If it’s all about the cash, then he’ll definitely make the fight.
it would probably be the biggest money making fight of all time.

he’s been thrown in more dangerous fights sooner in his career than either Wilder or Fury. Made countless offers to Wilder but he’s the one avoiding the fights?
if you believe hearn which i dont at all
whyte has made numerous offers to joshua and hearn has none of it
as for hearns all about the money so will make the fight....
hearn will want too much of the purse, him and warren will never agree on terms and if joshua lost to fury the cash machine is over
why on earth should Whyte be getting a shot? He’s mandatory for the WBC he’s not mandatory for any of Joshuas belts and he was beat comprehensively last time.
I actually prefer Whyte to AJ but that’s not really an argument to prove he is shying away from fights
dillian whyte is the most dangerous in the division other than fury and aj
and if you think aj comprehensively beats whyte then your deluded
If hearns all about the money a whyte vs aj rematch makes cash sense it sells big time
he wont make it because its too dangerous a fight for aj to take

I mean if you wanna compare past performances then are you telling me Fury is perfect and hasn't developed over time? The rematch between AJ/Ruiz showed a different side to AJ that many people didn't think he could do.
AJ beats Fury and would adapt to whatever style is needed.
I agree. It's disgraceful how the WBC protected Wilder and allowed him to threaten Whyte how he wouldn't give him a chance for 2 years.
Deluded? Perhaps this card will jog your memory. Or perhaps we should revisit that night in December over the British Heavyweight title.
Is a TKO finish no longer a comprehensive finish? Sure, Whyte rocked AJ once during the 7 rounds but lets not pretend that he didn't beat Whyte.
Where is the risk vs reward for AJ? What has Whyte got to offer AJ? He has no belts, he's already lost to AJ and as you say, he is a risky fight. It's a lose-lose for AJ as he has nothing to gain from beating Whyte again. Dillian put all of his eggs in the WBC basket. He stopped paying sanctioning fees for the other belts and he is no longer in the top 15 for either the IBF, WBA or WBO. So AJ doesn't have to fight Whyte unless he feels like it for some reason. Whyte should've paid sanctioning fees for the other organisations and then he would've been able to force AJ via a mandatory and then he wouldn't have to worry about rematch terms.
And he rather chase the undisputed fight. Surely the undisputed fight is the one we all want to see? AJ has already beaten Whyte comfortably so there is no reason why he wouldn't do it again, especially if it was worthwhile. What Whyte should be doing is forcing the WBC to make Fury face the mandatory and if he gets a belt then the AJ fight gets that much bigger.
Right now you want to see Whyte face him because?..... I'd rather see AJ get rid of Pulev then fight Usyk and then a unification before he fights Whyte again.
Yeah he came back and won the immediate rematch, he made all the adjustments necessary and won the fight easily.
Imagine if people still held Fury accountable for that shady John Mcdermot win.
Or that time a small cruiserweight dropped him. I think smaller fighters like Povetkin, Hunter and Usyk give Fury problems. Maybe even Rivas cause cause a few problems. I don't think he'd lose to them but they'd make him think, much more than Wilder did for sure.

Wilder looked scared from the first minute!
Had no idea how the fight would pan out. After the first fight you were always confident that Fury would dominate the fight but there was always the risk that Wilder would land that one big shot and end the fight. I really didn't expect Fury to be so much on the front foot though.
Without taking anything away from Fury, I do buy the excuse from Wilder that his equilibrium was off from the first knock down. Fury caught him just around the back of the ear which is probably the worst place to take a shot. It wasn't too dissimilar to the shot Ruiz hit AJ with.
I can't see Wilder triggering the rematch clause. He needs to go away, get a few wins under his belt and see what the situation is with the belts in 18 months time. Hopefully that'll make the Fury Joshua fight a possibility for later in the year. As others have said, I fancy AJ to put up a much bigger challenge to Fury than Wilder did. He's got the size, strength and weight to not get bullied like Wilder was and he's a far better boxer too.
Whyte turned down an offer to fight AJ prior to the Miller fight being agreed. Whyte openly admits this.
I'm not sure how Whyte would have been in a position to make an offer to AJ either considering its AJ that brings the money to the table.

whyte offered to step in when miller was banned and aj turned it down taking the other fight instead
shall we forget that whyte had an ongoing shoulder injuriy in The first aj fight and wasnt fully fit? He couldnt bang after the 2nd round kinda affects the fight no???
he subsequently had surgery on his shoulder and since then has just got better and better
https://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/10102212/dillian-whyte-has-shoulder-operation
i seem to remember aj was banging out opponents im a few rounds, how long has it been since he did that? He doesnt carry the same power he did in his early fights as hes changed his physique
aj vs whyte is nothing like the first fight
Where's this come from. The only thing that I'm aware of, which both fighters confirmed, was that Whyte turned down the fight to begin with.

He was taking some punishment, could well have been seriously injured.
Every fighter goes into a fight carying some injury or that camp wasn't 100%. He still lost every round and got knocked out. You can call it whatever you want but you can't say it was anything other than a comprehensive beating.
Yes, he is no longer knocking out cream puffs in one or two rounds but just compare their resume. Hell, compare Joshua's resume to half of the other fighters in the division and see who has faced the hardest opponents.
I say this as more of a Whyte fan than an AJ fan. Whyte has done nothing to earn a rematch with AJ just yet. He's not a mandatory and I see no reason why Joshua should fight him as a voluntary as he gets nothing from winning that fight. If he beats Whyte (again) and keeps his belts "Well, Whyte was a bum anyway".
Let Whyte climb the other rankings or fight and beat Fury and have a belt of his own and then go for the AJ rematch. Their only common opponent (from Memory) is Parker. AJ dealt with Parker quite handily - say what you want about to Ref - whereas Whyte was a round away from losing that fight.
