Thanks, polite way to disagree! I might be wrong about Whyte, I haven't seen a lot of his fights, but from what I've seen he is big, fast for his size, and athletic with a dangerous left hook and he creates angles to use it. Whyte looks formidable to me, especially when his size and strength are factored in. I've seen Whyte vs. Browne, Povetkin, Joshua, and maybe a few others. I also watched the HL video posted at the front of this thread. He looks like a fighter to avoid unless there is a compelling reason to fight him.

I suspect that a lot of fighters who are considered ATGs would not look good/impressive in a ring with Tyson Fury. Fury is a one of a kind. A 6-9, 275 pound fighter with great fighting instinct, quickness, movement, strength, good power...the only thing he might lack is that he is probably not a conditioning fanatic. Losing to TF does not diminish a fighter IMO.

I respect your input.Whyte didnt look in top shape against Fury and was swinging wildly as early as the 2 rd rd when he ran out of ideas and began blowing too.He seemed to have no game plan at all .I though he would at least give Fury some uncomfortable ,moments but he offered nothing .

No problem, Pat. I really enjoy your posts and insights, a great poster.

I think Whyte is fortunate to have had Hearn in his corner. Whenever he's stepped up to the top boys he's been laid out. B level at best, maybe C.
