    Yeah, Fury publicly stated he'd fight Olubamiwo, who then said in return he didn't want to fight Fury yet.

    Fury would destroy him. Would be a good test for Fury though, similar to the prospect clash between Sexton and Chisora last year, which was super exciting and a good learning experience for both men. Larry would have his moments I think, but would get worn down by Fury's fast constant punching, and although Fury doesn't have one-punch K.O power (yet???) I think he would wear the overtly muscled Larry down and stop him.

    I wouldn't be so sure.

    Fury hasn't even been punched properly yet. He could be in for quite a shock when this 260lb beast punches back rather than your typical can that turns up ready to lose.

    You could say the same for Larry.

    Honestly, this is a good fight for both guys.

    Exactly.

    There is no clear favourite in a fight between the two. Fury is technically a little better, but quite frankly I would like to see if he can take those punches. We already know Fury is not a big puncher, whereas this guy seems to be. Fury could box his head off, but I'm not convinced we've seen complete discipline from Fury to suggest he wouldn't be caught and tested. His defence has looked a bit of a joke and people aren't even punching him.

    ok i dont know why u guys rate him so much - to be fair i havent seen his latest fight but iv just watched his 2nd and 3rd on youtube. unless hes improved alot in the last month he is a bit of a joke. yes he appears to have power but his tecnique and defence isnt weak - it doesnt exist. anyone with ANY boxing ability should be able to outbox this guy - altho i will grant u he will always have a punchers chance if he leaps in there and attacks. his second fight in particular is laughable - sometimes the other guy had moved out the way before Olu had even finished his backswing! i think fury would terrorise Olu with boxing ability, altho i couldnt comment on him knocking him out as both their chins are untested.

    Just watched all 4 of his fights on youtube and agree with what you say, he is very raw. But **** me he's powerfull:nut Love his interview after his 3rd fight, he's spot on and so honest. 'It was scrapy' My chin was up in the air' 'I got carried away and need to settle down'He has 100% faith in his trainer, James Cook.And i reckon he's got a good future and hope he does well. The British heavyweight scene could be gettin interestin again.;)

    :yep

    The scary thing is that he doesn't seem to load up on any of his shots, if he did he would take someones head clean off... the man is a beast.

    He has zero fundamentals. Fury would completely outbox him. Like him though.
