He’s chatting poop again he knows he’ll get nowhere near that. That’s why I said if he stops messing about, he’s got a history of doing that sort of stuff.

Lets be honest the fight, if it happens, is unlikely to be a thriller. Don't get wrong I will watch it but they are both tactical fighters. Give Tyson his due he banged Whyte out but apart from that he hasn't shown any real power. He struggled to finish Wilder off in the second fight when a fan on full blast would have knocked Wilder over.
Both good fighters but it's unlikely to be exciting.

Whyte
Whyte was damaged goods after AJ and povetkin beat him up and knocked him out. I always fancied him against Wilder and personally think he beat him easily in the first fight.

I am with you on that.
Which is another disadvantage for Fury. He normally likes to gain an edge over his opponent psychologically. He won’t get that with Usyk.
Haney vs Kombosos rematch scheduled for the 16th of October. On one hand I'm surprised George took the rematch. Haney had him outclassed from the first bell until the last. Then again, it's a guaranteed payday and a guaranteed shot at becoming undisputed at 135lbs

I don't think Fury needs advantage it's got strong chin and I don't think Usyk got better punch than Wilder.

Golovkin vs Canelo 3 in September but I think Golovkin it's to old now.
Usyk doesn’t need a punch he can outbox you and the reason Fury beat Wilder is because all he has is a punch.
Not really looking forward to this match up. As you say, GGG is now old. He should've won the first fight but as always Canelo's the money-man and got the nod. I actually haven't watched their 2nd fight other than when it first happened. It was close but if I remember correctly, Canelo did deserve the win.
Fury has a decent chin and great powers of recovery but the body is as vulnerable as any other.
I'd say he has an average chin. It's not a chin like David Tua but he clearly has some whiskers there but if you're getting dropped by a career cruiserweight then I don't think you can say you have a strong chin.
It's kind of why I want to see Wilder vs Joyce. I wonder if a Wilder straight right could put Joyce down.
Ok his chin is no better than AJs but that doesn’t matter if no one can stop him. Also I think people confuse being dropped with having a bad chin.

Well you right but I hope Golovkin will pull this off
