    God help the heavyweight division if steward thinks fury is the world’s leading heavyweight, fury is fun to watch but he would be massacred by the Klistscho’s, what about this Seth Mitchell i haven’t seen much he is supposed to be half decent

    I'm guessing Manny's tongue was firmly in his cheek.

    He is at best top 5.

    - Pulev, Boytsov, Price, Wach and Ustinov.

    Steward talking Fury up so if Wlad fights him people will see it as a good match up.

    Wlad would spark Fury in any round he wanted.

    i forgot about price, he looked good, i've only seen the Mcdermott fight so its hard to judge off a round or so but he is ten times better than fury

    Fury is under rated, and it will take rogan a special effort, the heavyweight division is that bad it;s a matter of opinion who is the number one contender.

    He is building up another straw house to be blown down by his Heavyweight champion fighter... Nothing more... It's a business, Manny Steward knows this better than anyone at this stage...

    Lets me honest, Fury is taller and his a bigger reach than Wlad

    it would be a boring UD12

    The only sparking that would happen would be the crack-pipes being lit by Fury's fans in the crowd
     
  11. I think Fury is good and better than Povetkin,Boytsov,Dimitrenko.
    He has a **** chin but I like the guy.
    He has confidence,decent power,height and reach. Bad jab but good left hook to the body.

    This quote should remind all the Klit fans who cum in their pants everytime Steward says Wlad is the greatest, hardest punching HW of all time.

    Manny Steward talks some absolute nonsense sometimes

    Fury is young as well. He is way underrated. The big man moves pretty fast and can throw some bombs. The only thing I don't like is sometimes he doesn't react well when he gets hit. Manny isn't full of bull when he ranks him that high, name 1 contender that would beat him? I think maybe Povetkin has a shot, but not Boytsov or Dimitrenko at this point. Price will fall soon as someone tests his chin. Price had issues with getting sparked in the amateurs.

    Shaky chin but good powers of recovery :good

    How many guys his size just hop up after getting flattened & fight back sucessfully?

    He's a funny guy & a fun fighter, he'll be in some entertaining fights in the future
