    He better be, otherwise it's going to be a very onesided affair September 28.

    Probably more likely that he's a lot better than some people think, and nowhere near as good as some other people think, he seems to elicit marmite responses

    If this is true,they're matching Fury in size,but nowhere near his ability or nastiness.On the other hand,if Fury is sparring Cunningham,IMO its great sparring for Fury.Probably the nearest they could get to Haye.I actually think Cunningham would have been a fairly hard fight for David.One up for the Fury camp,I think.

    Fury has a good chance of knocking Haye out, if he can land just one good punch. Haye was knocked out by a cruiserweight. Haye was stopped by Solis in the amateurs as well.

    Yes, but it's also clear when you watch him he demonstrates the second groups response. and I like marmite.
     
  10. He's not as bad as some make out, but Haye is all wrong for him style wise. If he beats Haye ( which I don't think he will ). But let's say he pulls the upset, I think a lot of people will take him a lot more serious.

    He's better than David Price let's put it that way.

    From what I've seen of him...NO! But he has a chance to prove me wrong with the Haye fight.

    Fury looked better against Chisora than Vitali did, or Haye. It's interesting. Did Derek improve so dramatically between the Fury and Vitali fights??

    I feel that Tyson Fury is better than most think. He will be in his best shape when he fights Haye. It was Tyson's idea to fight Haye, so he knows something. I can't wait to see this fight...............He last fight was the perfect rehearsal for Haye.................

    Haye won every round, smashed him apart and was never in trouble, how did Fury look better?
