Whyte deserves a shot, but he is not a tough opponent

[JakeTheBoxer]

I still say Whyte deserves a shot for being top 5 heavyweight in last 5-6 years nearly all the time. But I also feel he is not a tough fight for Tyson Fury.

I would say Usyk, Joyce, Joshua, even some novices like Hrgovic, Sirenko, Makhmudov would be more dangerous fights.

Whyte goes life and death with everybody that can actually box, he had a hard time even with Wach.

I see Whyte as prestigious but an easy fight for Tyson. I hope they make the fight.

I think that any unbiased boxing fan without an agenda knows that Fury would completely outbox Dillian Whyte.

There's levels to this game, and outside of a lucky punch, Whyte has no chance.

This is why he's asking for 10 million, it's an attempted cash out.

Bob Arum has come out and stated that Andy Ruiz Junior and Robert Helenius are Tyson Fury's next possible opponents.

So there is no point in mentioning most of those fighters in your post.

For whatever reason, Team Fury does not want to face Dillian Whyte or even Joe Joyce,

Fury is not held to a high standard by his hardcore fans, or even boxing media 'It is a political position Fury, strategically has placed himself in'.

All part of the game, very smartly done.

Note: There is no point in Fury's hardcore fans stating things like 'Everyone knows it will be a easy fight'. If a new superman movie was made, most people know that superman is going to win in the end 'The movie will still be a blockbuster'. Tyson Fury vs Dillian Whyte is a blockbuster fight, it has all the ingredients 'Passion, Brutality and genuine dislike between the fighters.

I think whyte is a great opponent at this stage. Fury has been accused at times of not much depth to resume. In beating whyte, fury will be beating a man with many good wins, so fury can at least boast he'd beat everyone whyte beat if he fought them.

But true, that's not to say Joyce or hrgovic wouldn't beat whyte also. But their resumes not as good as dillians

I'd give Whyte little chance against Fury really. No way in the world is he going to outbox him, all he has is a punchers chance and even then Fury has just beaten a bigger puncher with faster hands 3 times out of 3.

But he deserves his shot. I'm sure an agreement can be ironed out for that Fury fight even if right now they ain't singing from the same page. I just hope Team Fury don't put less than minimal effort in to getting a deal sorted and then just walk away pretending that they did all they could. Honestly that's the vibe I'm getting off them right now.

Bit fat and slow for Tyson, bit too close to Chisora in like...every way. Pretty sure Tyson beats him without much different than the Chisora fights....there was two right? **** I only remember one. The snoozer one that was so easy for Tyson he was asking the ref when dude's gonna call it.

Fury on form should beat Whyte pretty easily, but you just never know what kind of Fury will turn up.

Oh no! How will we the unwashed masses know what point you are trying to make without your boldface to guide us through?

Whyte is very difficult to outbox early, he slows down by the mid-rounds due to poor stamina, but I would not be surprised at all if he upset Fury. He has the skills and power to easily take this fight. Boxing fans are just being boxing fans, always putting guys on pedestals.

I do think it's a fight that Fury needs to take seriously. You can't so Whyte poses no danger whatsoever, he's scored some huge knockouts including some against durable opponents. He's big and he's got above-average boxing ability when compared to the rest of the pack at HW. If Fury doesn't train hard or takes him too lightly it's not inconceivable that he could lose, though of course Fury would rightly be a big favourite.
