    Whyte is already been knocked out by Joshua and Povetkin. Fury basically beat their leftovers. Somehow people say Fury is GOAT now after he beat Whyte.

    They probably say same after Fury's last fight against Wilder. So: beating Whyte add nothing to Fury or maybe just very little.

    I never thought much of Whyte other then he was willing to fight some of the tougher opponents. Problem with him was he was limited skill wise and was a horrendous negotiator .

    Hes not that good but in this era he is clearly a top 10 level guy anyway. So you have to give Fury some credit for dominating and stopping him like that.

    Before the fight you were saying that Whyte was going to KO Fury...

    With Fury It's all about HOW.

    Povetkin & AJ had a rough outing with Whyte. Actually everyone had a rough outing with him.

    Meanwhile Fury has made light work of Wlad, Wilder, Chisora, Whyte, Hammer etc etc etc

    Fury has made light work of men who have never really been made light work of before.

    How he beat them is what stands out.

    Beat Whyte in 1st gear then the moment Whyte started to slow and come forward a tiny bit carelessly he got KO'd.

    Fury is an animal. A beast. A titan.

    Pre-fight it was all "Whyte has improved he is no pushover" which is true but Fury makes dangerous men look like mere mortals.

    If Whyte & Wilder continue to fight & are motivated to the level they were before Fury it will only make Fury look better.

    AJ is not much different to Whyte to Fury. Little bit taller. Little rangier. More standard straight punches. Text book stuff. But no head movement. Slow feet. Chinny. Fury would batter him like a chip shop fish.

    Pretty sure Fury will retire and throw his belt at Wilder and tell him to do his dirty work for him. Like a good dosser.

    If you watch Whyte's footwork during a fight you'll see he resembles someone in a barfight at 3am more than an elite athlete. He's done a great job getitng to where he is - I do find the chip on his shoulder hilarious for such a "warrior". He's got more hardluck stories than an orphanage in Ukraine.

    Whyte likes to wait, sit and counter. The more you make him use his feet the more trouble he has.

    - Povetkin is old
    - AJ fought a younger Whyte
    - The only easy fight Fury had against Wilder was their second fight
