Dam right... He's a winner...! I am not saying he is going to become a Heavyweight Champion.. But with his dedication and work ethic, i have no choice to take him seriously.
He lacks power, aside from his decent left hook to the body Not a great athlete - McDermott outworked him Lacks the basic skills to get the most out of his lovely jab, McDermott was on his chest with ease, every time, no movement from Fury and he stopped jabbing after 2 rounds Very game, 10/10 on that score for the other night, he thought he was losing and he threw some bombs that last round, he's got a fighters mentality All in all I don't see anything to suggest a world class fighter, personally
Im going the other direction from most. After the performance from the weekend it seems he is a lot more talk than he is action. He was beaten very convincingly and saved by a judge/ref/fraudster. The most hyped fighters (or potential cash cows) always get the nod these days regardless of whether or not they win (unless they are KO'd) Its getting so bad these days that wrong decisions are becoming as popular as right ones
No, I don't take him seriously. He claims to be the best thing since Ali, and just got outboxed John McDermott. He's domestic level and needs to get himself in shape and keep his mouth in check until he's achived a lot more, IMO.
