    Fury might look slow and clumsy to the untrained eye, but he is surprisingly fast for a man of his size. In addition, Fury is younger, bigger and stronger than Wlad, and, unlike Waldo, can fight on the inside.

    Povetkin would simply have no answer to what Fury brings to the table. Fury would pizza-face Povetkin for 7-8 rounds and then KO him in a spectacular fashion.

    I think it's an interesting fight. Hard to call.

    It's an easy fight to call. The far more skilled Povetkin KO's him within 6.

    I see the Fury vs. Povetkin fight going similar to Fury vs. Chisora, except Fury would KO Povetkin because his chin isn't as good as dellboy's.

    Povetkin's chin is better at this point, seeing as Chisora's beard is visibly shopworn

    The Fury fans on here are delusional they think he has an Iron Chin and punching power when reality is he has neither :lol::rofl

    Eh?

    He DID put Hammer on his backside and dished out a one sided beatdown that made Hammer quit on his stool in the 8th. All without taking a meaningful shot in the fight.

    He busted Chisora's face up breaking his Orbital and making him quit on his stool in the 10th, without taking a meaningful shot in the fight.

    Fury is a quality fighter, make no mistake.

    Povetkin would put in a game effort but get systematically busted up trying to close the insane height and reach gap. I would imagine a late rounds corner stoppage.

    I'd give the slight edge to Fury. I rate Povetkin higher but Fury is all wrong for him. But no way Sasha gets stopped, this might look like Fury-Chisora I.

    Fury out boxes Povetkin worse than Tackam did before he got tired.

    Fury is better than Tackam in every way not to mention physically bigger with longer reach and an unstoppable gas tank and work rate.

    Povetkin's short inside hooks won't be effective and he's open to Fury inside work.

    Povetkin looking devastating against a flabby 5'11 Heavyweight Perez is entirely different to facing a switch hitting 6'9 giant with a 75% KO rate.


    Fury also has the kind of work rate advantages you'd expect from someone nearly 10 years Povetkin's Jnr.

    Fury specialises in beating 6'2 heavies! He Has pretty much perfected it now IMO.
