Fury will go the same way as Price

Tyson Fury is much better than Price. Fury is totally superior to Wilder, who ran from Thompson. Let's see Fury Vs. Wilder if the Haye does not happen, or lets see Thompson Vs. Wilder next. I hope Vitali or Vlad fights Wilder ASAP, so they can knock the fraud out cold!!!!!!!

 

Farmboxer is right, look at Furys resume compared to Prices, and Fury is barely mid twenties, Price is 30, Fury floored him in the amateurs when he was a teen, has a much, MUCH better pro record

Price knocked out Audley Harrison in a round, big deal, but hey at least he still did it more impressively than Deontay "Windmill" Wilder

When the likes of Seth Mitchell and Wilder are your hopes, you really can't start making it a national issue, rather than a simple lack of depth in the heavyweight division in general issue

 

Yes us Brits can overhype boxers a bit but we do come up with a few good international fighters now and again (don't understand why Lennox Lewis & Ricky Hatton weren't mentioned in the first post). Some countries overhype Boxers who don't win on an international level in the same way some overhype wars (Vietnam, Iraq) :smooch - it's all part of the game.

 

Brits have terrible chins for the most part.

 

first time Fury faces someone with decent skills and a punch, he will be exposed, on the plus side, he is only 24, so a loss or two won't mean his career is over, he'll still have years to improve

 

So where was Lennox Lewis born? how many years of his life did spend in the UK & Canada? Does Lennox consider himself British?

In the end Hatton wasn't good enough to beat the top two elite boxers in the world within his weight class, you must be dam good if you see that as a failure - what have you achieved in boxing?

I do tend agree with you about Fury though. Fury is a character, people either want him to see him knock people out or get knocked out. You can be the best boxer in the world but if you aint got character you aint putting bums on seats (in front of PPV & Boxing rings) - look at Andre Ward. The hype is part of the game, stop whinning about it otherwise people will think you are British or something.

 

Fury's already fought credible opponents. He's beat Derek Chisora - who beat Helenius but was robbed and challenged Vitali - Kevin Johnson - a former challenger to Vitali - and Steve Cunningham - a former IBF Cruiserweight Champion who beat Adamek but was robbed.

So far he's displayed a weak defense and weak chin but he's, so far, managed to overcome those weaknesses to win and advance his carrer. He's still not a proven world level fighter but he is proven on the international scene.

 

:huh

 

Im going to go out on a limb here and say you don't know **** about boxing.

 

All Brits fail apart from the ones that dont.

Great thread.

 

Fury will go further than Price. One thing Fury has in abundance over Price, and that is confidence.

 

You've never seen a tyson fury fight, and yet feel qualified to pass judgement on how well he will do...
