    Without a shadow of a doubt he is better than people give him credit. I think he has shown some real flashy combinations especially against Firtha, thought he boxed utter shite against Cunningham and still sparked him and he is only 24. The man has come along way people should start giving him some credit you don't get to wear he has if your a pudding. I think he is gonnar get better and better.

    "Blown up cruiserweights" always makes me laugh.

    How much did Marciano weigh? Henry Cooper?

    Fury is not the finished article but is improving. He should probably fight Adamek next and forget about Haye for the time being. The Haye fight would be lucrative financially but could sever his TV deal which he needs long term and is vital to his profile. We still have no idea what Hennessey's deal with Channel Five is.

    Fury might be waiting on what happens with the Vitali/Stiverne fight- if Vitali retires then he's very well placed in the WBC division.

    Johnson is a punching bag. He is lucky if he lets more then 3 shots go a round! I was so shocked people was saying this was a decent test?!? Johnson is bloody crap!!!!!! Eddie chambers would of been a test not a punch bag. Any one one would look good against him you don't need a game plan to fight Johnson. Fury does actually have decent hands but his chin is very bad! Any decent heavy weight beats him. Haye will probably put him in hospital! But goes to show how big Fury and his teams ego is! They honestly think he has a chance despite prity much the entire boxing world saying he doesn't

    All this sounds irrefutable and the fight should never happen.

    Until you recall that 190 lb, 5'10 cruiserweight Mormeck put Haye on the floor and had him clinging on for dear life.

    6'9 260 lb Fury can definitely KO Haye, make no mistake :good

    Tyson goes alright but back in the day guys like Shavers & Bugner would have been tuning him up let alone the too draw guys like Clay , Frazier ( Rip ) & George , good luck to the kid though he seems like decent enough fella but the heavies have lost their appeal as far as I'm concerned , boring as heck if I'm being honest .

    I think he has dreadful skills. Bad Defence, slapping punches and he holds this hands really low without the speed of hand to do so. He only wins because he is so much bigger than the guys he fights. Once he fights a fit guy of similar size he'll be shown up. I like his banter and bs but he's not the great British heavyweight hope many think he is.

    Love him or loathe him, you know you will watching, the man comes to fight and delivers entertainment. I cannot think of higher praise for a boxer, as this sport is about entertainment. Sure, the guy has more flaws than strengths but he is only kid by HW standards.

    Tyson Fury has potential and is underrated, but he is not ready for a Klitschko yet, not for a long time and he knows it.
