    Lol @ Tyson being more Fluid than Price!

    Fury is a terrible Boxer, IMHO. He is horrible. Take away his size and you have nothing. Take away Price's size and you've still got a ton of skill.

    Good point, i could compare him to that Wlad, but not the current Wlad.

    Fury has much better movement, throws better combinations and is more fluid than Price. Most heavyweights are. Price is the definition of a "stiff" fighter. Doesn't mean he's a bad fighter, but anyone who's watched the two fighters can see it's clear Price is the more robotic of the two.

    Fury vs McDermott 1 was a decent fight but Fury vs Chisora? That was ****ing horrible. Both were fat as **** and were knackered after four rounds. That's why a rematch with both in shape would be interesting.

    I really enjoyed it, and I usually hate those sloppy slug fests.

    It was edge of your seat stuff for the first half. Second half didn't match the first half of the fight, but still decent. Okay maybe the skill level wasn't that high, but still a fun fight IMO.

    :lol: Price more fluid then Fury. Ero summed up my thoughts nicely.

    Fury for a guy his size has brilliant mobility. Peter Fury spent a while in the can but he's showing himself as a very good coach.

    Could you ever see Price switch-hitting or fighting southpaw?

    Exactly Bill, Fury is deceptive with his movement and his ability to throw punches through the ranges. He's shown ability to fight various styles as well as different stance and has had success at a decent level.

    I think he's not even hit his ceiling for his development i think there may not be room to grow in height but in skill there's plenty and people can say what they like about Fury's opponents but he's beaten various styles and abilities as well as guys at different periods in career.

    Could you ever see Price uppercutting himself in the face?

    The answer to all 3 questions is a resounding NO!

    The last few fights I have been really impressed with him, he's adding maturity to his performances and as you said, his movement for a big big man is very good. :good

    No he's far to stiff to be able to do that.

    I said myself on the Wingy podcast this week that Fury has very good movement for a big man, he's lost a load of weight and is definitely now more mobile. 18 months ago he was out of breath if he threw a single combination and the way he threw his punches was sloppy as ****, even his uncle Hughie said so.

    His punches now though are definitely better but still aren't as forceful or powerful as Price's are. All David would have to do is land a big right on Fury and he'd have Tyson at his mercy. That's why if they ever do fight I reckon Tyson would be better to try and out-box Price. He's got a lot in his locker does Fury, he just hasn't used enough of it until recently.

    If Tyson charges in and tries to blast Price out in an all out fist fight then he'll likely get KO'ed himself, he doesn't have one punch knockout power like David does. He'd be better to move around and lot and box David at range. Break him up and then go in for the kill late.

    Price has brutal power that much is true,but it's not exciting watching him knock out the people he's been knocking out,Fury isn't afraid to get involved in a scrap,it might look messy but when he abandons the game plan it's great fun to watch.

    What's all this about Fury not being fluid?, he moves great for a big man, and his combinations are brilliant at times.
