    US fight fans ...who is better?

    Just watching Fury demolish Maddalone on tv here at the moment in the UK as part of the build up to his fight vs Abell.

    Maddalone is ranked higher and has fared better against heavyweight opponents than Abell ... going the distance with Boystovv and doing well against Povetkin.

    Is Abell a more dangerous opponent for Tyson Fury though??

    He did put Pulev down for the count and hang around for 5 rounds with him.

    Abell.... but thats not to say he poses a significant of threat. Abell has that punchers chance that Maddalone lacked though.

    Agree with above Fury has a weaker chin than Pulev, Tyson was put down by an average hitting cruiser ffs. If Abell can lan, he could do some serious damage!

    I hope on fury to win even tho he is talking **** ...prefer to see him fighting some bigger names. I want him to fight Pulev , Arreola or mike perez i think all of them beat him but it will be a good match for all of them

    This a stay busy fight, I have no problems with it.... Thanks to Gaye, Fury has been out of the ring for close to a year. Fury will fight someone better in his next fight before his rematch with Chisora this summer.

    I don`t think Fury`s chin is weak. He just lacks defence and gets easily hit. His size makes him a legit top 10 HW but he can only become a champion in England with ******ed Brit referee and judges ... you all probably know what I mean.
    Abell is more dangerous than Vinny. I don`t know who is tougher though.
