    I always thought that a prerequsite of being a boxer was the ability to throw a punch correctly. :lol::bbb

    His name's almost a brand name though, third person's almost forgiveable.

    I agree. He doesn't look co-ordinated but no one at his size does. He makes up for his flaws with size, just like Wlad, Vitali and many others do. He's got height, reach, speed, power and so far his chin and stamina look okay but we'll find out more on that.

    Him and Price could be something.

    Murray needs to grow a beard again. He looks like a weirdo without it.

    They say Murray is fighting Lawton which I think was known and expected. Good bout for Murray to prove himself.

    Chisora would be a massive test, make no mistake. Chisora when motivated is impressive at British level.

    I'd like to see how Tyson deals with Chisora's attacks, Chisora attacks with a lot of conviction, throwing proper punches with handspeed and decent power. Tyson has not dealth with anybody with that capability, it would test his defence and his ability to counterpunch.

    It is all about whether or not Chisora could get in on Fury because of his height, reach and speed.

    Both these guys look like they need some hot chocolate and a hot water bottle. Not sure if they are legal age to fight.

    I'm sure he'd give it a good shot. Nobody has even tried to mount a serious attack with any technical ability on Fury, because they don't have the talent.

    So yes, Fury is very impressive offensively but I think somebody like Chisora would be the first to test his defence and whiskers, and maybe his toughness and stamina in the later stages.

    I'd back Fury, but it would be his first serious test.

    McGuigan talks absolute shite sometimes but he was right then when he was saying about Fury moving his head and turning away. He turns his head and flinches a little. Not moving his head 'out of the way' moving it but he squints his eyes and seems to turn away in anticipation. Could come unstuck if someone threw a feint then followed that up quickly. His jab was impressive though as was the 1st and 3rd K/D. If Chisora goes for him would be interesting to see if he moves his face around like that and if Chisora picks up on it

    That guy in a kilt and Ellis were experienced guys. At the moment Chisora is obviously better. I want to see it but would Frank make it?

    Good question. Depends...Frank might be getting pissed off with Chisora's antics and lack of motivation in some of these smaller fights. He might figure its time to put him in with somebody that will get him excited. There is a lot of frustration and boredom in Chisora I believe.

    Ellis is shot, he just got beat by a light heavyweight. That German was just ****, exactly what I'm talking about. Chisora can punch properly.
