    Its not a step up for Fury. I say Chisora would beat Pulev. I would even give Johnson a good chance to beat Pulev.

    I think what you also need to consider, is that when Pulev was falling short as an amateur he was actually much older than Fury is even now.

    You guys do all realise Fury is 8 years younger than Pulev, right?

    :huh i said that Suarland would like to have the fight elsewhere because it would give Pulev a better chance, but will have to fight in the UK because Fury will win purse bids.

    what part of that didn't you understand exactly? by the looks of it, all of it. :-(

    if he could choose, Saurland would almost definitely have it elsewhere. all promoters would love to have home advantage.

    Fury is going to dominate and possibly stop Pulev late. i could easily see Pulev being pulled out of there after taking too much punishment. but if not by stoppage, Fury will win by a wide decision.

    Adamek's duck was so blatant, he should never have fans again.

    Fury better be fighting Haye next otherwise this is going to look shocking for the fella. With this and the Price duck it doesn't look to clever for the man "who will fight anybody, anywhere".

    Paraphrasing Kalle Sauerland: if Fury pulls out of the Pulev fight then Pulev becomes mandatory to Wlad. Nice.

    As far we kow HAye still fights Charr. Or can Haye pull out and fight Fury instead? But would ve stuipid by Fury! If he is so confident to beat Pulev why not fight Pulev and after that Wladimir?
    Duck, Duck, Duck. If this fight wont happen there will be alot of excuses coming from Fury.

    Assuming this is correct, probably a smart move from the Fury team. Tyson himself might think he can win, but IMO he ain't ready, and probably never will be. If they wanna make money with Tyson, they need to keep the suspense going as long as possible, then just hope for a decent payday at the end of it. Ol' Nice'n'furry hasn't got what it takes- and his team knows that better than anyone.


    Ducking? I don't know if avoiding a fight you know your fighter can't win qualifies...
