    People age at different rates, especially in boxing, sure, but there comes a point where being old simply becomes being old. A young 40 is no match for being an average 24 in terms of comparative athletic ability.

    Mansour is the truth. He's not that old, and still has incredible speed and power.

    Pulev boxes nicely but from what I've seen he doesn't have the arsenal Glazkov has. That doesn't mean he won't be successful but what I have seen is Pulev using his jab-overhand right+timing+footwork+conditioning to wear down and beat opponents. Whereas what I have seen from Glazkov, tight effective counters, fairly solid punching power--not explosive punching but enough power to break an opponent down a la Holyfield and Glazkov landed those solid punches from different angles i.e. hooks and uppercuts and least I forget Pulev's upperbody movement keeps him in range to react effectively to an opponent. I see Glazkov as having more depth than Pulev.

    Emmanuel Steward:

    "Tyson Fury has the ability and I think in my expectations will be the next superstar dominant heavyweight much along the lines of Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko. The way that he's progressing now I believe he can be maybe the complete package for the heavyweight division because of his talent, he's good looking guy and very colourful personality, I think he can be a tremendous shot in the arm for the heavyweight division in the future."

    Tyson Fury is better at 20-0 and has a much higher ranking than either Klitschko brothers did at the same point in their career. Tyson is Fury is the man at Heavyweight

    I don't mean to be a jerk but this is almost insane.

    In Pulev and glazkov, you are talking about two amatuer stand outs who have translated their skills well enough to the pro ranks that they have beaten fellow contenders. Mansour is a 40 year old convict who has acomplished nothing.

    Vitali Klitschko became heavyweight champ in less than 3 years, Wladimir Klitschko in just under 4 years. Tyson Fury is now 4 years into his career and ranked 4th by the WBC impressive but he isn't ranked higher than the Klitschkos were at the same point of their careers.

    Vitali fought faded jorneyman Jose Ribalta in his 20th fight. Wlad fought Najee Shaheed. Tyson Fury is only 24 y.o

    Wlad was 24 when he beat Chris Byrd to win the WBO Heavyweight title, in just short of 4 years Wlad had 34 fights compared to Tyson Fury's 20 fights in 4 years. Wlad was fighting every month, sometimes two or three times a month.
