It’s shocking really. Taylor has all 4 world titles at 140 lbs and the man on the street wouldn’t know him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a real shame because he may be the most talented boxer to come from these shores in a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure channel 5 counts as exposure, does anyone ever take any notice of what’s on channel 5? Anyway, apparently Whyte and Fury is on for April, can’t see Whyte getting near Fury but you never know I guess and at that weight, all it takes is one good / lucky punch potentially.

Just read that tonight. Whyte signed at the 11th hour. April 23rd at Wembley is the talk. Ya know what it’s not a bad fight at all. Fury should be too good for him but he’s been put over plenty in his career and Whyte can bang. Can just see Dillan getting peppered with jab and straight lefts all night.

Genie Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 That fight (Fury / Whyte) does appear like a Premier League versus Championship cup game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viewing figures are higher generally than those for fights on Sky (not including those that watch in pubs) usually about twice this of a decent fight on Sky - even though, let's face, it the fights are generally nowhere near the same level. I think we still underestimate the numbers of people who watch stuff on terrestrial TV versus other platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Fury beats whyte, uysk beats aj again. Setting up fury vs uysk which fury wins as he is too big for uysk. Then fury retires undefeated. After that the heavyweight division goes to shit as the rest are average heavyweight boxers. I would expect wilder and usyk to dominate and aj to retire after he loses rematch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That old cliche of just a "one punch " . I just can't see that happening with this fight. I really think Whyte could be in for a severe lesson from Fury, who, after all the bravado talk from Whyte, will have no problem getting mentally prepared for this one.

Johnnyp Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Remarkable stat. Josh Taylor’s last six opponents have a combined record of 150-0. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah as I say, can’t see Whyte getting near him but you just never know. Much like when Otto Wallin opened up his face and let’s be honest, had that fight been in the UK for example, it probably would have been stopped and Fury would have a defeat on his record.

If he had intervened in the 5th I don't think there would have been too many complaints . Those extra pounds seemingly helped Brook more than they did Khan. The last time I seen legs that weak was when Hagler dismantled Hearns. I had £20 each on Brook for stoppage rounds 5,6 & 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He underestimated Wallin, big time, mainly because he was looking ahead to Wilder. I can't see him doing the same with whyte. It's Fury's first fight back home in a long time, so he'll definitely want to put on a show for the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ is probably the biggest cash cow for the promoters and boxing. If he loses it'll be the end of AJ, an he won't get the fight with Fury. Boxing and Hearn will lose out big time, I just can't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
