    Fury will be hw champ at some point. And his cousin. There both kids really....

    Also I think when he grows up will be pivotal

    When I was laboring a few years ago I though I needed to struggle with all the heavy lifting to prove a point now I'm a older I'm more into self preservation rather than ruining it body for no reason

    This will happen. To fury. When he realises catching punches with it face isn't cool he will make more of aeffort

    I don't understand this KO ratio rating. Cunningham has been fighting world class fighters for the last 10 years. In this day and age KO ratio usually equates to level of opposition. It's easy building up ko ratio fighting lesser opponents. When you're fighting top level it's not as easy. Hence when the casual fan see's his boxer not knocking out his higher level opponent he sees it as a bad performance. Forget about ko percentage and just watch the fighters and their overall performance.

    I actually agree.
    Imo, people over-criticize the Cunnigham performance, and over-praise the Kevin Johnson performance.
    I thought the way he walked down and bullied Cunningham into defeat was quite impressive.


    Wladimir still looks good enough to knock Fury out, I think it would be quite one-sided and maybe brutally short .... and he's already beaten Haye.

    Vitali could certainly lose to either one, or anyone. He's been looking old, he is over 40, he's not 100% focussed on boxing, I think he's had new injuries. He's ripe to be beaten.

    No it's not and what is Haye, Holyfield, Foreman, Klitschko etc. a good heavy is a good heavy regardless of size or age.

    Youve got to be good if the hardest punch landed on you came from you.

    Good listen, Peter was bluntly honest about how crap Tyson was in the Cunningham fight.

    It nearly seemed to me that Peter was saying Tyson was a bit hard for him to manage in and outside the ring. Peter saying him not being allowed into America was a big problem, that told the story for me. Seems Tyson went on a solo run and threw the game plan in the bin.

    Ended up singing at the end, Tyson's definitely a bizarre character.

    Yes Tyson is much better than most people realize and he is gonna prove it.

    David Price you are getting KO'd 9-28 there is no doubt about it

    Tyson Fury aint the second coming of Ali or Marciano thats for sure, but he not utter shite like people are saying here.

    Id pick Fury to do Price by Knockout, I reckon he would even climb off the floor to break Prices heart.

    1) Haye 2) Fury 3) Chisora 4) Price

    From the pics of Tysons camp he looks to be in great shape.If he comes in lean like he did with Johnson then he's in with a great chance
