    Whyte had already been stopped twice brutally by Joshua and an old version of Povetkin. And then after the loss to Fury followed that up with a very controversial decision vs Franklin. It's a solid win for Fury but that's it I don't think it gets underrated its rated how it should be.

    Chisora to my knowledge has never been ranked in the top 10, and beating the same fighter for a 3rd time. When none of the other fights were particularly competitive is not really an "underrated win" Chisora is a fringe contender at best.

    They have both lost every single meaningful fight they’ve ever had. Chisora has double digit losses. Your opinion of if someone has a comfortable night or not is irrelevant, the fact is they are both fat plodders.

    Furys 2nd win over Chisora was one of the most one sided schoolings ever, And Fury rrally showed his ability, when Chisora was in his prime and still giving decent fighters good fights.

    Whyte is a decent win. He lost to a post-40 Povetkin, and there is that, but it is a decent win.

    He gets no credit whatsoever for beating a fringe contender that he already dominated twice. In fact, it is pathetic.

    Watch the rep of Whyte rise on here as soon as he is signed up to fight Joshua .

    I think the win over Wallin was better considering Whyte ducked him, he beat Gassiev, and he gave Fury a load of trouble. Chisora was cooked and Fury had already beaten him twice which made the fight even more disgraceful.

    Still Pulev was tailor made for AJ and it’s not as good a win as the Whyte fight. Ngannou despite the trouble he gave Fury is an MMA guy - people are losing their minds over that KO and need to calm down a bit.

    The defeat to Ruiz will always be embarrassing and I don’t think the guy was ever that good. His performance against Ortiz was actually pretty terrible considering the guy was 43 years old.

    Before the Fury fight Chisora was 1-3 in his last four fights. How the **** is that underrated ? Whyte win was just a stay busy fight.

    I remember when this narrative was being pushed - some of the worst excuse making I’ve ever seen for a duck.

    I feel you're taking two completely different fights and lumping them together as one.
    I agree that Whyte is a solid win. Not an astounding win, as he was a declining top 10 force, but reasonable as a marking time Fight over a solid contender - on the way to bigger and better things.
    And here's the problem. There hasn't been bigger and better things.
    He fought Chisroa, a declining force who Fury had already twice beaten. Not the kind of victory you want if claiming to be an ATG. And it was the beginning of him doing 'circus' fights instead of taking on the biggest threats.
    So, on balance, Fury only had himself to blame. Fans would be much more forgiving if these fights were sandwiched against more meaningful wins.

    I think they were quite good wins as just phone it in jobs. Impressed by how easily Fury handled them.

    But Povetkin a good win for Whyte.... That I don't agree with.

    Otherwise a pretty solid OP.

    Neither gave Fury the trouble Wallin did, or half the trouble Ngannou did. So hard to see "easily better". Could be on par, though.
