Thaxton & McGuigan debate Tyson Fury's career

It's a terrible idea to put Fury in with McCall while his endurance is still untested.

 

Thaxton is a classy guy. I really like him. He should be a regular.

 

ITV4 are my favourite channel for live boxing. I enjoy the behind the scenes stuff and ther commentary team is good. It'll be a pity if they stop their shows.

 

Get him in with fat McDermott.

 

Tyson Fury has not been fighting very long, give him a chance.

 

I was sat right next to them all on sat night. Very professional. Gabriel Clarke was in touching distance.... I was soooo nervous. He's my hero.

 

I am sure that McGuigan wouldn't have been so dismissive as to call fellow professionals "bums"...anyone who has the balls to climb through the ropes to make a living deserves some respect, whatever their ability level.

 

I'm getting seriously worried about you :deal

As for Fury, let the lad get a footing in the pro game before he starts fighting men like McCall

 

Totally agree :good

Maybe Rahman.....or even Dominick Guinn???? I think Williams is the best choice though

 

I don't think Rahman is a viable option, he will want too much money I think.

Not sure what Guinn has been up to of late, would he come over?

McCall might be a decent choice nine months or so from now, I dread to think what Hennessy will be saying if Fury managed to stop McCall.

This guy has knocked out Oliver McCall, the man that took punches from Buster Douglas, Tony Tucker, Frank Bruno and Lennox Lewis, and barely even moved - McCall even beat Lennox Lewis.....

Tyson Fury is better than Lennox Lewis.....

 

Mcguigan had the last word though with a sneaky little dig after the Lawton interveiw, highlighting that he'd put Kahn#1 with Murray#2.
Think Barry and Jono need a few rnds of 'light' sparring. Something I would'nt mind seeing

 

Put Fury in with McDermott, that will be a great test of where he's at and wouldn't be a dangerous move.
However, REALITY CHECK. Sorry, but I believe Tyson Fury will be knocked spark out by the first legitimate heavy handed and fast heavyweight he meets. His last fight was canny, he worked the body well and closed the ring adequately. But that chin??
Fury never moves laterally and his chin raises like an amateur as he back off from punches. Sorry but this is basic boxing technique which he hasn't learned and it will prove very costly as he has been thrust into the limelight. He even did it as an amateur and its notbeen rectified! Its a big 'ol chin just hanging there and I very much question anyone's ability to take a punch when their chin gets hit and its not tucked into their chest, let alone this young lad who I think will be exposed very soon. Sorry ITV4, I know you have big hopes but you've bought into the hype again.
