Tyson tends to perform according to the level of opposition he’s facing, which means he can often deliver lacklustre performances.
So it’s wrong to automatically assume that Tyson will dominate Whyte with consummate ease.
In terms of boxing skills, Dillian Whyte is far superior than Deontay Wilder.
Even though 'The Bronze Bomber' possesses Hall-of-Fame like power, 'The Body Snatcher' is very heavy-handed. Dillian will be busier than Deontay and will also land more frequently.
I also believe that the 250lbs Dillian Whyte is phenomenally strong. From purely a powerlifting perspective, his physical strength is vastly superior than Fury’s and Wilder’s, which means I don't think he'll run out-of-gas due to Tyson constantly leaning on him and grappling.
I genuinely believe that the current iteration of Dillian Whyte is better than the forty-year-old past-his-prime passive version of Wladimir Klitschko and today’s version of Deontay Wilder.
In my mind, Dillian Whyte possesses a Carl Froch-like mind-set.
He’s an overachiever that fights as if he doesn’t know how to lose - he always believes he can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. He always gave a good account of himself.
Stylistically-speaking, Dillian Whyte is capable of posing challenges that none of Fury’s previous opponents’ have posed, such as being on the receiving end of rough-house tactics from a physically stronger man with a fantastic engine, coupled with a relentless assault to the body.
That said, I’m not suggesting that Tyson isn’t capable of dominating Dillian Whyte, because styles make fights - it’s just that I feel that it is unlikely.
Put it this way, if the various betting websites consider Whyte to be a massive underdog against Fury, then I’ll be sorely tempted to place a bet on ‘The Body Snatcher’ to score the upset.
