Is Whyte the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd best Fury fought?

Only reporting what Fury himself thinks.

 

All Wallin had to do v Breazale was keep a high guard and counter, all Breazale ever had was a punch, these fans are scraping hard.

 

By the same logic David Price is vastly better than Usyk.

Whyte is a bigger puncher than Wallin but that doesn't make him a better or even a more dangerous opponent per se. Andy Ruiz is a relatively light puncher and is 5'11 + obese + orthodox rather than 6'5 + fit + southpaw but his other attributes (fast hands, mass, toughness, confidence, aggression, determination, experience, aesthetic pressure and ease of underestimation) made him an extremely dangerous opponent for AJ.

 

Wallin don`t fight anything like Usyk, he doesn`t have his skill or speed, Fury caught him a lot and so would Whyte who punches harder than Fury.

 

If harder puncher = better fighter, Price >>> Usyk.

Obviously there is more to it and that and beyond punching power, Whyte doesn't have any real advantages over Wallin. Whyte's KO record is inferior to Fury's, despite Fury turning pro younger, facing higher quality opposition and Fury often boxing on the backfoot. At the very least, Whyte doesn't have much practical power at a high level and he lacks Fury's speed, agility, slickness, skill, IQ, length, durability, stamina etc.

 

lol! Whyte destroyed Chisora with one shot while it took Fury loads of punches he also wobbled AJ badly with his left hook, Fury doesn`t have a powerful hand he simply hits firm with both hands and wears fighters down.

 

I must have imagined the previous ten rounds of war between Whyte and Chisora, which couldn't have possibly softened Chisora up for the KO. I must have also imagined Chisora being 4 years older and shopworn in Whyte 2, having sustained massive punishment over the years in all his wars and beatings.

Fury was not exchanging with Chisora like Whyte who had no choice; Fury was peppering him all night on the backfoot while del boy couldn't land a glove. Wobbling AJ badly with a left hook isn't hugely impressive as AJ's been smashed to bits by a little fat man who lacked the power to wobble a shot Liakhovich over 10 rounds.
