    I wont be shocked at all - I expect Whtye to knock him out. I think he is the most overrated HW ever. If Wilder was a half decent boxer who knew how to box and put his punches together rather than fight like a street fighter he would had finsihed off Fury. Wallin was giving prime Fury a beating

    LOL, not even close. Fury doesn't have the popularity or the aura Tyson had when Douglas beat him. But not many fighters have.

    It'd be a moderate size upset. I don't know anyone tapping him to win

    People are sleeping on Whyte IMHO which I find a bit strange as he has a left hook that is very good at rendering otherwise durable fighters prostate or unconscious and he is a viscous body puncher and Fury has an awful lot of body to hit.

    Fury should make this look like his second Chisora fight but, I do wonder......

    Prefight Odds for Tyson vs. Douglas: About 42-1 Tyson.
    Prefight Odds for Fury vs. Whyte: About 5-1 Fury.

    A Whyte win would be about the same as Caleb Plant's upset win over Jose Uzcategui in 2019 to win a super middleweight belt.

    Next weekend will be business as usual and you guys will be shifting these, uh, expectations onto the next bare ass in the shower.

    Fury is destined for immortality. Keep hating, keep hoping.

    Given Fury is clearly looking to shift and jive Whyte's chances have got even lower.

    Whyte will end up goading him out of desperation & Fury will troll him with a flicking jab that turns his head into a balloon.

    No. Because Whyte is universally recognised as a top 5 heavyweight whereas Iron Mike Tyson was a dominant champion who seemed invincible and Buster a talented but lazy boxer with very sound fundamentals was seen as a no hoper. Douglas was more naturally talented than Whyte and Tyson Fury is not as dominant as Iron Mike Tyson or anywhere close. Whyte is a live underdog in this fight.

    If he loses there won’t be a rematch. Count on that. Whyte would go for the biggest money fight which AJ and or undisputed heavyweight championship fight.

    Whyte is a physically strong powerful man like Chisora but his boxing skills are better. Fury cannot man handle him the way he did Wilder.

    Fury was in a really bad shape in his last fight. Also, Whyte has a good left hook and Wallin could land left hook at will.
