    Didn't know he had been! I bet he 's in that garage, pacing away like a gerbil on a wheel!

    Tyson Fury excels in one area; when it comes to this particular skill, he is as good as any fighter ever has been. He may very well be the best ever when it comes to looking busy while doing basically nothing. And that is a skill. In the case of Tyson Fury it plays out this way: In a 3 minute round, two guys throw 41 punches between them, one guy lands two, Fury lands 6, and people call it a boxing master class.

    That is a skill.

    At some point he will fight a guy that won't let himself be scammed; he'll make Fury fight. Dempsey would not be scammed but it could be that Fury is big enough to smother and manhandle him up close, wear him down that way.

    Are we sure about Frazier not being half the puncher Foreman and Liston were...I don't know about that. They both had by far the greater right hands, but I honestly can't put Sonny's hook with Joe's. George had an incredible hook but twice as hard?

    No.

    Undoubtedly. Fury would gas with the pace Dempsey would set. Dempsey KO.

    With the Pace that Jack would set? Have you seen Fury fight? He moves around the ring probably twice as much as Dempsey.
