Will he do what a quality big heavyweight should...by beating David Haye....or does he lack the quality ? any thoughts ?
Tyson would get KO'd by Wlad easy and i think Haye will KO him as well. Fury is intelligent and can adapt but Cunningham floored him with a shot Fury should have seen coming. He's a good fighter but i don't think top level. Has heart though and recovers well from knockdowns. Can fight southpaw if he needs to. Still i think Haye will catch him and that'll be it. Fury will prob be ahead on points though.
I hope he is for he is fighting a very good opponent later this month and I want to watch some good fights after this weekend's fiasco. Fury also needs new tactics since Haye will not let his play around dirty like Steve USS. He will need more than that against Haye. I am looking forward to watching his fight. Chisora v Gerber should be a good appetizer next week.
I would only say that he would have a chance with Wlad if he went out swinging big in the first round, as Wlad always seems to struggle when someone is throwing punches in bunches. But I imagine after the first punch from Wlad, Tyson would end up like all the rest.
Much has been made on the cunningham knockdown but it was more of a flash kd and didn't genuinely hurt him. Later in the fight cunningham hit fury with similar shots and he stood up to them. It's been really overplayed that he has a glass chin when he actually doesn't. Simple case of losing concentration. Fury has a very good chance against haye, but I wouldnt put money on fury winning because of his unpredictability. However he showed in the Kevin Johnson fight he has the tools to outbox david haye and beat comfortably providing he can avoid the hayemakers.
time will tell if he is the real deal or not.... i dont think hes world class..but def a decent heavyweight
A 6'9 heavweight, with the longest reach in world boxing (bigger than Valuev) who can throw punches in bunches, switch to southpaw with ease, is unbeaten, took Chisora's '0', first fighter to ever stop USS Cunningham, youngest ever British & Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion etc. etc. Yep. He iis pretty average in every single way
I think fury (if he fight smart) will beat haye. If he performs like he did last time he loses badly. Its good for him this is not in the US as without peter fury in the corner he loses the plot
He's big. Yup, he has that. Cunningham is 37, past-prime, and was chinny at CW, gave up 45lbs and still almost stopped Fury. USS was no stranger to touching canvas. Chisora is average at best as well, and before you mention Helenious.. same. I didn't say he sucks. He's just an average fighter with tremendous size and reach. That's good enough to beat a shitload of HW fighters these days... for ****'s sake look at Valuev.
