Hughie Fury v Dillian Whyte for the British Title!!!

[Silkeyjoe]

There's no excuse for dodging this fight other than Peter Fury doesn't fancy it. You can't keep waffling on about being swerved when you publicly turn down title fights like this let alone "world" ones.

100%

I personally think its too soon for Hughie. He needs to develop more power. I think Dillian Whyte is actually very good. If he was American hed be no. 2 to Wilder.

Furys are pretty smart. They arent going to take any risks unless its a big payday. Tyson didnt take any chances until he signed for big money v Haye and then Klitschko. Hughie will likely be the same.

Since this isnt happening it looks like itll be Whyte v the White Rhino. Havent seen much of Allen but wasnt impressed with what I have seen.

Allen can be a bit lazy but is tough as they come. Sparred everyone, Fury, Klitschkos, Joshua, Helenius never been hurt.

Reckons he gave Joshua a bit of a going over but was a few years ago.

Trying to share a facebook post by Dave Allen on sparring Joshua using the embed feature from facebook. Not sure if any mod can make sense of it for me. The post is from 25th April this year if you want to see.

Yes that final link works and serves as cast iron proof that he gave Joshua a going over

That wasnt where he said that. Just thought others may find it interesting.

Especially his assesment of the various fighters hes sparred power. He reckons Tyson can generate more power than all of them and is the only fighter to have him hurt, to the body with a left hook.

Dillian Whyte would beat the snot out of Hughie next week next year or when ever,! Hughie will never
be World class don't kid yourself he is British level at best.
I think he is pretty poor to be honest they will have to match him carefully at British level, seen him fight
on a good few occasions and he has failed to impress me one bit, would I pay to see him fight NO.

Hes only british level but clearly beat Rudenko who should have got the decision over Brown? Then beat easily and won every round against Arias who went on to push and win rounds against Pulev? He also then easily won every round and made it look like a boring sparring match against the man who should have a win over Joshuas next opponent and Arreola!

All this while hes still only 21!?

Pull the other one

I only saw his most recent fight against Jason Gavern, and he looked like there's a lot of development to do before he should be going in for a British title. With the top end all more interested in aiming higher than British title level in the heavyweights, it could end up in some relatively inexperienced hands whoever does get to fight Dilian.

Why hasn't Whyte fought since his loss to AJ?

Shoulder surgery. Apparently bust it in the lead up to the fight.

The old Manny PAC excuse.

Bit different though. I mean "excuse" is a tad harsh. After all, he actually did have an operation. He didn't get cured by swimming in the holy sea or some other kind of bullshit.

I don't dispute that there was 'some sort of injury' either.

Dillian finds holding a conversation difficult enough. Let's also agree that staging a hospital scene is beyond him.
