    Can’t believe we had to endure all the garbage about the champions running from him, or him being the most hard done by fighter in the history. Finally, now we can talk about actual, quality HW challengers like Hrgovic, Yoka, Makhmudov, Sanchez, Jalolov among others.

    He ain't bad, he is a legit top 10 in this era, but i think Joshua cracked his chin, and Povetkin totally shattered it for good.
    He took a huge beating from AJ, it was all heavy, heavy shots.

    He wasn’t bad, he beat some good fighters in Parker, Rivas, Chisora, (shot to pieces) Povetkin. It’s just tonight he got his tactics completely wrong. His punch resistance also gone from the fights against Joshua and Povetkin.

    I think it all went down-hill for him after he left Mark Tibbs.

    Whyte deserved his shot, that cannot be denied

    However, he failed to improve or correct anything in his skillset.

    I honestly wanted him to win and thought he would catch Fury with a big left hook.

    Great performance from Fury, albeit against a limited opponent.

    Joshua is still a 2x World champion.

    Not at all, just fury is that good.

    Whyte has looked a good solid hw in all his fights,has fought AJ, pov, rivas, Parker, chisora etc and belonged in there with all of them

    Fury has just shown he is indeed an ATG

    Fury vs usyk is the only real fight in the division now both levels above the rest.

    He's always been rubbish, epileptic foot work, poor stamina and a chin made from China

    Whyte is barely fit to carry AJ’s jock strap, which was evident in their fight aside from one scary moment.
