It kind of betrays Whyte though if it goes ahead before his mandatory.

I go to a lot of fights but don’t waste my money going to these events as can’t afford/justify them (as fork out for my boys ticket as well) May watch this on pay per view with a beer and a takeaway. Prefer a night down York Hall where you can see the blood and smell the fear. Lol yes I went to York Hall once... Such a legendary status but couldn't believe how small and run down it was!! I was lucky enough to come into some money when AJ vs Miller was announced in New York.. Always wanted to tick MSG off the bucket list so me and two mates booked to go... Then obviously it got changed to Ruiz... I suppose you could say I was lucky enough to witness a historical boxing event live!!
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

As much as he deserves a shot and I hope he gets it i genuinely don't think Whyte is good enough to be a world champion... I like the fella but he just ain't got it in my opinion.

Whyte is probably as good as any in the chasing pack however there’s very much a top three at the moment.

I once heard a story from an old boxing scribe who said that before Duran first visited New York he was warned not to go out after dark as back then, late seventies I’m guessing, parts of it were pretty scary. Anyway apparently Duran was always tired the next day at New York training camp as he spent most nights walking round the rough neighbourhoods basically looking to get mugged. Guy was a bloody nutter. He infamously once knocked out a horse. Second or third best ever living fighter.

It’s a shame he had to go up the weights in an era that included Leonard, Hearns and the great Marvin Hagler. His win against Iran Barkley was a mark of the man.

Recent events aside, if this comes off then it would be the biggest fight since Tyson Holyfield. Having one heavyweight champ with all/most of the belts would be great for boxing. See Fury winning, how? Not sure. Don’t see AJ knocking Fury out (although he is of course more than capable) but if Fury can take Wilders shots he can take AJs. Not a chance in hell that AJ out boxes Fury. This is a fight that would transcend boxing, black v white, north v south. Bring it on boys! Alright Tom. Hope you are well.
