Interesting interview to Whyte's coach who also said the fight of Fury with Klitschko was awful. None on the web loves to rewatch that fight. https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/...hyte-wladimir-klitschko-when-shoulder-injury/ In the article Is said Fury respects Whyte because hes skilled.....??????
Fury didn't say that, he said Whyte was a heavy bag on legs and an easy fight. Whyte's coach said the Klitschko fight was a good performance but awful to watch. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder: I love watching Wlad get schooled and clowned in front of 60,000 German fans. In any case, he said that he's hoping Fury carries on being an "exciting fighter", translation: please don't use your movement and box at distance against Dillian because it will look like Fury-Chisora 2, just with an earlier KO. Fury shouldn't be taken in by this dullard's lame attempt at reverse psychology. Hopefully Fury makes it easy for himself and doesn't allow Whyte to land a shot, gives him a sustained beating and makes his corner throw the towel in.
I love Tyson but he is full of sh*t. I never agreed with him saying Wilder was number 2. He knows how to play the game and sell a fight. Whyte is a decent scrap if it happens Fury should get through unscathed ready for unification and then retire.
Also, let's examine Whyte's KO record against his 10 best opponents: AJ: gets KO'd in 7 Parker: UD Chisora 1: SD Chisora 2: KO11 Rivas: UD Povetkin 1: gets KO'd in 5 Helenius: UD Wach: UD Allen: UD Lewison: RET10 20% KO ratio, half of which was against his 10th best opponent and zero KO's inside 30 minutes. In so far as Whyte has KO power, he hardly ever manages to make it count and this is against far lower level opposition than Fury. Hence Whyte is a 9/2 (18.2%) underdog against Fury. Wilder was a slight favourite in 1 and 2 and only a 5/2 (28.6%) underdog in 3.
If you actually pay attention Dillian Whyte’s boxing skills are worse than Wilder’s. A lot of his best wins came in the same fashion where he’s losing and catches his opponent with a huge shot.. Whyte’s coach is clearly deluded for even mentioning Wlad. Was he more dangerous than Wlad when an old Povetkin disconnected his miniature head from his neck. Considering a prime Povetkin couldn’t land a clean shot on Wlad..
Whyte is definitely more dangerous. When you knock him out little bits of glass go absolutely everywhere. Get one of those fragments in an eye, and well! It's no laughing matter.
