Heavyweight Boxing

I think Fury will be to cute for Usyk i really do, there's nothing Usyk can throw at him that he isn't able to handle,

AJ even in the second fight was petrified of tiring or being chinned & again never put the foot down , He did for 1 round won it easy then reverted to type,

AJ , Chisora landed often on Usyk , Fury is far better than both, I think this is the step to far for Usyk where size, power & weight catch up on him,

I actually think Fury will come out & put it on him something AJ couldn't do, Bellew done it but tired, Fury will put him under pressure from bell one ,he'll take some shots himself but i think he stops him ,

Walshb we know u love to write of Fury but i think its time to realize how dame good he is,

I think your analysis is spot on. And doable. It’s a super fight. It’s far from a write off for me with Fury: I think this one could be razor close.

I thought AJ beat Whyte very easily.

Whyte looked horrendous v Fury. Right from bell 1. Was it that he was horrendous, or Fury made it so?

Usyk ,due to his style ,looks troubled to me when he blocks at times .i.e the way he iscovering everywhere and is nearly armadillo like in his blocking of heavy shots ,he does get caught not not all that much.

Now while I don't dispute that AJ won round 9 and live it looked like his redemption and win was on ! But on numerous watch backs I'm just not sure how troubled Usyk really was by it , yes he was caught with a good body blow early on which I think did trouble him overall trying to set up and gave AJ a window,it was around the 2min mark, AJ used his left to keep him close and drove the right in.

When AJ's flurry came it was mostly dodged and not a lot of decent punches landed well ,well that's what I see on many re-watches anyway . And all it has told me is ,Usyk against any of the others has the evasive and ring IQ to get out of dodge !

The only thing from fight 2 that has me favouring Fury more is that Usyk didn't land near heavy enough throughout as he did in fight 1.

He was in trouble at one point of the fight so hardly very easy ,

One punch. Split second, regained composure and won pretty much every minute of the fight and then knocked out Whyte. Very easily!!!

Had Whyte landed a heavy shot and wobbled Fury, it wouldn’t change the fact that Fury won easily!!!

Ah come on. You’re being pedantic here. 18-20 minutes the fight was.

A split second he got caught very cleanly and was wobbled. Within a few seconds he was fighting back and composed. He won pretty much every round and then knocked Whyte out. It was a very clear cut win.

Easy enough dominant win!

For example: Mayweather was stunned/wobbled twice in rd 2 v Mosley. Apart from those few seconds, Floyd won the fight easily enough. Clear/cut winner. Easy winner

I had it 5-1 I think. Ok, very easy might be a stretch. But quite a clear/comfortable win from bell 1 to the end. And definitely a better version Whyte that night. Whyte looked atrocious vs. Fury, even when Fury was doing nothing.

anyway, Whyte is just not that good anyway.

Lads Whyte was always an absolute also ran, pure donkey with poor discipline who even when he did turn up in decent shape (for him) he was still rubbish. His best win was Parker but he got that through fouling (elbows and a headbutt knockdown) and Parker being too nice. Even at that; Parker almost had him gone the first time he attacked (in the 12th).

Whyte was offered a rematch and he said it wasn’t enough money

Whyte was not world number 1, he was WBC number 1 contender. He narrowly beat Oscar Rivas to get that. Oscar Rivas.

where am i going ? are you a child or what , this is a discussion forum for heavyweight boxing not a place to have digs at each other

why did he turn down aj then and moan about the money, aj had all the belts and gets the lions share of the purse, given the fact whyte was moaning to ifltv everyday that he has been waiting 10k days for his title shot?

yes whyte has gone in against parker and got very lucky in that fight, fury fight he didnt even land a decent punch and chisora is about his level it was a pure slug fest

i am a fan of whyte but his career didnt take off the way it could have, he is entertaining to watch in interviews and fighting but if he was serious about being a champion he would have fought aj when he had the chance.

look at the way he carried on with the fury fight, he wanted more money and refused to do media work and also sued the wbc, how many promoters will swerve him after that

the rematch was proposed by aj and hearn in 2019 with an offer over 4m but whyte said it was not enough and called it chump change or something like that and then went to America to try and sign with a promoter there but he didnt close a deal and came back

Lets be fair and talk sense,

You have the big 4 , Fury, Wilder, AJ , Usyk

Then Whyte is in the bracket just under that Whyte, Ruiz, Joyce, King Kong ,

He is not top tier but he could beat anyone outside of that top 4 fighters ,

To call him shyte is just silly,

AJ was never running from Fury..
