6ft9, 260lbs, can fight inside or outside, southpaw or orthodox, moving or smothering - all with a grin on his face from start to finish! Valuev ran Haye close, and Fury is a similar size to Valuev but with hand and foot speed that leaves Valuev in the dust. Ruiz was shot and ****, Audley was scared and old, and Wlad doesn't have Fury's punch variety, chin or heart. Against Chisora, Haye was looking more than a little gassed. Fury impressed me against Chisora - picking him off better than Vitali or Haye did, penetrating his guard with fluid combinations and mixing in body shots from either side, and utilizing decent head movement of his own (surprisingly) and bringing his hands into position instinctively under fire. Tyson rolled with many of Chisora's bombs like a man with more experience under his belt, which points to a natural knack for the game's finer points. His overall upper body control betrays the average law of a man his size. Physically, he's impressive. Against Vinny Maddalone, he actually boxed up on his toes from start to finish, which is highly unique for a man of 260lbs, and Maddelone had a 20+inch neck yet Fury's casual jabs and rights would jerk his head right back violently (Maddelone walked through shots loaded up by Mormeck) - suggesting a severe heavy-handedness to Fury's punches. Fury fought David Price as an amateur when he was 17 (Price was a fully-grown, experienced 23-year-old) and dropped him flat on his back with a perfect one-shot counter. Haye isn't one-shotting anyone at heavyweight - he hasn't been for five years at the weight (Fury has only been a pro for four years, yet has 4x as many heavyweight fights as Haye). Does he really punch harder than Fury?
WHO KNOWS what kind of fighting shape Haye will be in when entering the ring, with four completed rounds in the previous 27 months!
He picked off Chisora so well that, during the second round, he was nailed and - as always when someone lands a solid punch to his chin - hurt pretty badly. Fury has no defence and no chin. None. In fact, if you watch the opening round, there are so many times you see him leaving himself exposed with that awkward jab of his. Good power + good hand speed is going to prove a nightmarish combination for Fury.
