If even his countrymen really believed he had a decent chance, we would have had antother Haye like hype on our hands right now. But in reality it are only the usual suspects (read the guys who favor anyone against Wlad) that favor Fury if the fight happens
Of course he has a chance, he holds several advantages such as height, reach and hand speed. He matches up well with Wlad stylistically and will be the first opponent that is significantly bigger than him. He will turn up in much better shape than the Chisora fight and will step up another level. Still, probably got a 1 in 10 chance of winning.
People will laugh at this but its the utter truth. Fury has size, stamina and heart to actually fight but he also has one other crucial element and thats skill. He is the most skilled heavyweight other than Klitschko out there. He has good footwork, especially given his size. An excellent jab. Good movement, combination punching which is something you don't really see from any heavyweight including Wlad. He can switch hit and make easy work out of Vitalis and Hayes hardest and best wins. More people are coming round to him but he he will be very difficult to beat. Some laughed at the way he got knocked down against Cunningham but Cunningham is clawing his way up the rankings beating undefeated heavies. No one else would be able to deal with him the way Tyson did. He's the real deal and will be major for the heavyweight division. A fighter people will actually want to watch.
More skilled than Povetkin or Pulev or Haye? Give over! It's come to something when you've got people out there who TYSON FUREY is the most skilled HW Boxer on the planet that isn't called Wladimir Kiltschko! The same man that uppercutted himself in the face, that guy?
