    For me when he beat Chisora in the rematch. I had totally dismissed him as a serious title challenger up to that point but the way he dominated a fit and motivated, peak, Chisora showed me he had improved a great deal since their first fight. I still didn't think he'd beat Wlad but I did think he'd give Wlad problems and out box him before Wlad's power saved him and turned the fight his way.

    Always been a big fan. Didn't expect him to beat Wlad, but I knew he'd toy with the likes of David Price who many on here favoured over him.

    Probably when he so easily beat Wlad. I expected him to give Wlad problems, but he completely shut him down.

    Pure genuine confidence against the reigning and undefeated in how many years? Made him look a fool pre fight, during the fight and after the fight. Wlad cheating antics got thrown out. Still lives rent free in the minds of these men. Fury is a king.

    Chisora II, but honestly it was Wlad press conferences that showed he was special. Totally screwed Wlad's head.

    When he started moving and boxing, instead of brawling, being fleshy and Hittable all the time. He needed to use his height and range and became almost unhittable. He's now progressed into a boxer puncher, because at the very top you need to keep your challengers more than honest.

    Weighing in at a colossal 2 or 3lb.

    When he told us he was, because every word that the now retired (or very soon to be) Fury says is 100% fact.

    I knew he was premature mate but I wasn't sure of his exact weight. I remember big John saying he fitted easily into the palm of his hand. And they (medical staff) didn't give him a great chance of survival.

    Talk about a tiny Acorn growing into a Mighty Oak tree is an understatement here mate. Fighters don't come any bigger. lol

    It has to be the Chisora rematch. Until then he seemed destined for domestic dust ups.

    But that rematch, he was incredible and looked a level above.
