Wilder lasted 11 rds and knocked down Fury twice. The #4 ranked heavyweight Whyte only lasted 6 rds and did not even hurt Fury.
I swear Whyte was considered the biggest top 5 hw bum of this generation according to critics and bf24 how does this prove anything with Wilder?
Think it is better to compare Wilder v Fury 2 and Fury v Whyte. As Fury was clearly sloppy and out of shape for the third fight, with the only objective of giving Wilder a prolonged beating. Not sure how this does anything for Wilder
Alright, Usyk almost STOPPED AJ as well with the bell ending 11 seconds early, a cruiserweight whos only known lacking quality is his power.
Usyk has power when he wants. It is the same as a young Fury...it is hard to apply power when you are fighting as a scientific boxer. You know what Tony Bellew and Marco Huck have in common? They are the two guys who were dumb enough to really **** Usyk off.
Wilder has dropped Fury 4 times in 3 fights. Whyte got toyed with in second gear and stopped with one punch when Fury started warming up. Not sure how you don't see Wilder has the clear edge in performances against Fury.
Exactly, three fights. 1. Fury was a still on the come back 2. Fury was in shape 3. Fury turned up overweight, slow and sloppy His performance in the second when Fury had gotten himself into decent shape didn't warrant a third. But a third he got... Who is to say the version of Fury we just got, doesn't dominate Wilder like he did in the second fight Granted Wilder has a hell of a better chin than Whyte though. Those fights certainly prove that he can absorb a sustained beating that Whyte's chin doesn't allow. But I'm not sure taking a beating in #2 is a good performance
Pretty much should have lost the 1st. Wilder was brutalize in the 2nd fight. Took another beating in the 3rd. Only thing I see is This prove Wilder has a better chin. Since he took beating in the 2nd and 3rd.
Exactly, the guy took such a bad beating in the 2nd that honestly it was uncomfortable viewing, and a small mercy when his corner threw in the towel. The guy had a look of sheer terror in his eyes at times. In fact, it was such a bad beating his own carefully constructed reality started falling apart in the months that followed.
Wilder knocks Whyte out and that was clear even before the Fury Wilder first fight. Whyte has a lot of guts and determination. But he has struggled with every single world level fighter he has faced. He has just done enough barely to get past Chisora twice, Parker and Rivas. He is in truth just around that level. He isn’t elite and has never been elite.
Whyte was always overrated. Killed by a 40yo and then resurrected by Eddie's necromancers. Gets dropped by almost everybody even in the fights he wins. I am sad Sulaiman gave him the shot at the title instead of removing him from the rankings once an for all. Terrible boxer.
Wilder is a tough sob. He looks more hurt than he actually is and has more to him than meets the eye. Ignoring the fact he's impossibly dangerous that boxing with him at range is a ticking time bomb. Whyte isn't too bad but he was always stylistically the worst match to beat Fury. Chisora is pretty bad also but he can come forward fairly well unlike Whyte. I kid you not if the ref gave a full count Wilder would have just about got up in that final knockdown which deservingly ended the bout.
