Has there ever been a British HW with such...

His sparring seems to be pretty poor too. All i've heard so far about who's in his camp are a bunch of "hard as nails 6'5 kickboxers".

 

Furys dancing about, switching to southpaw won't help one bit.

His defence hasn't improved enough and klitschko will make this look easy!

 

Who cares about prep. Pulev had fought some taller fighters and was battered from pillar to post, because he has an upright no headmovement style and no right hand..

 

He's getting ko'd Fury, spark out.

 

Dunno about the sparring he is getting but early pics and videos show he is prob entering this training camp in better condition than we have ever seen before. I'll comfortably say that this will be the best conditioned Tyson we have ever seen. If he can avoid the big shots from Wlad he really does have the tools to beat him.

Sadly the only way i can see him getting awarded a win over in germany is if he KO's Wlad and that i dont see happen.

Would love it if big daft tyson won, I started off years ago as disliking him but now cant help but like him really since the Cunningham fight i couldnt help but like the guy.

I really hope he pulls it off

 

Yeah its bizzare prep.
its like they have taken Wilders avoid anyone with pulse and changed it to avoid anyone with a pulse over 6' 4.

Cunnginham and Chisora have been OK fights for him for differing reasons but since the Rogan fight I really feel he's missed out on getting some proper tests in. The Ustinov fight that was mooted would have been good prep. He had fought the likes or Rogan and McDermott did he really need to fight a tuff but lightly skilled Joey Abell or Vinny Madalone. Could he not have tied for Wach or Arreola who are at least decent sized lumps with some talent.

Its the problem with boxing these days how many fighters do what degale and groves did and fight on the way up? Hasn't harmed them one bit. Degale is now a champ and Groves has had 3 goes at it

 

They took the easiest route possible, whilst ensuring Fury made as many headlines as possible on the way in order to maximise his pay day.

Had they been serious about winning this fight there were a number of opponents they could have fought, but they didn't.

 

This is really how I feel about him, used to really dislike him and would get so annoyed whenever he spoke about how great he is, now find myself really rooting for him, seems a decent guy and when you strip away all the stupidness I think he's quite a normal bloke that just enjoys having a fight.

I still don't think he's particularly any good but I really would love to see him do it

 

I think underneath all the foul mouthed bluster and bravado he's basically a good lad.
It's makes no difference though he's got no chance and is going to get sparked.

 

always like Tyson in the amateurs. Very confident and not always in the best shape but came across as a down to earth bloke.

I also went off him a bit when he turned pro, think around the time he and Price were expected to fight. I though he ducked the Price fight whilst trash talking him - I did also think Price was the real deal though

Like him now though. The way he has handled himself after the mess with Haye has been quality, seems really focussed

Can't see him beating Wlad but would be great if he could. Will be interesting to see his tactics, cant imagine he will try and outbox at distance. Would be great if he gets stuck straight in and tries to get him out of his comfort zone in which case either could knock the other out

 

yeah if i was a betting man the money would have to go on a Wlad KO after Tyson gets up about 3 times!

He has guts Tyson i think anyway, I really hope he has it in him tho. If we think he is outspoken just now just imagine what it would be like if he won !

Liike the guy said the whole time during the Price/Fury debate his conditioning was the thing that bothered me the most,how a young guy couldnt get in shape annoyed me.

I think in general knowedge terms he really aint the brightest, he defo has his wells of wisdom tho, in terms of boxing he is a complete historian i can assure you. He will know more about Wlads fights than Wlad does, he really will !

Ill be rooting for the big chap... best o' luck son !

 

Fury's only hope is that Wlad has grown old.
Wlad didn't look at his best against Jennings and it is possible he is declining rapidly, at 39 years of age.

That's the only thing Fury has going for him. The fact that he's young and can get himself into prime shape better than ever. Wlad may not have that luxury.

But, yeah, most likely expect Wlad to smash him to pieces.

 

I wish Fury could win this, but he gets hit far too easily. I don't think this is going 3 rounds.
