    Id expect a wide UD for Fury.

    Thte game plan would surely be to just 1-2 whyte from distance? You dont want to be anywhere near in range for big hook shot. That would be an unnecessary risk, but if the Wallin Fury showed up, who knows.

    Everybody can beat anybody . One lucky punch can end anyone no matter who you are . If we take that out of the equation then realistically whyte shouldn’t beat fury.

    Whyte is pretty good, but Fury is on another level most of the time. Would rather see Whyte vs Wilder.

    Whyte has the most powerful single punch in the division.

    He can, but it's not very likely.
    He will never get one of his controversial decisions against Fury, so he would have to knock him out.

    True but I believe this is a fight where Whyte needs to dictate the pace even though he isnt a natural offensive fighter.

    its important he makes Fury feel uncomfortable with the pressure and not the other way round otherwise Fury will stay long all day frustrating Whyte as he tries to close the distance.

    whyte clearly at reach disadvantage but not so much that he cant find the target with the right timing

    he cant afford to let Fury pick him off like Fury did to chisora.. otherwise he will
    Lose
    On points

    he gotta find ways in constantly to tear that body down by mid rounds in order to execute the kill.

    he has his work cut out for him... dont believe Fury is as durable as wach.. but he is a superior fighter technically and fast

    I agree with a lot of this but I would worry about Whytes gas tank. Fury is so much fitter than Whyte. If Whyte doesn't win early the second half of the fight could be a landslide.

    Judging from Whyte's last fight he's not getting any better at this stage of his career,,, 10 -1 against it

    Could he? Yes buster Douglas beat tyson

    Is it likely? Of course not

    Whyte is levels below and would be like chisora 2 all over again

    Thats true,. However he is usually the beefier man in the ring and always pushing the pace never taking rounds off... so he will appear to gas however body shots zap a lot of your energy when they hit you

    everyone of his opponents has felt the pain of it... maybe that can level the playing field... george foreman like body blows all night

    but yeah whyte is not a favourite in that fight

    While I do agree that body work is essential to any gameplan that beats Fury, it is not easy to get to the body while dealing with gorilla armed jabs and twinkle toed side steps.

    agreed, he will need a solid gameplan to achieve it

    Whytes previous opponent Oscar Rivas did a great job of avoiding whytes left hook all night... wonderful example of a solid gameplan being executed and perfected during training

    I honestly don't see Whyte posing much threat. If he fights the way he did against Parker and push the pace, he may sneak a few rounds, but he'll need a much better gas tank. The promotions and press-conferences will be GOAT level though.
