    its been a pretty busy 24 hours in the world of boxing and i have made a few observations from all the action... please feel free to add any observations you have made.

    1 eubank jnr has a bright future , he looked to be taking the pro game seriously and could provide us with some great nights in the future.

    2 eubank jnr has nostrils bigger than fearne cotton

    3.tyson fury is domestic/european level at best

    4. tyson furys fans fully filled the stero type of travller(dont like the word pikey) behaviour with there disgracful attitude during the smokin joe silence and then further tarnished their already damaged reputation by behaving like a bunch of twats when fury got knocked over and then after the fight. if you were a venue owner would yu really wanna host a fury bout?

    5. pacman has been to the well one to many times and its starting to show..

    6.pacamn v maywaether is an almost certainty as mayweather is as shrewd as they come and any doubts he had about fightin pacman would have been put to rest.this is a win win for both sides tons of money for both fighters who are at the end of there careers.

    7. from jimjom ... hennesey needs to get fury a conditoing coach asap

    8 .from sports leader
    Breidis Prescott deserves respect for his performancs and improvements as a fighter over the last year or so.

    pretty much agree with all of it, i wouldnt write fury off just yet though. and i agree with pac having been in too many wars and now the chance mayweathers been waiting for is here, we'll see the fight. i think pac seems to have lost his ability to finish over the last few fights, and getting outboxed like last night might just seem floyd does it, ive always thought manny would be too much for floyd, now im not so sure :-(

    I think the issue with the Fury fans is being exaggerated somewhat.

    It looked bad on tv yeah, but we could only see his family ringside who were obviously emotional.

    Those who were there, Wallet and Slap, knew of no issues at all so maybe we leave this one there.

    if he is suffering from depression as has been stated, and somebody put on another thread that they'd heard that he's apparently falling out of lvoe with boxing, he needs to take some time off, fat mick needs to get him a proper conditioning coach when he's ready, and he needs to tighten up his defence, and work on his punching form and footwork, then he can come back and blast out pajkic in a round and move on from there, because he looked like he could get him out of there whenever but just didnt seem focussed on the job at hand

    fury is a work in progress in one of the shittest divisions. Came in at higher weight, talking about depression. Hes had 5 fights in the last 12 months which aint too shabby in these times.

    Although he went down he didnt look particularly hurt by that shot and he was off balance.

    :deal good shout, am i going to be laughed at to say i still would like khan to get back in the ring with him? i think prescott could afford to move up to welter as well, might help with his dreadful fading

    If Fury is to be serious at heavyweight he needs conditioned.

    I cannot understand how a heavyweight in his position, at his his age, training hard, can be in his shape.

    Ultimately, I don't think he's good enough, but unless he's in shape he'll never maximise his advantages. A guy at 6'9'' tall, quite awkward with ok power and showing up in shape, has a chance against anyone!

    Did anyone honestly think Fury was ever going to be higher than domestic/euro level?
