50/50. I'd pick Wilder to eventually find Whytes wafer chin but the fact that Wilder's been ducking him leads me to believe Wilder himself doesn't believe that. He'd also be Wilders best win which is hilarious.
He cherry picked what he believed to be a washed up, fat Fury and escaped with a gifted draw. He avoided the Fury rematch until his ego couldn’t stand the fact that the world moved on and then went through arbitration for a payday, nothing more. To state he is “chasing” Fury is fanboy nonsense at best, ignorance at worse.
Well, to be fair he thought Fury was a washed up, bloated mess before the first fight. Having to honour a rematch clause and being humiliated hasn't really left him anywhere to go. His damaged psyche demands he try to face Fury again.
Well, Wilder tends to prefer people that don't offer much opposition. Whyte, who isn't remotely impressed by Wilder, would come for a tear up - and he could just as easily clip Wilder and cause (what would be) and upset.
Weak response. A few days ago you try and post a funny remark regarding human waste product, which nobody found funny. Today, you call Wilder a classless halfwit for a less descriptive comment of the same ilk. As I said to you the other day, you're an odd character. You asked why...
I went with Whyte, although to me this really is a 50/50 as his punch resistance seems to be in decline. On the other hand Wilder is mentally fragile and cannot fight at all going backwards and the few body shots he took against Fury seemed to deplete his gas tank. If Whyte goes after him from the get go and gives Wilder zero space there's no reason why he shouldn't be able to stop him. The version of Wilder we see after this next Fury fight could be a shell of what we saw too.
Whyte's boxing ability is almost as laughable as Wilder's. Style wise it should favor Wilder. Whyte's jab is overrated, His footwork is flat. He can't contain Wilder like Fury can & he can't dogfight Wilder like Fury can. Whyte actually prefers to box, he sits and waits at range. He's like a poor mans Danny Garcia. Not a great style to beat Wilder with.
If the fight was two years ago, then would go with Wilder easily, even though I really like Whyte. If it is happening after Wilder has had two devastating losses back to back, and the fact Wilder is older, and might be losing his athleticism and speed. I think it is a toss up who wins the fight. Will have a better idea after the Fury fight.
Wilder chin is pure china, same with Whyte after AJ and Povetkin shatter it. Whoever land first win this.
I think it's a 60/40 fight in Wilders favour (I flop flop on this one a lot) as Wilder just has a few physical advantages that Whyte would struggle to negate. However, if Whyte went for Wilder from the get go, especially with those wicked body punches that's his bread and butter, I could see Wilder dropping his arms and getting clipped with that crushing left hook of his. Wilder would have to keep out the clinches aswell as Whyte is very effective at dropping in that short left hook as demonstrated with Parker. Also, we don't know what Wilder has left anymore as it seems like Fury may have taken his soul, and swapping out Breland for Scuba Scott is beyond stupid as Scuba is nothing more than a brown nosing yes man.
Wilder as always has a punchers chance and could KO Whyte like Povetkin did, but Povetkin is much smarter in setting up his shots. Everyone knows it's Wilder's right hand that is the threat but Whyte isn't Fury he's far easier to hit and far more likely to make mistakes. Whyte no doubt would give him a stern test though I suspect Whyte makes one too many mistakes and gets caught, probably while ahead and gets stopped.
Whyte kicks his ass for several rounds and then Wilder comes from behind on the cards and KO's Whyte.
