    Let's see what happens in the actual contest that is when it matters.

    Remember at one point Fury was struggling against the like of McDermott.

    He's improved a lot. 23 year old Fury is unrecognisable to the 33 year old now.

    The chin in sparring doesnt count as in the fight

    Sparring doesn't mean a great deal as it's a completely different dynamic. and people approach it differently.
    We will see if they actually fight at some point. although I'm not that optimistic with Heavyweight other than Usyk at the moment.

    Post a scorecard and explain how/why you scored the rounds, if you truly believe that.

    I don't ask for anything I'm not prepared to provide myself;

    The thing about revisionism is it works both ways. Was 98-92 too wide? Sure. But McDermott was fortunate to not have at least one pointed deducted in the 10th round for turning his back on Fury twice (once while running away) when taking punishment. Fury was heavily favoured to win and the relatively small "David" McDermott massively overperformed relative to the expectations, so a close fight became a "robbery". There was also the feeling that McDerm, fighting in his hometown, had got the sh*tty end of the stick in his last two fights, so losing yet another close fight (especially by such a large margin) seemed very harsh.

    Very likely Fury retires before he fights Usyk. He doesn't want any part of that man.

    I suspect Whyte puts up a much better fight than many think. If Fury dominates him fair play, but he'd be a fool to underestimate him.

    Fury beats that glass jawed blimp from pillar to post.

    Whyte has absolutely no chance. Fury will control him with the jab and uppercut that wafer chin right after he easily slips Whytes sloppy left hook.

    Povetkin blasted him out in 5, surely Fury can do it in 4

    AJ was knocked out cold by David Price in sparring. It took him 15 seconds to come to.

    What bearing would that have ever had on a fight between them?
