    I don't know but does anyone share Hennesy's sentiments that Tyson Fury is the best prospect in world boxing?

    Fury looked OK, but that's as far as I'll go. Needs to work on his conditioning. His skill level seems decent, although lacking pure KO power. Hopefully that will develop as he gets in the gym a bit more. No idea about his chin either.

    True, but at that age you'd hope he wouldn't have the layer of fat round he middle. I've a feeling that unless he is really dedicated, he's the type of fighter that could get pretty overweight, i.e. 300 lb overweight.

    German guy was completley insane and got a beating but the fight threw some questions of power about fury

    I watched Gypsy John a couple of times in the 80s against Neil Malpass and some other bloke. He wasn't bad, but nthing special..I wouldn't want to upset him though, apparantly he's a bit mad, not normal mad but gypsy mad divio

    I agree.

    There was a point, just before the stoppage, where Fury threw a flush lead right hook, which looked like it would have KO'd a Rhino, but the guy didn't even budge.
