So you're giving him a pass? :oo
I haven't written him off yet, I think the Fury that beat Whyte will beat Uysk and AJ.
It's possible that the African was a one off, lack of training, styles, attitude etc.
However if he genuinely is shot, he won't beat either of them.
Even if he loses v Uysk, we will be able to see if he is shot or not.
But Whyte had been shot to sh*t for ages. His punch resistance had gone. Fury beating him was a long overdue mandatory obligation, not a pick 'em fight.
I don't really disagree with you, and feel Whyte was overrated at world title level as well.

Nevertheless I would have made Fury a strong favourite to beat AJ at that point.
Now the Usyk fight will show us where he is.
I still fancy Fury to beat Uysk at the moment, styles, size etc.
Nevertheless if Fury wins by just being too big, I may still start to feel he is slipping badly, let's see
