Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte 2022 - Discussion and polll

At least I have a tail in-between my legs. You're missing a few items, maybe call the supplier.

 

Your not looking at this objectively:

Wallin is still a very much unknown entity. He might be made of granite he might prove to be awful but until now he has been never stopped. Fury coming in light and boxing rather than looking for KO. Goes the distance although he did fold over Wallin with body shots later in the fight.

Until Fury V Wilder 2. Wilder had never been stopped. You can argue his competition but he'd never been stopped by anyone in 40 something fights. Fury fought a defensively minded fight and goes the distance.

Wilder v Fury 2 - Fury comes in heavy and aggressive and beats the breaks of Wilder.

Wilder V Fury 3 - Fury comes in heavy WIlder puts up the fight of his life and the two men produce a war. Fury sparks him out late in the fight. Who's the only man to stop Wilder - Tyson Fury.

Fury has 22 stoppages from 31 fights - not exactly terrible and we know he's gone the distance on purpose against Piaenta. He's had more fights than Whyte and currently has a higher KO percentage... At his size and fighting on the front foot Fury is a good puncher capable of stopping you. Especially if your easy to hit as Whyte is.

Whyte didn't stop bang average Dave Allan despite having it all his own way. He has good stoppages over Chisora but we know Del Boy is shop worn but still a good KO. Browne had never been stopped but was in god awful shape..... Whyte couldn't put a dent in Rivas or Wach. He's got a decent punch but again he's not in the bracket of elite punchers. He's probably got a better, more powerful left hook than Fury.

And really power isn't the be all and end all in the fight. Who's has the better footwork Fury, Who has the better head movement Fury, Who is better on the inside Fury. Who has more ways to win - Fury - Whyte isn't out boxing him and so he's going to have to try and get a stoppage but Fury has been put down by the biggest puncher in the division and got up. Whyte has been stopped twice. Fury has yet to be put down for the count. Who's got the better chin? Fury.

Look at the result Vs a common opponent. Derek Chisora - Fury and Chisora fought with identical 14-0 records. Fury wins a wide UD. In the rematch Fury barely takes a punch and Derek quits I think that's the only time he's failed to come out for the next round short of being sparked out.

Whyte V Chisora 1 - Finishes in an SD for Whyte in a fight many people thought he lost as the two fighters came to land big shots and both have moments.

Whyte V Chisora 2 - Derek is up on the cards but runs out of steam and Whyte lands a huge left to finish it after being given lots of problem against a past his best Chisora.

Triangle theories don't always work in boxing but I think they will here. Fury is all wrong for Whyte and bar a shot from the gods I don't see how Whyte wins if Fury is switched on and injury free.

 

lol no offense, but how are you going to ask me to look at this objectively when you write "triangle theories dont work in boxing but in this case it will".

That's unfair, because its convenient for you to use a triangle theory to support this current argument of yours!

Anyways, we should both agree that being bad or good at boxing has little to do with your punch resistance. You can have bad boxers with good chins and vice-versa. Dave Allen has shown to have a strong chin... that's almost like his biggest asset despite being bang average or below as a boxer.

I think we should both also agree, that Chisora's performance is very dependent on his motivation. We saw that he was the most motivated against Whyte... and he came in the best shape of his life. I mean he hired his ARCH ENEMY Haye to get him into shape and paid him 20%. That's evidence enough of how motivated he was.

So in the end, Whyte fought a strong version of Chisora, not a shop worn version. It can be argued that Chisora was inexperienced when he fought Fury in dealing with a taller man... this street goes both ways. Rather than saying Tyson got a "prime" Chisora. Many boxers have shown to reach their primes later in careers, in 30s.

We will agree to disagree on Fury's power.

But Whyte has proven his power when he floored parker who was never floored before. KOd Chisora... and he did actually hurt Rivas if you go to 18.55 Minute of this video:

Re trinagle - Valid... But I do think here that as Whyte can't outbox Fury we will see a similar result.
Strong motivated, with a million miles on the clock including 8 defeats and KO loss to Haye, You can be as motivated as you want but you can't remove the stress and strain the body has been put under. Chisora is shop worn there is no getting away from that.

Whyte at 18.55 yep a decent hit that - i must have missed that- Still didn't finish him though and currently has a lower % than Tyson.
I like Whyte he's a fun fighter. Decent power but can be hit and hurt. Only 2 fighters have finished him and you would have both in the bangers category- Lets see if Fury can be the 3rd.

 

I agree, Whyte is a bad finisher. Sloppy.

And he ain't outboxing Fury... but he was never going to anyway! Fury is more agile with better movement.

He would fight Fury same way he fought Parker, turn it into a fight against the better skilled opponent.

Did you know that Parker was prime and younger than Whyte. He is faster than Whyte, and he has 16 years more boxing experience than Whyte. And also he beat Ruiz. Yet Whyte still beat Parker.

Whyte uses what he has to find a way to win. And he made Parker flinch a lot and lose confidence.

 

Whyte is not in the same class ... Fury via KO

 

I think Fury stops him late.

Whyte's just too hittable, has awful footwork and while he does have a hell of a left hook that's never been a punch Fury has been susceptible too, it's always been the right hand that's been Fury's weakness.

But it should be an interesting fight. Since coming back Fury has really only fought Wilder at the top level will be interesting to see how Fury does vs Whyte.

 

Fury should batter him.
I'd rather see Fury v Wallin 2, but Whyte will do as a tune-up.

 

Whyte has more power than Fury.

 

Whyte has more power than Wallin.

 

Yeah.
He won't do as well as Wallin did.

 

I think Fury will a lot of shots off Whyte`s high guard, he had trouble with Wallin`s high guard and generally misses a lot of punches in his fights.

 

I really want a underdog pick to add a little spice to the predictions, so I'm choosing the most insane answer possible

Whyte decision
