I keep seeing people calling him a come forward pressure fighter, likening his style to that of Chisora and saying that Fury will beat him the same way that Fury beat Chisora. I've never understood that comparison as to me he's much more of a boxer puncher, whereas Chisora is just an out and out come forward slugger Am I blind? Is there something I'm missing about his style?
who’s been saying that? They’re wrong his style is completely different to Chisora he is a counter puncher, with more tools in his arsenal than most heavyweights for example if he fought the pudgy skinny fat Fury... he would tear down that 6 ft 8 torso all day like chopping a tree. dillians body punches are vicious and brutal and have the desired effect all the time.. make you gas quicker... lose focus.. quit Fury is susceptible to body punches and this is aomething Chisora didnt bother/ wasnt capable of inflicting secondly, Dillian has a good jab which he uses tonset up all his punches... score points... deal damage... and disrupt the opponents rythm... he aint 6 foot 8 but he has good reach and Fury fights close anyway He varies the speed and power on his jab excelently... all things missing for Chisoras abilities
Whyte gets ridiculously underrated. He's game, tough, has a lethal left hook and can rip heavy shots into the body.
Dhillian Whyte is good. A rough fighter with a good left hook. But let's not forget that Parker would have put him to bed if the ref hadn't let him fight so dirty... He has stamina, decent power and skills. A good all rounder. But not a world beater. Fury is in a different league altogether. Ring IQ, physical strength's etc. Whyte is a gatekeeper. Not champ material.
He has already beaten young champs who have beaten other champs who have beaten AJ He is already champ material, and soon to be WBC champ? Fury struggled with wallin AJ got beat down by ruiz Wilder fought absolute bums... BUMS!
Whyte is a basic plodder He doesn't come forward & he doesn't like to go backwards either He is a boxer puncher He will be a sitting duck for Fury, He will fair even WORSE than Chisora. Fury will establish his jab and toy with him. It will be hard to watch it will be so one sided Whyte hasn't got the gas tank or boxing ability to beat Fury. He may fair well trading and going after Fury's body early but he can't maintain that attack.
If any of thats true, Fury would make the fight happen and shut this whole thing down for good. Instead, he is running like a lil girl to fight a tickover guy. Why is your hero running from the battle? Weak sauce.
Dillian Whyte would probably lose to even Wilder. Sitting at range like a dosser. Wilder will slam that right hand into his ugly mug. Whyte isn't a great brawler, people seem to have this image that he can tussle but against men his own size who have some stamina he can't. Big useless lump. If he can't finish off 50 year old Povetkin then he should retire and apologize to Fury We forgetting the fact he's a rioded juice turkey at 250+ pounds. Another pumped up weight lifter like AJ with big muscles but no substance. SKILLS pay the bills. I'd respect AJ and Whyte if they had stamina with their plodding footwork but they don't lol.
Whyte offered Wilder a career high pay day of 12 million dollars to fight him and Wilder didnt accept... he fought the same guys three times each for 2 million .... So shame Wilder doesnt share your confidence. Fury couldn't KO wallin, or anyone really. Who has he KOd? You know when a judge writes KO on the cards? Whereas Whyte has KOd one of the best chins in HW... Fury couldn't achieve that. FURY was competitive with WALLIN ....just LOL.... who is wallin??? Nobody man
Fury isn't a knockout artist and doesn't have 1 punch power...but he's traded that off for much more useful attributes. In a way it makes Fury's beatings much worse as you take a sustained beating. I promise you all like I promised you all with Wilder, Fury will deal with Whyte in a non contest. I like Whyte, I like him a lot...but he isn't getting a belt. He should gun for the IBF belt Fury will release after he beats AJ
Doesn't need to gun for the IBF, we coming for that WBC... fight or vacate.. or get sue'd. Or forever be known as the ultimate quack ducker... thats a bad look imo. I mean good fighter/bad fighter doesnt matter but to be seen as a CHICKEN.... that is an instant turn off for all fight fans... its disghusting... like a soldier running from the battlefield. There is no excuse not to fight whyte.. Fury honestly doesnt share your confidence in beating whyte... he comes from a "fighting" family... and has CLEARLY DUCKED WHYTE SEVERAL TIMES!!! FOR THE DIAMOND BELT AND FOR THE WBC BELT... and the WBC helped him duck whyte... by jumping the queue due to "commericial viability".... Pathetic state of boxing... and supposed fighters ... who have no balls. There is a ranking system... effing stick to it !
