    Consider his resume . A 39 year old Wlad and an overrated Wilder. That’s it. He might be number one.

    I don`t know but he is the No.1 inside fighter Fury will have fought, Wilder had no inside game and Wlad simply clinched on the inside like Fury does, no inside punches were landed in the Wlad v Fury fight.

    Whyte would lose to the WK, Wilder & Wallin Fury fought .. Chisora on his best night beats him too.

    Is Whyte better than Otto Wallin, who he recently ducked, in one of the most blatant ducks in history?

    Fury still clearly has the best record at heavyweight. After he starches Whyte it will be

    Klitschko, Wilder, Wilder, Wilder, Wallin, Cunningham, Whyte, Chisora, Johnson, Pianeta and the legendary Seferi.

    Road warrior, undefeated, won every belt in boxing available to him, the man who beat the man and has won bouts in countless ways.

    An over rated Wilder that only Fury has been able to beat,yes he has flaws no doubt but until somebody else is able to prove otherwise and beat him like Fury did he’s still a top 3 ranked Heavyweight imo .

    No inside punches were landed in Fury Wlad?

    Fury tapped his ass literally whilst man handling him

    Whyte has no inside ability. He's catch with his face and counter or wing like a headless chicken, which Fury will force him to do.

    Number 3 behind Wladimir and Wilder.

    However, we will never know how large or if a gulf exists between Whyte and Wilder. I would not pick anyone Wilder fought to beat him aside from Fury and Ortiz.

    He's better than Wilder for sure.

    this, :deal:

    "windmill" wilder is not the best boxer ever, but I think that if we can deduce something from his fights vs fury it is that he was less overrated than what most of you (us?) thought. Maybe he was not so overrated. I have always given wilder more credit than the average user in this forum though, so maybe I'm biased. But were I a trainer, I would consider wilder dangerous as F and I would try to build my boy's career as far away from him as possible.

    A different question is if Fury destroyed him forever or not.

    Good to see you're back again.

    Hammer has to be there too, certainly above Pianeta and probably Johnson. He has wins over Kevin and Teper in close fights and an obligatory KO of Pricey.

    Thanks, sir.

    You are right. I actually forgot to put him in there somewhere around Pianeta and Johnson. That Hammer Fury beat was "ok".

    Maybe on paper but there are several Fury opponents at the time Fury fought them that I think would beat Whyte the obvious being Klitchko and Wilder but I would give the following a good shot at beating Whyte
    Chisora, Cunningham, Wallin, Hammer

    Hammer?! No chance, he's always been a journeyman. He would be Furys 3rd best(unless Wallin amounts to something) He might be AJs 3rd best win as well.

    No it isn't. You don't get credit for fighting Wilder 3 times also Fury schooled him in the first fight it's the most lopsided trilogy I've seen. That and the fact Wilder was always shite and untested against anyone else......it's still the same opponent. Pianeta and Seferi? Gtfoh....
    Joshua still has the best resume if not the best wins.
    I hope your trolling and not showing signs of dementia.

    I’m not even convinced that Whyte is better than the undefeated version of Chisora that Fury schooled. Especially considering Whyte went life and death with an older, aged version of Chisora twice - I personally had Chisora winning their first bout.

    And Whyte is definitely not better than Wallin who he blatantly ducked.

    At the very best, Whyte may be Fury’s 4th best opponent, but I’d say he’s more likely 5th or 6th.
