[P to the J]

It’s a funny one, really, and part of why boxing’s so great. I’d expect Wilder to knock Dillian Whyte out late, but agree with Arum that Whyte-Fury will be a more even contest than anything between Fury-Wilder

Ppl will doubtless point to the 1st gig where he got put down twice, but for the rest of the match, there was a discernible gulf between Fury and Wilder.

If it actually goes ahead, this one won’t look anything like even that one

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.

I'm just a pleased whyte has a long overdue opportunity, no doubt fury is the favourite, whyte poses a genuine threat with his power, plus he also throws excellent body shots, if whyte can keep furys mauling down to a minimum, he has a shot, I will put a bet on whyte.

Fury is not a big puncher, neither a concussive puncher but granted if he lands and continues to land on an opponent just his sheer size and its nights out for any fighter but if AJ or even Whyte caught Wilder with the amount of shots Fury did that fight would have ended a long time ago. Wilder has been rocked by mediocre punchers. Anyway having said that Fury boxes WHYTE'S HEAD OFF

Incorrect. Fury is a bigger puncher than Whyte. Look at Chisora's face after 10 rounds of Fury just flicking a jab at him, f'd up. Much worse than he was in either Whyte fight after taking hundreds of. "power" shots from Whyte. Nash out

For the record...
ortiz failed a medical with high blood pressure. He was rabbit punched repeatedly..and he still got back up 3 times in their first fight.
Their second fight was a fix and it was obv ortiz, having missed out on the aj fight, was told to take a dive for money to make wilder look good.

Also, why are you forgetting that wilder was literally in spin city when molina, spiltzka, washington, ortiz etc put it on him and he was nearly knocked out by the great harold scorniers?

No where in my post did I say that Fury was a big puncher, what I meant by a bad man was he is a helluva boxer, but he has stopped 22, of his 32 opponent's.

[SplitSecond]

Wilder is useless unless he can plant a right hand from across the ring with his entire body into it. Utterly useless.

One thing is getting hurt, but if you're able to recover and knockout your opponent that counts in this sport and has to be taken into consideration.
Another thing is being knocked out of your sense's laying on the canvas for several minutes, and the audience wondering if your dead or alive.
When I said that Wilder had a better chin I didn't mean he had a granite chin I meant that even when he was hurt he was able to recover, and except for his fights against Fury win.
I did forget about Ortiz's incredible heart, and effort against Wilder in both fights, the difference between Ortiz, and Fury is that Fury recovered, and won but Ortiz didn't.
Thats the bottom line you can't change history with what could've happened, because it didn't happen so you have to go with the final outcome of the fights.
