    ^^ hmm maybe not shot, definitely overweight and lost his fire a bit though... a fight with a top prospect would be a good move for him as well to see how good he is.. there's no point just sticking around fighting sub standard competion and not training properly

    Neven Pajkic flattened Fury, so I think Chaggy KOs the big lug.

    Chaggy marked up Povetkin badly when they fought and he didn't have a mark on him.

    If he hadn't run out of gas at the end and been a little rusty, he would have taken Povetkin out.

    As it was, Povetkin looked like the loser.

    So I think Chaggy would handle Fury pretty easily.

    Young lion vs. older lion. Both need to win for the viability of their careers. Decent fight.

    Love to see this fight, works for both of them... maybe too much a risk for fury though

    Got a feeling it'll be Tye Fields... Monte Barrett wouldn't be a bad shot.. is he retired though?

    According to Hennesy's Twitter they are announcing Fury and Eubank Jr's opponents tomorrow morning. Can't wait. I hope it's Chagaev but I think it will be someone like Olubamiwo.

    will brutally ko this ****ing ****** moron bum.


    Brit will destroy this ****.

    Tyson Fury has progressed from

    the fat lad that upper cuts himself

    into a semi refined warrior Dog Gorilla that will bash this ****ing overrated Russian Food Piece into 15 different slices

    Chagaev may have totally lost his fitness and shape, but the timing on his punches is still pretty good. He is just too skilled for Fury, I imagine he will end up getting him with one of those loopy left hooks at some point. Can't see Fury winning this one, just not enough class.
