"I cant box with this guy he is like 6'20" or something and awkward. i'm coming to rough him up manhandle him and chop him down, he has a softbody i will work it all day and night. This big usrless lump is going to meet a 300 pound titan, not the 245lb skinny whippet kid he met in 2012. Going to get killed. Fury by KO in 3 rounds. Whyte has no head movement or footspeed he cant get in on Fury quick enough His heart will fail him afterr he drops his nuts after taking a couple of jabs. Then he'll either quit or get KO'd. It will be like the Tom Schwartz bout but worse
Chisora was the same but he managed to give Usyk a few problems. Whyte packs more of a punch a HW than Usyk does so I think he'll give Tyson a problem if he connects. Edit: typo
Shyte doesn't have half the chin of Chisora or willingness to go head first, Fury is also way bigger than Usyk and more powerful
How is Chisora the same? Chisora has a lot of head/waist movement. He also shifts and double shifts to cover ground very quickly for a man his size. Whyte does neither.
At least Whyte can work that out. It's a little hard to know the exact nature of this fight. Fury isn't fighting the same as he used to, so he might not fight Whyte like he did Chisora II. We can't really base the outcome on some of those other fights now, since Sugar Hill has told Fury he's an invincible big dog with one punch KO power and to always go for the stoppage. This plays into Whyte's hands, obviously. Fury can still win a brawl, but he rolls the dice there. Fury is smart by boxer standards but he still has the ego/bravado that can draw him into a bad strategy and now a coach who is encouraging that. So it wouldn't surprise me if Fury was an utter idiot in this fight and got himself in trouble. At the same time, he could come in and fight very smart, stay out of trouble and break down Whyte or beat him easily on points. But the way Fury is packing on weight now, he might not have the speed and endurance to have the defence he once had, so he might be stuck with the ''big dog'' style now for good.
80% of me says that Fury is going to manhandle him, 20% of me says that Fury is not the same fighter as he was, and Whyte has a terrific ability to stay up in the punch count, meaning that this could be a better fight than people think.
This content is protected That would be nice to see. The first White fight for the title, the question is whether there will be a second chance.
Whyte saying Fury is soft in the body,.. The fat deposits around Tyson Fury's love handles have always been there throughout his career and act as shock absorbers to any bodyshots thrown at him. If Whyte decides to box he gets out-boxed, if he decides to manhandle he gets out-manhandled. Whyte's best option probably would be to come in around 260lb as he did vs Parker.. and then try rough Fury up while keeping his left hook locked and loaded hoping to catch Fury. Fury though probably gonna be at around 280lbs...
It might be his only chance. He isn’t going to outbox Fury and the longer it goes the more chance he has of eating jabs and quick combos as Dillian’s footwork won’t keep up. I always thought this would be one sided, as the fight draws nearer the confidence in that prediction grows. I guess it may boil down to what Fury shows up more than anything - his own unpredictability may be a bigger factor.
Fury used to be very sloppy before world level and Dillian Whyte still is very sloppy at world level.
"A few problems" Usyk coasted to a win losing only two rounds. It was a snoozefest. If anybody thinks that Whyte has more than a puncher's chance against Fury, then they are on a hiding to nothing. Whyte has no head movement, is not agile, can't take a punch these days and has stamina problems. It's a recipe for disaster against Fury.
