    Utter shite, what a stupid comment! Seems to me that some of these new generation fans know **** all about boxing. You're either great these days or shite, no inbetween.

    New Generation? I've been around the game for years, son!

    Tyson is lucky that the HW Division is THE WORST it's EVER been.

    Beating up Blown up CW's and old men means nothing.

    That is nothing to do with Tyson Fury that is to do with the era and the current heavyweight fighters in it...

    Therefore Tyson Fury is one of the best of a bad bunch...:good

    Well if you've been around for years you should know better then. Saying he is utter shite is a ridiculous comment and you know it.

    Tyson is a very good boxer. He was jabbing and moving with Chisora and embarresed him. This is the same guy who got up close and inside with Haye and roughing him up. Fury is by no stretch a bum.

    Fury is a fighting man....... That's his weakness

    Fighting and boxing are totally different imo

    A fighter uses his heart a boxer his head

    When fury decides to use his head his will be a force unfortunately imo it will take a loss for it to sink in

    That my take on it anyway

    I think he's got to keep that fighting spirit but learn to control it and mix it with his boxing.

    He's basically a tall version of Manny Charr.

    This is my unbiased view of Fury....from a fury hater.....

    I dislike Fury personality wise, and my personal opinion of him as a boxer is that he is borderline world class, but in boxing terms (and especially in Heavyweight terms) he is an infant, so has a lot of room to continue to grow.

    However, you cant deny he really has come a long way in the past few years (I have seen every single fight of his). His conditioning has improved, his ring IQ has improved, and he still has a lot of room to grow as a fighter. He also punches with a lot more snap, and conviction these days. Not exactly more power, just better technique.

    He also has so much heart, and is very entertaining to watch. I love his reaction to getting knocked down. He just grits his teeth and works harder and it shows true heart.

    I cant see him ever being the best HW in the division, however with his size, and continued growth, he will certainly be in the mix for a while.

    I cant say he is better than I think he is, but he seems to have exceeded my expectations of him so far. I was 100% certain that Chisora was going to beat him, and he didn't.

    Jury is still out, and if he can get some world class training in he will continue to improve

    I more or less agree with everything you said there, specially the first bit.

    Short,sweet,and accurate.He was fighting in MSG without the presence of his uncle.And as you say he is still young.Cunningham is about the size of a Zora Folley/Eddie Machen type fighter,and a throwback to their skills,maybe a bit less.In the light of this,do the knockers think his performance was a bad one?I don't agree that he is either slow or lacking skill.Think he's being brought along at the right pace.Pulev might have been too much at this stage,but maybe not in 2 years time.The Haye fight would be 50 50 I think.
