    Of these 3 big PPV fights (2 in UK, one in USA) before the end of the year where there are heavy favourites in each fight ... who has the best chance of providing the upset??

    My opinion, although Tyson Fury is by far the shortest odds - I think Dillian Whyte has the best chance as if you mute the hype machine, there is very little to seperate their records (knock everyone out, neither been beyond 4 rounds ... )

    Whyte would have been beyond 4 rounds 3 times if the fights were scheduled for more than 4. Which brings me to my next point: He hasn't knocked everyone out.

    That said I agree looking at the records there isn't a great deal in it

    Personally I'd give Fury the best chance, followed by Whyte, followed by Lemieux.

    Fury is romping home with this ... I guess the the thinking is GGG unbeaten, Joshua unbeaten.

    Wlad KOd 3 times, on the floor a great many more than that and 40 in a couple of months fighting a bigger man in his 20s who is unbeaten.

    I still think Whyte's 8/1 odds are nuts vs a guy he has beaten and knocked down twice as an am just a few years ago and has no better record than him as a pro!
