    Been watching the sky build up programmes and can't work out whether fury is deluded,acting up or whether he really believes he can win. He seems to blink/close his eyes when making his bold claims so i think he is scared. I have never been convinced by him as a boxer he has fought no one and looked poor doing it generally or have i missed something?

    Let's see in the ring.
    Thats where it counts.

    After all, wasnt fraudley the most convincing talker ever.

    I like to see what happens in real life. Personally I think Fury folds like a deck of cards. This is over under 6. Wlad KO win.

    Doesn't go 4 rounds.

    But he will make a few million.

    He does genuinely believe in himself, I just think he's wrong. He's the son of a gypsy hardman with a brother with an equally big reputation within the traveller community. I can't imagine many people would have bother anyone from his family growing up for that reason alone. That makes people confident.

    Then factor in he's six foot ****ing nine and you get a picture of why he's such a confident man. He's had everything his way his entire life. Unfortunately - for him anyway - Saturday is going to very different situation to what he's used to. It'll be interesting to see how he reacts to adversity/a devastating loss.

    Nope... With a capital NOPE!

    Ducked Price (a legit heavy hitter), got dropped by a blown-up CW (Cunningham), had the poorest prep possible (Johnson, Chisora etc) for a man of Wlad's skill and size, and has ducked and talked his way into this fight.

    You're talking about a man that went life and death with JOHN McDERMOTT!

    You're talking about a man that fights southpaw against HW's with the lowest output ever (Johnson) FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

    You're talking about a man that UPPERCUTTED HIMSELF IN THE FACE!

    You get the drift...

    I don't know what he's ever done to have a high rating.
    His best win is over the mediocre Chisora and although he's got some talent he's always to me looked sluggish and out of condition.
    I don't think he'll be able to take Wlad's power.

    You know Wlad did this against Jennings. For some reason it's never brought up.

    I certainly believe he believes what he says, I do think he is a very good heavyweight, with his size and natural attributes I think e could be a real force. I really don't have a 100% belief on who wins this fight to be honest, I have a gut feeling for Fury but think that is more my hope that he wins.

    No he was losing kudos almost from day one.

    I hope I am wrong, that humble pie will taste good, but I do not think Fury has much of a chance on Saturday of even going half a dozen rounds, let alone winning.

    But he is unbeaten, has had to work fairly hard to get here and thus has the right to try and sell the fight with his cheesy, but sometimes amusing antics.

    If he's allowed to fight on the inside and isn't stupid defensively he could take Wlad the distance.
