Listened to a post fight interview with Dillian Whyte. He is delusional, thinks the fight was very close and he was starting to get more and more success to the body. His old trainer Mark Tibbs who worked wonders with him predicted his slow feet would be an issue and predicted Fury finishing it with uppercut. I think him getting rid of Mark Tibbs was a huge mistake. What are people's thoughts? Still would not have won with Tibbs mind you.
I posted long before Usyk stepped up to Heavyweight that he would pose the biggest threat to Fury's undefeated record due to his hand speed, ring IQ, heart and skillset. Whyte will always struggle against Fury and Usyk types with Wilder a big danger to his health but he is a live contender against the rest. Fury has went to a level I did not see coming with Sugar Hill and Whyte can improve under the right trainer once he accepts his weaknesses and works on improving these areas. Wladimir Klitschko packed serious glass and had serious stamina issues but Steward worked on his weaknesses making sure his chin was never exposed. Whyte is now 34 and he can come again but has no more time to waste dealing with his weaknesses. Sadly for him another defeat has him taking over the Dull Boy Chisora role

Whyte will never be a top dog, he does not have the punch resistance, or speed. You would think someone that slow would do dancing lessons to improve speed of feet.
Usyk could even be in front of Fury on points, but Fury would stop him late imo. Remember listening to Steve Egan (Fury's amateur coach) who said Fury would be like a dumper truck against Uysk, Just go right over the top of him by imposing his size.
He needed to arrive on the World Scene at the same time as Joshua as he had every chance of winning a World Title with some of the worst World Champions around at the time.
Fury is the man to beat now but Usyk would be the most difficult test for him out of the current crop - I think he would have to stop Usyk to win the fight. Saying that Fury has surprised me from his win in Dusseldorf and it is going to take a seriously good contender to beat him.
Thing is is that people talk about Usyk like he's not smart and Fury can keep the pace that Usyk can set. This won't be about size, but smarts.
Not at all. Usyk is a genius like Fury. I think ability wise, ring IQ wise they are both very similar (elite), it's just that Fury has the physical advantages too.
