    Seth Mitchell. Undefeated - in that transition phase between prospect and contender. Holds a win over a pretty damn decent HW in Timur Ibragimov. Looks to have very heavy hands, and good speed, reflexes, and just overall athleticism. Chin, and stamina untested.


    Bryant Jennings. Undefeated. About the same experience as Fury on the professional level. Holds a win over Sergei Liakhovich. Pretty much shut him out, and looked very good doing so. Very fast hands, and quick feet. Good power, but not great. Natural athlete. Good stamina. Chin untested.


    Bermane Stiverne. 20 plus professional fights. OK speed. Good power. Was kinda getting tooled around by a waaaaayyy past it Ray Austin, who was never anything more than a glorified journeyman even in his prime. But to his credit, he fought through it, and got the stoppage. More questions than answers despite having more fights. Chin somewhat tested. GOod stamina.


    Deontay Wilder. Perhaps has the most upside of all. Good amateur pedigree/olympic bronze medal winner. Still has yet to fight anybody with a pulse @ the professional level. Soo many questions left.


    I would love to see Fury debut @ Madison Square Garden on St. Paddy's day 2013 against one of these guys. The best fight I feel would be against Mitchell, since he seems to be the most aggressive of the lot.

    his biggest problem will be an athletic type of fighter. fury has problems with mobility as most tall boxers do except for the klits since they preach defense 1st

    I cant awnser this, because I dont watch Bermane, Deontay, and Bryant. I've only seen mitchell.

    Mitchell doesnt really have problems with taller fighters, who knows. I will say that Fury reminds me of Gerry Cooney, except Cooney was in shape.

    Fury needs to be matched with stationairy fighters right now. He won't be able to deal with a mover IMO.

    Tyson Fury vs (Dare I say it) Chauncy would be a good debut U.S fight for TF.

    SETH MITCHELL: Mitchell is a flawed fighter who will sooner or later be exposed. Still, he's strong as hell, has pretty good punching power, very nice hand speed, and he puts his shots together in combination impressively. Mitchell has an excellent jab.

    Tyson Fury is even more flawed than Mitchell, I believe. I say this mostly because Fury is simply too easy to hit. We've seen Fury hit often by rights, and sometimes shaken and floored by these punches. For these reasons, I think Fury's chances against Mitchell look grim.

    Mitchell by decisive KO within five rounds.

    BRYANT JENNINGS: I don't know how Jennings-Fury would turn right now, because I'm still learning about Jennings. So far, I'm heavily impressed. Jennings seems to have that special something: excellent boxing ability, rapid, lateral foot movement, capacity to punch from a wide variety of angles, athleticism, and combination punching that could make him a big winner over the long run.

    OUTCOME: I don't know, because I don't know how Jennings will handle Fury's size and style (both of which make fights). I'm leaning toward Jennings, though.

    BERMANE STIVERNE: Stiverne is flawed -- we all saw what kind of trouble he had against Ray Austin not long ago. However, Stiverne has wrecking ball punching power, especially in his right hand. Another thing about Stivere is that his hand speed seems lightning quick. Given what we've seen of Fury's vulnerabilities, I'd have to lean toward Stiverne here.

    OUTCOME: Stiverne by KO. The right hand does the job at some point in the fight, although I don't know when.

    DEONTAY WILDER: Wilder, right now, is a mystery, in terms of his fighting abilities. I haven't seen much of him yet, so I don't really know what to say. However, I find it really suspicious that Golden Boy has been hiding Wilder for so long in the boondocks, putting him in with just "C" and "D" level opposition where the media cannot keep an eye on him. Add to this the persistent rumors that Wilder is chinny, and I'm left thinking that this is one American prospect that cannot beat Fury.

    OUTCOME: Fury wins it. I'm not sure if the bout goes the distance, but I'm kind of looking for Fury to win this fight by stoppage.

    Re-sits mate? (What subjects?)

    I'm too tired to teach, so they can do circuits tomorrow :bart I've been wondering if I can just stick a fight on one of the TV's and get them to sit and see how Pro's do it.

    Not sure if their parents would be thrilled about paying me to watch TV with them :huh
