You guys realize Tyson Fury basically has no actual skills, right?

    Firtha, Pajkic, Chisora all hurt him and none a big punchers. Fury's chin is average and any HW with decent power could potentially hurt him imo. As for his power i never said he was feather fisted, i said his chin and power aren't going to improve any significant amount like Haggis was claiming.

    Fury can get in a little better shape and continue improving his boxing skills, which he has been doing, but physically he's completely mature and his chin and power are what they are. His power is okay but he'll never have genuine one punch KO power like Volodymyr or Price for example. He'll always be best as an accumulation puncher and should rely on his combination punching and activity.

    Disagree, Fury is a lot more skilled than Price , that guy is as stiff as a piece of wood. Fury is very fluid for his size and mixes it up well

    Those of you thinking Boytsov has a great KO punch have seen that his career has been manufactured? Just look at the records of his last 2 opponents.

    An 80% KO record is to be treated with respect, but let's look at who he has fought.

    Also Fury has fought fighters a lot more talented than Boytsov has and beaten them all well. His last 3 fights particularly have been very good.

    Fury wins the fight in the later rounds IMO.

    My thoughts are here...

    Man I agree most what you said.

    He is young ******* and might get only better. He has plenty of time to polish his skills, time will tell. I am not sure about his chin, he has been down but gets easily up so that is good sign..

    And his **** talking is genuinely entertainign at times and now he start to walk the walk also :deal:

    He's great at uppercutting himself in the face. The best in the game in that department.

    Fury throws some nice combinations, has good variety & is an underrated bodypuncher. For a tall guy he can fight quite well on the inside, can counter punch quite successfully & his footwork is improving.

    Fury's skillset is actually quite solid & seems to be underappreciated on ESB, the Boystov fight will give him the opportunity to shine.

    Pajkic's a nothing fighter.

    Firtha's a solid journeyman.

    And Chisora was a lazy fat pile of blubber with zero stamina when he fought Fury. Which on top of his lack of defence, plodding style, being feather fisted really didn't make him much of an opponent. The version of Rogan Fury fought was probably a tougher match up. The current version of Fury would have mauled that Chisora and stopped him within 8 rounds easily.

    The only thing elite about Tyson Fury is his first name.
