    Minnie, my boy. These fighters gotta pass a drug test before they fight. If they spend any amount of time with the ol' Gypsy dosser they're gonna be addicted to the Columbian marching powder just like Fury's buddy Joesniff Parker.

    Adam Booth would be a good fit. Haye and Groves we,re always pretty good at making opponents hesitant to close the distance/gap on them which helped keep opponents off them and kept them more efficient.

    Outside of the pacing i reckon that will be Moses biggest hurdle to overcome He kept Hrgovic off him by throwing the kitchen sink at him.

    Going forward tho he has to be more efficient. But if you cant stop opponents from coming forward without throwing the kitchen sink at them he will be in that exact same position again.

    What i remember was Groves and Haye having quite a wide stance at times....if you tried to close the gap a big right hand would be waiting on you. After a couple of them its not long before you become hesitant to close that gap. Thats when you can start controlling the distance and pace of the fight.

    You need power....which I reckon Moses does actually have. But he was too predictable with his power on Saturday night. Mix it up. He was kind of diluting his power by throwing threes and fours with a high volume continuously.

    Booth or Ingle. Who gives his fighters decent angles. That again makes you more hesitant to close the gap.

    Furys a natural imo. Hes worked hard at it granted. But i m not even sure hes even been taught half the stuff he does. Or hes thought it out for himelf either. Just naturally gifted.

    That doesnt usually go well when coaching.

    He needs to find a trainer that will ensure he knows what 12 rounds feels like, you can't go into a championship fight having without preparing for a fight that might go 12, that's being stupid

    No question about it.
