    In every fight he's had, he's been in there with someone who has a legitimate chance of not just hitting him, but knocking him out... With the initials T. F.

    He's ****. Mark my words he will disappoint the UK fight fans in his first big challenge at British Title level, way worse than even Audley has. He looks like bambi when a fighter punches in combos, wait till he fights someone he can't push backwards.

    i'm not bothered about the quality of his opponents at the moment, at this stage there are certain things you look for in a young fighter and fury ticks a lot of boxes, i like what i see, he behaves like a fighter, doesn't get flustered, good fundamentals and when was the last time you saw a heavyweight put 6 piece combinations together like that

    he needs to work on not pulling back in a straight line when going away from punches, he does little amateurish things, he hasn't got good anticipation and looks slightly clumsy as a result, but thats all things that could be worked on and improved immeasurably, i also think his mental maturity and fortitude is well ahead of his physical development

    its too early to judge how far he'll go, but one thing you can't do is totally dismiss him, call him "****" or think of him as some sort of bum, thats just being callous or outright hate
