    So many here says Fury is going to outbox and KTFO Whyte. I don't believe he will. I expect its going to be tough war. Fury probably wins, but don't underestimate Whyte's power.

    Remember that Whyte KO'd Chisora (Iron chin) and Povetkin (decent chin). He also dropped Parker (Iron chin) and almost had Joshua down and out.

    Whyte needs to land only one good left hook and Fury will go down, and it will make it a war or Fury gets KTFO'd.

    Shyte cannot beat Fury under any circumstances. The gap in ability is far too vast.

    Fury took Wilders biggest shots and rallied to victory. Shytes sloppy left hook, slow feet, low iq and styrofoam chin will not suffice in this match up. We all know Povetkin was shot to bits. Shyte will get no credit for that win.

    Whyte beating Fury would violate the laws of physics, he can't KO Fury, he can't outbox Fury, and he can't land anything meaningful to get a gift decision.

    A Whyte victory simply can't happen.

    Just like 80% of the people were saying that AJ was going to KO Usyk inside 6 rounds. humans are naive and just repeat what majority of people around are saying.

    Fury was trash against WIlder and you are only as good as your latest fight - I am using this logic...

    Wilder is techncially awful and he managed to drop Fury twice in their last fight. Whyte has better technique and got power to drop Fury. I don't also see Fury to have the legs to dance anymore 12 rounds (at 280lbs). So Whyte will have many chances to land that left hook.

    Fury is clearly the big favourite but I don't think it's going to be all one sided. Fury is inconsistent, Whyte is dangerous, so I expect it to be a more competitive fight that many suspect. But in the end Fury is just the better fighter and has the ability to adapt and to raise his performance when needed and so will likely come out on top either winning a UD or even stopping Whyte late.

    You're wrong, Fury wasn't in good shape and wasn't motivated in the trillogy. He'll show the world on april 23rd why he's the best heavyweight ever

    What will Shyte do when Fury sticks that jab in his face ? Absolutely nothing.

    Shyte can't walk someone as big as Fury down, Shyte can't work Fury's body. Fury's mid section is too durable. Shyte can't fight a 6'9 super heavyweight yetti up close, he'd be walking into a wood chipper. Shyte can't land that left hook, Fury's too slick.

    Shyte can't drop Fury, and even if he did he wouldn't be able to finish him off, Fury's survival skills will see him through, like he did against Wilder

    If bums like Wilder can have moments of success v Fury, so can Whyte

    lol but there's a big difference in Usyk and Whyte.

    Usyk was undefeated and undisputed CW champ. He had obvious ability. Whyte was KO'd by Povetkin just before he cashed in his ****ing pension.

    Fury should win this by wide decision or maybe even a stoppage.
    But Fury is Fury. He should have dominated Wallin, USS and Pajkic too... he didn't.
    Fury isn't one of those boxers like Lennox, Wlad, Ali, Louis, Holmes, Tyson and such, who can string all comers together and come out on top. He just isn't consistent enough with conditioning and morale.

    Whyte has a chance. It isn't good and losing the pursebid is bad for his chances, but it is obviously there.

    NO, he was just a little cruiserweight, who will stuggle in HW. It's not hard to see peoples post all around the internet before AJ fight.

    I know people wrote him off, but what I'm saying is you cannot compare the writing off of Whyte as the same as Usyk because Usyk has achieved a lot and is a much better fighter than Whyte.

    What has Whyte proved? He was KO'd by 41 year old Povetkin. His best win is Parker. He's never held a belt in his life.

    Exactly. Is Whyte elite? No but he's not the complete bum painted by many on here either. Fury should beat Whyte but it isn't a given as it's Heavyweight boxing. The fact is that I've posted many times already. is that Fury should have beaten Wilder even quicker in the 3rd fight after being dominant in the 2nd. It wasn't he was very laboured getting hit a lot despite Wilder being gassed after 2 rounds. Wilder dogged it out and showed guts. however an elite heavy would have smelt blood and sparked Wilder very quickly after showing weakness. I'm a Fury fan but the overrating by people on here is ridiculous. considering a wafer thin resume and the lack of training he has before most fights. There comes a point where that doesn't work and he gets outpointed. it's not like he's high output as seen in the Vlad fight he just did enough in each round to nick it. Fighters can look invincible when umbeaten then that can switch on a dime then the same fighter is seen in a completely different light and look average in hindsight.

    Fury has gone incognito because he KNOWS how dangerous Whyte is.....

    ....yet the keyboard experts on here think it will be easy for him.

    A man who has waited 4 years for his big moment will not come unprepared.

    If Fury doesn't take it seriously, Whyte could KO him, but if he does, and Fury is the same as he was in 2020, Whyte is getting obliterated.
