    I was on about Adamek, Fat Dan has him as his no.2 heavyweight behind Wlad and lots of ranking have him very high and Cunningham got robbed against him. Read more carefully next time:think

    I'm amazed this has got to three pages. Froch all day long with honourable mention for Burns.

    I really like Tyson Fury, but I think he's setting me up for disappointment. It's just annoying to see someone you want to do well doing all the wrong things. He looked out of shape and clumsy against Abell - a better fighter would have flattened him.

    He needs to be kept in the gym, fighting regularly and fighting opponents good enough to make him box properly. I'm hoping he'll be like Reading Football Club this season - **** against the likes of Sheffield Wednesday (Joey Abell), but pulls it off against better opposition (QPR on Sunday).

    Froch is a human terminator, no-one else comes remotely close.
    Fury is tough though.

    At this time Tyson Fury is UK's best heavyweight by far, and he is tough. He has a good chance to become a world champion after Vlad retires. Hughie has lots of potential as well, but not as far along as Tyson..........I am getting more and more impressed with Tyson.............

    this is unreal, not simply for the Fury support... BUT that sport fans can actually believe that this is top level boxing... WOW then what a poor representation boxers are of the human fighting machine.

    and if Fury is comfortably top, then Past Greats weren't much better if at all, eh?

    WOW, just Wow, that sport fans can be so stuck in their own egotistic times that they just refuse to except boxing was FAR, FAR better and superior and the Fury's of the sport is what actually shames the Greats of it!!! :bart

    Froch, Burns def above him. Prob Chisora too. Cunningham and Pajik aren't dropping Del Boy.

    Fury will knock Chisora out if they do fight, but it so appears that Chisora will fight Povetkin in Moscow, so................

    Chisora may think its too risky losing to Fury twice and will pretty much be game over for him if he does.

    If this is the case then Fury should take the Adamek fight
