From a non boxing expert, are there any actual weaknesses in Fury’s locker, he seems to have it all, he outboxes his opponents, has a ridiculous chin, can go the length and can produce shots like that.

AJ won’t beat Usyk so won’t get the chance 

People would pay to see Fury v Joshua, there's always a chance.

People use to say he couldn’t punch, but he has clearly added that knockout power to his locker.

Absolutely battered him, fair play to white for trying to get up from that. Was saying to my dad when fury was leaning on him if that was one of us it'd break our ribs and clavicles the blokes so big. Fight didn't live up to the hype but they rarely do we were spoilt with the fury v wilder trilogy. I reckon fury comes out of retirement (whenever he does retire be it now or in 2 years) in his forties and does a foreman and batters whoever the new heavy weight champ is in 6-7 years.

I can't see him resisting about £40million either

 

I'll be honest, I kinda believed him when I saw the last interview he did about retiring. I do believe it when he says he has more money than he'll ever need and he's ready to stop for the good of his health. 

 

But I just can't imagine someone with the winning instincts of an elite sportsman throwing away the chance to unify the division, especially against a converted cruiserweight who he'll be the favourite to stop. 

 

I think Usyk is phenomenal, one of the few people that could outbox Fury at heavyweight, but Tyson would still be expected to win it and unless the pressure of that fact gets to him I don't see how he can resist. Especially given its not likely to be a fight that would give him much risk of long term brain damage compared to doing a fvcking trilogy against one of the hardest hitters of all time. 

[foxfanazer]

If that is the last we see of him, its been a joy watching his career develop. Loads of ups and downs but what a talent and entertainer!

Not convinced that's enough incentive for Fury to be honest. He'd need to be baited into feeling he had something to prove and honestly I think he's got such self confidence he'll just simply know he could do AJ. 

 

Before Ruiz, I used to think AJ would surprise a lot of people against Fury, I thought he wasn't really being given his dues. But the post-Ruiz AJ looks scared of getting hurt and still hasn't rediscovered any trust in his chin. Unless he demonstrates in the Usyk rematch that he's got the confidence to go on the front foot, get aggressive and use his power then quite frankly it's pointless him fighting Tyson anyway and Tyson knows it. 

 

AJ would need to combine his physical punching power with the best of his technical boxing ability and have one hell of a good day to knock Fury out and I can't see him ever doing it on points.

Yeah he used to have pillow fists but Sugarhill got him throwing some absolute bombs.

From a boxing expert like myself , no weakness at all other than maybe a slight switchhing off mentally he can display when cruising through a fight like whay happened in the first Wilder fight. 

 

He's the best, by a long way and has been for years.

 

I don't think White ever thought he had a chance of winning that hence how calm and chilled he was in the build up, can't blame him for taking the pay day though.

Nasty fight , not a great advert 

 

But the pugilist battered White 

 

that finishing shot we are ring side and could hear it land BOOOOOM

 

he is different level to everyone else right now 

 

USYK: he smashes him to to pieces .. I don’t want to see that fight it would be not be nice to watch 

 

AJ: I want to see this, I will say AJ will at least give him a bout, Tyson will beat AJ obviously but it will be a bout for sure ! 
 

simply the Best 

 

The Best British Born for sure 

 

and now his name will be mentioned with the greats 

 

last word … watch out on Twitter and Instagrammy there was some naughty Stuff in the crowd

Shows how good Pianeta is

[MPH]

He won’t be able to resist a reunification. But if he wins that, he’ll certainly call time. For at least a year.

All that drama over Whyte only getting 20% (6 mill£)! I like him but the no shows and refusal to take part in all the build up didn't look good on Whyte

He was clearly just there for the pay day

Fraud tbh

Since he’s been with the new trainer. He’s made all the difference to his punch power

Don't think that's at all fair he was swinging like a mad man from the off trying to knock him out and would have been easy to stay down after getting totally sparked but did everything he did to get up, would have carried on if the ref didn't stop it.

Fraud is harsh.

 

He’s obviously not on Fury’s level, but he’s well worthy of his opportunity. He’s been mandatory for over four years.

 

I think he got his gameplan wrong and in hindsight should’ve thrown more, earlier.

Didn’t let his hands enough for me, he’s always had a problem with gassing towards end of fights so maybe he was hoping to weather the storm early and come on strong later. 
 

That uppercut had other ideas though.

For a heavyweight I can't believe how well disguised that uppercut was. I barely caught it in real time

Yeah the speed on it was unreal for a man of that size. If it hit Whyte anywhere else he would have been fine but right on the jaw must have felt like being hit by lightning. 

[don_danbury]

what a let down.

Nah I think fraud about cuts it

Whytes demeanour both pre fight and definitely during it as been that of a fighter going through the motions. There’s been no bite, no niggle… nothing really. I think it’s clear that Whyte just came for the pay cheque and knew he didn’t have a cat in Hell’s chance of pulling off an upset. 
He conned quite a few pundits too tbf, in terms of them giving him half a chance of doing something 

It was just a mismatch unfortunately 

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

It was a mismatch I totally agree but disagree he just showed up and went through the motions, he wouldn't have been stumbling around trying to beat the count if he was just there for the money. That was professional pride. He had a good go he was just totally outclassed.
