    Adamek beats him up.

    For a bloke of 23, if Fury wants to make anything of himself he needs to show commitment to the trade. He's a ****in lard ass....OK, bit harsh perhaps...but if he can't even be arsed to get into proper prime physical shape then he can't ever be relied upon to work at his game and improve.

    I'd hope he gives it a go, although I've seen absolutely **** all to even remotely convince me he's ever gonna amount to anything above the level he's currently achieved.

    Fury could reach European level........but European level isn't that hard to achieve I mean Fraudley and Sprott have managed that feat.

    Right now Fury needs to badly tighten up his defence......because the better fighters in this division would have a field day with his exposed chin.....sure Fury has heart and good recuperation ability........but the better boxers are liable to hit Fury with good shots more than just once or twice in a fight like Firtha and Pajkic.
    Firtha and Pajkic weren't good enough boxers to keep the pressure on when they had Fury hurt.......and Chisora seemed out of shape.

    If Fury gets a much better defence I might change my mind about him.....but not overly convinced thus far.

    His movement is terrible, he has no defence, he doesn't punch correctly, he backs up in straight lines - and he's showing all of this at the point where he should be proving himself a prospect.

    Fury needs better training.

    No way! Fury needs atleast 2 more years of improving.

    Yeah this is correct and at the same time he is british and commonwealth title holder, does this show us all how bad the heavyweight division is or does the pikey keep showing us up coming in out of shape and still banging out wins. :think

    The former.

    It's not really worthy of any debate either. Even a Funso Banjo puts him to sleep.........

    I like him though, possibly cos I can have a conversation about his fights at work with people who aren't hardcore fans of the sport but enjoy watching a fight....

    He still hasn't actually fought anybody who's actually relevant in the division. He probably hasn't even faced anyone that would be considered top 40 yet. I think fringe HW contenders like Rahman, Pulev, Peter, Grant, Wach, Kingpin, Glazkov, Ustinov,Liakhovich and Briggs would destroy Fury now nevermind anybody who's actually rated.

    Normally I don't say this stuff, but if Chisora had been in better shape he'd have smashed Fury to pieces. Even without that benefit he landed at will and shook Tyson up. Chisora's a decent puncher, but nothing special.

    Tyson needs a lot of improvement and i've not seen any.

    Nout against Tyson at all but ive said this before and I'll say it again....

    The best thing about Tyson Fury is his name.

    The highlight of his career might yet turn out to be beating Rich Power on points to earn the right to have a cool name.

    Tyson's got the attributes, just needs the right diet, conditioning and training. Hopefuly getting decked by a guy with 5 KO's out of 16 fights will give him the wake up call he needs to start taking boxing serious.I say he should have at least 8 - 10 fights before even considering a world title shot
