Nah Whyte beat Parker and several other names to show he is World class in my opinion, Povetkin flash KO aside. Fury's just a whole level above the others bar possibly Usyk.

agree

Good partnership, Sugar Hill and Fury.

Usyk undoubtedly more skilled, but how does he beat such a big bloke on the backfoot?
I can't see it. Hopefully it happens!

Helenius is really the same size as Fury, with more power and a lot less skill, and so because of how poor Whyte was against him I regarded his weight a big mistake. He needed to be lighter and quicker at closing the gap.

Sparked by Joshua, sparked by Pov, hanging on for dear life against Parker, life and death twice with Chisora, now sparked by Fury too. Long way away from world class.

X2
Parker was boxing rings around him until the head clash, and when he came right in the last two rounds he still had enough to have Whyte life and death.
Whyte is now 3x proven second tier.

Yeh but he's 34 and he's not going to get any better. It's alright talking about 'true boxing greatness' but what is that worth if you end up like Herol Graham, Michael Gomez and Pat Barrett?

I beg to differ, he seems to love eating them.

Parker looks doubly crap now. Joyce will steamroller him.

agree. He also needed to get in there and stop trying to box a much better boxer!

Running from usyk, trying to fight francis. but got a laugh with fury asking inganu about the size of his cock and inganu not undertanding.

I do hope Fury has a few more fights left in him. There's the obvious 2, but also up and comers like Jalalov, Hrgovic, Makmhdov etc. If he could go on to make 5 or 6 more title defences, he'd be up there with the very best.

Top class performance.

I've always said, Joyce gives Fury his toughest fight.

It would be a painful beat down like the Chisora fight .

Think Whyte being nothing more than Chisora level European but definetly not world elite ,, made Fury look good ,,, I think he would be too big for Usyk , but i would still put a tenner on Joyce or AJ purely because there more his size and both far better than Whyte .

Still i knew what too excpect i said days ago , Whtye was no better than Chisora and would'nt do any better

To me the term 'world class' does me second tier. 'Elite level' means top tier.

I think that accurately defines Whyte - he is a European level Chisora

TBF, I think his premature tiredness dictated that approach. This is why I'm so keen on Joyce, who's too placid to get riled by Fury, with the energy and chin to seriously test him.

I only fancied Whyte to win if Fury lost his cool early and started swinging, potentially then eating a big counter. But naugties aside he didn't, and arrived in much better condition than Whyte. That was the workmanlike-wins version of Whyte, against his best opponent since AJ.

Nar, Joyce has faster feet, far better endurance and a much better chin than Delboy. Still the most underrated HW out there imo. Watch him walk through and stop Parker when they fight.

Who, Whyte or Fury?

Whyte wouldn’t get near Usyk
