    I don't think Fury will win, but some of the criticisms of him are a bit ignorant.

    He got decked by Steve Cunningham mostly because he was clowning around and Cunningham caught him square on. He stopped clowning after that and actually his performance later in that fight was pretty impressive and showed what a big heavyweight can do to a smaller man. Cunningham is a fast, athletic, skillful fighter and Fury bullied and manhandled him, then stopped him.

    Nobody ever talks about the finish, they only talk about him getting decked. That fight was actually one-sided from round 3 onwards.

    I don't think Fury will clown around against Klitschko. If he does, he will deserve to get KO'd. But I think he has alot more respect for Klitschko than he had for Cunningham (he was also trying to win fans in the U.S. that night).

    So he uppercut himself in the face? Okay the video is really funny but what exactly is the point you're making by that? That he's skillless and uncoordinated or something? Because for a heavyweight he really isn't. And the fact that Klitschko did the same thing just proves that it means nothing. It was funny, nothing more.

    If Fury loses (which does seem likely to me) it will be because his opponent is really good, he is fighting in Germany where the crowd and judges are on Klitschko's side, and because Klitschko just has so much more experience than Fury.


    It won't be because he's a skillless fraud.

    In the past, Fury's only form of defense has been that he's so tall that his head is up in the clouds and out of range of most punches. Given that he was always fighting shorter guys he could simply step back a little and be safe. Wlad does however have the height, reach and speed to consistently land on Fury and flatten him in the process.

    Im supporting tyson. We know hes a moron but hes selling this fight simple as that and love him or hate him as most do hes getting people talking about him so hes not as daft as most think
    Cant see anything bar a klit stoppage but if tyson is fearless he has a small chance

    He's probably not a moron. He's behaved far better than Haye and Chisora did, he's shown respect to Klistchko and the hosts. Shook the man's hand, wished him good luck. His boasting and clowning in previous months I've always thought was tongue-in-cheek.
    None of that silly cr*p we saw from both Haye and Chisora.
    Fury seems like a decent enough bloke. Unfortunately he's never likely to be given a fair shake by the media, but I guess he doesn't give a f--k anyway.
