    Possibly a couple of fights to early I think but it would be funny to see Fury equal Haye's HW legacy within 18 fights and 23 years old.

    Povetkin has beaten way tougher competition.

    He has beaten three guys, in Wlads five best wins list.

    Fury fights against bum are nothing to compare to that.

    Also if Fury will challenge him Povetkin will take him out. He is different class than current Fury

    Fury is too big for Povetkin. Not to mention Fury has underrated power and hand speed. plus he has a good chin while Povetkin doesn't seem to have a good chin judging of the 5th/6th round of the Chagaev fight.

    I think Fury would stop him.

    That's a pretty interesting point, but obviously Byrd was way past his best, Chagaev had probably slipped a bit since fighting Wlad and Chambers isn't one of Wlad's 5 best wins. I expect he's top 10 though

    Povektin has some good wins nevertheless. I'd pick Povetkin to beat Fury up at this point. Fury didn't convince me that much with the Chisora fight and the robbery against McDermott is still pretty fresh in my mind

    That was a few fight ago - judging of the Chisora fight Fury has gotten a lot better since then.

    I thought Fury looked good against Chisora where Fury was the underdog.

    It was a big improvement, that's true. It wasn't such a good performance when you account for all the hype he is getting though

    I get your point. But I think the big hype came after the Chisora win. If Chisora would of beaten Fury then I think Chisora would be hyped up right now

    I'm wondering if this Neven Pajkic character is a step up from Chisora? It's hard to tell really with the woeful state Chisora turned up in against Tyson, he claimed that was due to some type of injury, hernia perhaps. From what I can remember of Chisora before the Fury fight was that he was a poor mans Sam Peter, he was basically Danny Williams 2. Even if in better shape I expected fury to beat him easily on points. It's also possible that Firtha was a step up from Chisora, who's record isn't the best but has lost to decent opposition at least.

    Chisora fights again himself in the next week or so against the extreme steroid joke fighter Big Larry O and you would think if he has any type of potential at all he will put that clown down within 4 rounds.

    How do you know Big Larry is a steroid user?

    Well look at the ****. He is basically just a body builder that took up the sport in his 30's with no AM experience as a novelty act to make up the numbers on undercard fights.

    When you look at his first round destruction against his first opponent inside the top 500 you can see this chap is not a serious boxer.

    How about getting hurt against journeyman Firtha in his most recent fight then having his britfag ref stop the fight as soon as he landed 3 consecutive punches to ensure Fury didn't get ktfo?


    Neven Pajkic is feather fisted and after him getting hurt vs obese Chisora and needing his ref to ensure victory after gettin hurt by firtha i wouldn't be suprised to see them continue his matchmaking against feather fisted opponents, lord knows the british promoters are experienced enough with doing that.

    You clearly don't like Fury. Fury looked excellent in his fight Vs Firtha apart from one bad moment in round 5. And Fury was hitting Firtha with big punches throughout the fight so its not like the ref stopped it from the first decent punches Fury landed.
    And just because Chisora was heavy doesn't mean he has no power.
