirty, Breazeale signed to fight Stiverne in a final eliminator. When Ortiz tests dirty and Stiverne is elevated to the main event, Breazeale is still legally entitled to that final eliminator. So the WBC had to go through their rankings until somebody said yes. On such short notice, nobody ranked higher than Molina was willing to take the fight.

Dillian Shyte seems to forget that Eddie Hearn failed to deliver Dominic Breazeale before this fight with Molina was schedule : if he would of got the win vs. Breazeale he probably would of been mandatory, but Eddie Hearn did not have enough faith in this bum. Also he was in a pitiful eight rounder before this so he was ready to go.

Whyte vs. Breazeale Showdown is Being Pursued By Hearn

"In an ideal world, Wilder will fight Stiverne, who is his mandatory. Get that out of the way and we'll fight Breazeale on October 28 and the winner can fight the winner early next year," Hearn told Sky Sports.

Because Stiverne was already the mandatory and Stiverne agreed to put his mandatory status up for grabs against Breazeale.

Just like Shawn Porter is already the WBC mandatory at welterweight, but he's choosing to take an interim fight and if Granados wins, Granados becomes the WBC mandatory even though he's not even ranked right now.

.... and this is what happens when the talent is spread across four different major boxing leagues.....

Absolutely the truth. It isn't even that much about if Breazeale- who I picked to beat Steverne and have little doubt he will beat Molina who is game but limited- is a better mandatory than Whyte. He is not. It is about how bad the politics are that truly interesting fights can be shuffled to the back due to sanctioning bodies, bad blood between promoters, or competing networks. It ruins some of the best options.

HW really only has 2 real talents, and maybe 4-6 other decent names. That all these factions want a slice of the HW cash pie makes Whyte more than likely someone in limbo- Joshua has beaten him once already, he does not have a belt to offer, and Wilder does not have to fight him even if it makes the most sense.
