[margaret thatcher]

it's a little push, only a snowflake would care much about it

Would you believe Tommy was really wanting Whyte to win?

[JoeCorrao]

This might be the worst era ever for heavies. Fury is a grabber who has no real opponents other than age. He would not have beaten either Klitscho or Lewis...or a Larry Holmes for that mater. IMHO

[margaret thatcher]

he already beat one of the klits

[Bandog]

he already beat one of the klits

Oh yeah I forgot. Was that the fight where Fury had more feints than punches landed?

Being taller is the only advantage Fury has over great heavyweights. He would never have beaten either of the prime Klit brothers. He knew he got away with one vs an old Wlad, then ducked the rematch, and was caught with PEDS and drugs. He'll retire is Usyk wins.

i guess he spent too much time with luis ortiz

[Ruthless-RKO]

ya, no punch lands at all here , whyte's head just magically swiveled and his face twisted into putty by the gust of air

Ya, none of the heavyweights ever took a flimsy punch like that! Lololol. Go back and watch Bowe and Holyfield, any round you want. There were about 390 of these punches.

You pussy Europeans are something else

How come no one is taking about the push?
What was the need for that?

He was gonna fall down wasn’t he. Fury just helped send him on his way.

I have seen pushes in the past after a KO punch, but non like this.

If Europeans are soooo pussy then why don't you go and beat them and prove yourself etc?

[H8Usernames]

Where are all the Whyte fanboys that were saying that Whyte deserves the fight because of this and because of that and that it is so important that this fight take place?

Whyte's bank balance improved, mission accomplished I guess?

[H8Usernames]

What about the Whyte deserves atleast 55% of the purse 50% 45% etc discussion. Shall we resurrect that one? Whyte should take the wbc to court to demand a higher % of the purse right?

[handsofstone]

Whyte could be the worst actor in history. He barely got hit with that. “The Perfect Punch”? Give me a break. The push down was worse than the punch.

That my friends, was a first class dive. Not claiming Fury had anything to do with it but I can guarantee you that punch was just not enough to do what it did. Sad. Whyte never wanted to bring that belt home. He looked uncoordinated all night like he’s never thrown a left hand in his life. What a pathetic F’ng performance. One of the worst I’ve ever seen on a big stage like this. Just a flounder

Just goes to show you can watch boxing for years and still be clueless, Current Scene man

Thanks. I had a few drinks, but calmed down after a bit, and my cooler head prevailed.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Shocking scorecards there..



How the judge gave Whyte rd 2 and r3..

The ONLY ONE round Whyte could have won was rd1, and even that most probably gave Fury.

[DrDuke]

The Klitschko era was far worse.

I wouldn’t say it was far worse..

Wlad just held al the best and fought all his mandatories and the odd voluntary.

Unfortunately, the opponents where not always so good.

After the 90’s the HW’s not been the same.

American Heavyweights went down hill.

No 6ft plus 200 pound plus American wants to box.

They’re rather go into Basketball or Football.

[Brute]

I saw the push as Fury hitting Whyte in the chest with both the knuckle part of the gloves of both fists.

Did you see the look on Whyte's face after the uppercut? He was hurt, mate! When he got up from the knockdown the referee had to hold him so he did not fall down again. Knocking a man out is not a matter of hitting him hard but hitting him properly.

[Bandog]

I think Ed "Too Tall" Jones, 6'9", 6-0 as a professional that played football for the Dallas Cowboys would have beaten Fury possibly.

[Cap]

Did anyone really think Dillian Whyte was going to come out on top? He's 35 and past his best before date. He got KO'd by 42 yr old Povetkin before he managed to knock him out in the return. Whyte never decisively beat any half decent heavyweight. He's another retread who, at his peak, would've been a prelim fighter back in the eighties.

The best of the heavies right now is probably Oleksandr Usyk, but at 6' 3" , despite being way more talented, he'll have trouble getting to 6'9" 265lb Fury. Fury will clutch and grab and lean all over Usyk, and wear him down in an ugly fight.

Sooner or later another fighting giraffe will come along and beat Fury, but by then no one will care.

The post Lewis era, basically the Klitschko brothers era, was worse. There was literally nobody out there who could really match up to either of them. Too short, too old, too limited, too gunshy, etc.

With this era you at least have competitiveness--- Fury is clearly number one, Usyk is arguably number two, Wilder is number three, Joshua is number four, and Ruiz is number five. On any given night the other four could beat each other. But I don't think any of them beats Fury.

Tyson Fury is simply too big, too athletic, too skilled, and he has great will and determination combined with damn good conditioning even if he will never win a body beautiful contest. He would have been a tough assignment for any heavyweight in history.

I think the only ones who would have gave him trouble from the past would have been Holmes, Lewis, and Foreman--- honorable mention Vitali Klitschko, due to his own size and heart. Of course we can agree to disagree, but it seems to be a common pattern here at BoxRec that every time Fury wins a fight that all of these opponents suddenly become bums and were never good or they were too old.

Check the credentials:

8 year reigning champion w/ 20+ defenses
Another champion w/ 10 defenses 3x's
The #1 contender for 3 years

Then throw in the fact that Fury was British and Irish and European champion, and being two time heavyweight champion of the world in 33 total fights. That's quite the achievement considering in the early going most people assumed that it would be David Price who would have ended up being heavyweight champion and that Fury would go nowhere.

Plus the fact that in the midst of all of that Fury had a mental breakdown and gained up to 400 pounds and made arguably the greatest comeback in boxing history due to his faith in Jesus Christ Almighty God and his own desire to prove every single critic wrong.

If he faces Usyk and wins, I would hate to hear all of the excuses and familiar statements made by the usual suspects on this forum: "Usyk was just too small," "The Joshua fights & the war in the Ukraine took everything out of Usyk," etc--- when so many people have basically said that Usyk not only would beat Tyson Fury but that the Ukrainian is better than Evander Holyfield.

If Joshua beats Usyk, and then Fury beats him, I suspect that most people would say the victory was meaningless because Joshua already lost twice already, etc--- therefore Tyson Fury is always in this position where he will never get the credit that he actually deserves in a way a lot like Larry Holmes, Lennox Lewis, Ezzard Charles, and Gene Tunney.

Quite frankly, after Joshua and Usyk, there literally is nobody out there. Nobody with a straight face is ever going to say Joe Joyce can actually beat Tyson Fury. Nobody with a mind for boxing is ever going to say that Andy Ruiz could ever actually beat Tyson Fury. Etc

In a way it's a predicament a bit like Rocky Marciano, where you fast forward decades later and people want to bring up Floyd Patterson or Earl Walls or Bob Satterfield, etc when none of those guys were really on the radar when Rocky retired. Some critic will always bring up a name even if they had no chance of winning.

Jesus Christ Almighty God bless you all

[margaret thatcher]

it will be LOL to retire on whyte rather than fighting the josh-usyk 2 winner for the undisputed. would be a mega fight, a big achievment, and a huge win for him. way bigger than beating whyte (kod by aj and aj victim pov) obviously, bigger than winning a rematch over wilder too

if he beats everyone, as many think, he'd be dumb not to take that fight at least before retiring. he has tons to gain in legacy and cash

win that, then his retirement makes sense
