Comments Thread For: Arum: Whyte is Big Puncher, Poses Bigger Danger To Fury Than Even Wilder

[Boricua181]

Have you seen the other two times fury was knocked down prior to wilder?

Hardly steller punchers


Wilder lacks any educated aggression to finish fury the times he had them hurt ,whyte has about 10 times more boxing iq in his pea head than wilder has in his

Fury's been knocked down, and he's gotten up, Whyte hasn't he went down and stayed down.
I'd bet Wilder would knockout Whyte as well, even though I don't think that fight will ever be made.

The video tapes are out there, I don't really think I need to explain much. Tyson Fury at 254 pounds, was found in every single round by Ottin Wallin. Long gone were the days of when Tyson Fury, while training under Peter Fury 'Stylistically would not of been tracked down and found in this kind of fight'.

Wallin is a pretty much a plain simple fighter, nothing about his abilities jumps out at you. But he was still able to inflict serious damage, on Tyson Fury. And this was a 254 pound Tyson Fury 'Fury trained with the intent of bringing back his old Riddler style'.

Fury's jab is good, but I would not use words like monumental to describe it. Whenever Tyson Fury has faced another fighter, who can also jab 'Those fighters can compete with him in a jabbing contest'. Fury's jab has only appeared dominant against fighters who are not renowned for having strong jabs.

So Fury took apart Derek Chisora with his jab, that is great. Stylistically that is what he was supposed to do 'Lewis & Kiltschko would of done the same'.

Lennox Lewis & Wladimir Kiltschko made fighters with good jabs, stop using their jabs. I have not seen Tyson Fury induce this kind of behavior in his opponents who have good jabs.

Steve USS Cunningham at 6"3 was able to compete, Deontay Wilder in two of the 3 fights was able to compete, and so was Wladimir Kiltschko.

Dillian Whyte for me has the 3rd best Jab in the heavyweight division, behind both Fury & Wilder. I am not saying the jab is going to win him the fight, but? It will be evident in the fight.

Tyson Fury will win this fight, but people after this fight will realize 'That Kronk Fury is not peak Fury, and he is not miles better than these other heavyweights anymore'.

That is all I am saying. The Heavyweight division is very competitive, I don't think there is a big distance between fighters abilities.

An explanation would be nice... Of course he fought Wallin differently because of the injury. But Wallin was not able to exploit the cut and get the fight stopped. I didn't see Wallin finding Fury regularly. I did see Fury fighting aggressively so that if the fight was stopped he would be the one winning rounds.

I mean Wallin cut Fury... I don't see that as being remarkable. It happens all the time. How do you consider that serious damage?

Fury's jab is what it is. His reach adds another dimension to it.

What?! Fury stopped Wlad in his tracks. He literally had Wlad unable to set and throw a decent shot for most of the fight. Some of that was due to his jab... Perhaps quite a bit.

Cunningham is a mensch. The guy can fight... I mean people used Cunningham to claim Fury had no chin until he got up against Wilder. But some of us always had a healthy respect for Cunningham. But Wlad?! Wlad was not competative in his fight with Fury. We will have to agree to disagree about Wallin and Vlad. I honestly feel like we were on different time lines and watched different fights lol.

Whyte seems to be all things to all people: To some he is the best left hooker since Morrison, and now? his jab is great? Ok. For a while Whyte was the antichrist here lol!

I don't know how Fury is progressing... He seems to want to settle down on his punches, he has been able to do it. Thats all I know. Maybe Whyte will expose a ***** in the armour... I always have been complimentary regarding Whyte, he has skills, but will be come in heavy? Will he come in determined to catch Fury in a manner where its plausible to do so?

[SN!PER]

Fury had one of Chisora's eyes swollen shut from the accuracy of his jab.

He comfortably out-boxed Klitschko in his own backyard in Germany.

And he won about 25 out of 30 rounds against Deontay Wilder in their three fights.

What's Whyte gonna do against this giant with an 8-inch reach advantage? Land a Hail Mary left hook to Fury's liver? How many punches is he gonna eat while trying to land a miracle punch, and how many rounds of punishment can he absorb before his stamina fails him? This fight is an absolute nightmare for Dillian and he's going down like a sack of potatoes.

Yer ass ain't wrong mother ****er

Just missed the old foils is all. I don't use son of a ***** doe, ya uncouth ****

Sorry, didn't mean to offend your delicate southern sensibilities. Rough and ready up north, we are.

[kafkod]

Yeah, he got up quick but my point is Whyte's not much better or different from Chisora.

Whyte has a better jab than Chisora and he goes to the body a lot more than Del Boy. I don't expect either his jab or body work to bother Fury, but his left hook has more power than anything in Chisora's arsenal. Fury needs to beware of that left hook

Yeah, no one's a carbon copy. Tua isn't exactly Tyson. Del and Dil have differences, I acknowledged Whyte's a bit better, like how you acknowledged it won't affect Fury.

Just Fury-Chisora III

Tyson Fury is one bad man, to get up 4 times from Wilder knockdowns is an incredible feat, and despite that Fury was able to do it.
Remember that Wilder is known knocking fighters down, and out was or is still the most fearsome puncher in the heavyweight division.
One can arguably say that Fury didn't only beat Deontay 2 times, but all of the 3 times in which they faced off in the ring.
Those fights were all entertaining to watch to tall, powerful, and determined fighters to go at it without holding anything back.
How Arum can make the statement Whyte poses a greater threat to Fury than even Wilder did is beyond the scope of my reasoning.
Unless taking Arum is taking into consideration that Whyte throws his punches from different angles, or throws different combination's.
The only liability Fury might have is that he'll have to lean down a bit more to land against Whyte, causing him to expose his chin more,
and therefore meet punches head on, (producing double the impact).
That said I still believe that Fury will win this encounter, he's always found a way to overcome the adversities he's faced in the ring.
One last point Whyte doesn't take it on the chin as well as Wilder does, and I've seen him get shaken up in several of his fights that spells
trouble for whyte when coming up against Fury.

Uncle Bob Arum, the most dishonest man in professional sports since 1962.

Din King was way more dishonest, and a 2 time murderer to boot.
All of the lawsuits filed against King by his fighters are proof of the former.
Thats a great choice of boxers to have as a profile picture/avatar, Willie Pep was
one of the greatest fighters in the history of the sport.

Fury has always looked his best in his biggest fights he gets motivated for, wlad, wilder.


I do agree that there is some risk with Whyte, he is basically in the 2nd tier of boxers right behind the top 4 or so. He is a real threat and if Fury overlooks him a bit because this was not really the fight he wanted, prefering Usyk or AJ and being forced to take this defense then he could legit get upset.

[davef]

Pfft no way I expect Fury to absolutely batter him after the midway point. Whyte will hang in there be competitive for 5 rounds but he tires easily and Fury has a great tank and gets better as the fight goes on

Expect Whyte to look like hes fighting drunk from around round 6 and Fury to be teeing off on his peanut head
