Johnson aint great but he is probably a bit much for Fury at this point.It would be a good win for Fury if he could pull it off but the difference in expeirence would most likely tell as the fight went on.Fury would probably lose on a stoppage at this time.

 

Fury should have an another couple of figths first.

 

Johnson played possum in his fight, rather refusal to fight, Vitali once he got into a ring. He should go after Haye.

 

Do not understand what you mean please clarify.

 

Fury should take this, Johnson is a useless arse

 

fury v towers would be intresting at this moment in time

 

English champion Tyson Fury has put former amateur rival David Price at the top of his heavyweight hit list. Fury and trainer and uncle Hughie were surprised the British Boxing Board of Control blocked his proposed fight with Frans Botha at Wembley Arena on Saturday, February 19. As Hughie points out, only world champions Michael Moorer, Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko and Evander Holyfield have beaten Botha in his 56-fight career.

That eight-round loss to Holyfield in April, 2010 was Botha’s last fight and Hughie said: “Botha has boxed in world class and surely he’s a tougher opponent than John McDermott, who Tyson has boxed twice.

“We are surprised the Board have turned him down. There aren’t many heavyweights out there for Tyson to fight.”

Matt Skelton, the former British, Commonwealth and European heavyweight champion, has been mooted as a possible opponent, along with Kevin McBride.

McBride is best remembered for sending Mike Tyson into retirement and Fury said: “I would like to get revenge for Mike.

“But I don’t see that any of the opponents that have been suggested are better than Botha.”

The Furys reckon Botha is a tougher opponent than Osborne Machiman, who boxes David Price in a Commonwealth heavyweight title eliminator in Brentwood on Saturday, February 5.

Tyson, mandatory challenger for the British belt held by Dereck Chisora, says he’s ready to step in if the South African pulls out.

He boxed Price in the North West final of the ABA championship in November, 2006 and was beaten on points.

Fury said: “I was 17 years old and had 12 amateur fights. He was Commonwealth Games gold medallist. A lot has changed since then.”

Fury wanted a box off with Price to decide who would go to the qualifiers for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

But he never got the chance to avenge that loss and added: “I’m willing to fight him again.”

 

but at least he comes to fight.

 

I think 'Safetypin' is better than his Vitali fight showed. He deservedly got a lot of stick for making no attempt to win the fight but he looked like he had a decent jab, was never hurt at any time and made Vitali look a bit of a mug by the end of it all.

Fury would be better off fighting one of the other British heavyweights (Sexton, Price even Sprott), Id fancy Johnson to get the better of him at this stage.

 

Too early for Fury, even after the Vitali performance. Johnson's quality defence would be more thn enough to kep fury off and his jabs good enough to get him a decision

 

Good fight for them they both are boring fighters safty pen would be the quicker of the two and fury would throw more punches personaly i dont care to see it unless i needed a sleep aid

 

Agree.............

I dont think I would take Johnson on if I were Steward, not at this point anyway.

 

This is a very good fight if you ask me. Johnson is a fat pie boy and his best days are long gone. But if Fury wants some name recognition beating a guy like Johnson will go a long way.