To be honest mate i'm so confident in Fury i'd love to see Fury Whyte I get a feeling though the WBC and Arum will find a way to evade him lmao. Fury does need to take control if they try to duck him. I will blame him. Although ducking for AJ is fine in my eyes. WBC need to get their crap together. What Bob Arum did/doing with Pacquiao and Crawford makes me nervous as hell. I am giving blame to Crawford now though.
He's a box puncher. He's not a all out aggressive slugger/puncher or a pure, slick boxer, he basically adapts how he fights to his opponents based on necessity to try and find a way to win. He usually likes to box behind the jab and hold his ground looking to counter guys that come to him as he doesn't have the best movement, he's not a pure out boxer hence why Joshua and Parker out boxed him at times. But he's also not particularly great inside either preferring to fight at mid range or long range, which is why he prefers to sit back and box and counter guys that press him like Rivas and Chisora, rather than pressure and get too close where he's less effective. But also when he is out boxed he is willing and able to press but once again always preferring to stay at mid to long range even when coming forward. Maybe this is why some say he's a come forward pressure fighter but that's not his preferred default, it's just something he's able to do when required, but it's not his usual modus operandi.
It's what we call Maximum Birdie Num Num Violence over on the streets of London Whyte needs to forget about trying to intimidate Povetkin because that's not going to happen in a million years. Povetkin is the definition of as cool as a cucumber and he doesn't need to put on a poker face because poker face is his natural state of being and he knows not fear. Whyte's not stupid and deep down he knows that he could stare into Sasha's eyes for eternity and not detect a hint of weakness or self-doubt in them. Povetkin's all business. No trash talk or pre or post-fight disrespect, he just trains, turn ups, throw bombs with mean intentions and fights his ass off. 'Dillian Whyte has warned Alexander Povetkin he can launch into an explosive assault at any moment of their heavyweight fight. The Brixton heavyweight came face to face with Povetkin at the final press conference for Saturday's crucial clash, live on Sky Sports Box Office, and Whyte made his brutal intentions clear to his Russian opponent. Povetkin, a former WBA champion, has only suffered defeat at the highest level to Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua, but Whyte is confident that he has more than enough firepower to produce an explosive knockout. "Povetkin is the most technical fighter I've fought," said Whyte. "He has beaten a lot of top guys. He's an Olympic gold medallist. He's only lost two fights "When the bell goes it doesn't matter if there's 100,000 people there or 100 people. You are zoned in. "When I'm in shape, you've got problems, because I can do what I like to do. I don't mind blowing up because I can recover, go again. Whatever he wants to do, I'm cool with it. "I don't like to make predictions. He is very experienced and can look after himself. He's a tough guy. But listen, if I land early? It is night night early. But he can do the same, as well." Whyte insists he is fully aware that Povetkin can derail his plans to challenge for the WBC belt, which is currently held by Tyson Fury. "The story of my life is pressure," said Whyte. "I've been under pressure my entire life. This is just another puzzle. There is more pressure because of the future, but that's in the future. Whyte risks his status as mandatory challenger for Tyson Fury's WBC belt "I'm fighting a consummate professional so I'm not bothered about Tyson Fury. I'm bothered about Povetkin." Povetkin has already savoured success in Britain with victories over David Price and Hughie Fury, and the big-hitting veteran has prepared for a dramatic encounter with Whyte. "I have taken responsibility to train for this fight, understanding how serious it is," he said. "You have to take Dillian seriously. This content is protected
