    As of now he is along way from World level.

    If he improves you never know but for me far too early to tell, although he does look in better shape than he has in the past.

    Will be an interesting one to follow.

    None of us have a clue how the division will shape up once the Klitsckos have gone, if in 6 years time the division is still in the same state as it is in now minus the Klits than Fury can easily pick up an alphabet strap.

    Theres definite potential to improve for Fury, but my prediction is for Fury to become a nearly man. He'll get a couple of shots at a title IMO and just come up short. Maybe a Danny Williams type career.

    He'll be remembered as a domestic legend, who wasn't quite good enough for World Glory.

    I honestly think he has a great chance of doing it.

    22 years old. British Champ and unbeaten in his first 15 fights. If he goes with Steward as a trainer, who know's where he'll be in 2-3 years time. There's a good chance we'll see some average Heavyweight world champions when Wladimir and Vitali retire.

    He's only 22 and by the time he reaches his prime both Klits will have gone and the division will be open. SNV got by on size alone and Fury is lil smaller but more skilled so I say he can for sure

    :good I am sure Fury will sell a few tickets, and might be involved in a few more fun fights, but only to a certain level that is probably a fair way short of world class.
