    if he gets back in shape and improves his skills more with better jab and range keeping ability ide give him a shot at beating vitali the state vitali seems to be in these days,

    though i think price is better,

    but not sure whos chin would fair better in a vitali fight and ide bet price would outbox fury.

    What an abysmal division.

    I like Fury but he shouldn't be able to say "I was a top 10 heavyweight in the world" at the end of his career.

    The boy Fury now up to #5 in the world by boxrec too, and i belive he will be looking for a world title shot should he get past M-Rog, Hence the departing of his Domestic belts.

    If Fury is number 10 then surely if he beats Ali Adams then Audley Harrison makes the top 20? :yep

    Do you reckon he'd have got bumped up like that if he hadn't vacated his domestic and commonwealth belts?

    Price does a number on him when they eventually get it on.

    Probably. If you think about it, hes beaten Chisora, who just had a good showing against Vitali and is almost universally thought of as the winner of the Helenius bout.

    The division reaches an all-time low.

    The problem as i see it is that Fury has massive potential, but whoever trains him is an idiot.
    He has everything needed to become a champ, but he just doesnt seem to improve technicaly.
    He looks far to amature to rock with the top boys in the division.
    Now if he got a top trainer on board, like roach, man he could go onto take the division appart.
    And to be honest, the same applys to Haye, i dont rate jedi booth at all, and Haye could be so much better if he was more technicaly sound at boxing.
    As it is, he relies far to much on one two punch combos to try and knock oponunts out.

    Too much credit to Chisora for doing better than expected rather than, y'know, actually doing well.

    Looking at the top ten is depressing. Awful

    i think almost everyone is min agreement the Chisora that faced Klitscko/Helenius beats Fury with ease.
