    hes only 20 years old and has been a pro for half a year, absolutely no need to rush him whatsoever.

    That being said Sprott seems a very reasonable choice......8-10 rounds.

    The domestic HW scene is pure shite at the moment really, he should be able to move quickly through it

    Audley hasn't retired yet has he?

    I would like to see Tyson Fury fight the likes of McCall but i cant see it happening because for some reason his promotors cant make any fights for him, Why is he struggling to get people to fight him, I could name 10 good fights for him.

    Because whoever faces him and loses is facing a career in the domestics at best.

    All the British fighters are all in the domestic level anyway except for David Haye....

    I agree with MvGuigan on this one,time to step up

    He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.

    Does he have a chin?

    I've not seen him fight to be honest, just the knock outs at the end, he his chin been tested?

    Seen all his fights and he has not been caught yet, so your guess is as good as mine....

    Probably worth putting him into a 4 or 6er with someone that'll hit him hard then. If he takes a good punch then you know he can move on quickly, if it causes him problems then you know you'll have to take it a bit slower and work on defence.

    So we need to be listing bangers that are beatable. Honestly can't think of one off the top of my head but my knowledge of low level domestic Heavyweights isn't all that good.

    Fights for Tyson if he could get them would be, Sprott, David price, Chisora but i think he is on a ban. Pele ried good skills can bang abit, Chris Burton. I think all these could give him a good fight and test that chin.:good

    Poor work from Barry. Not just what he said, but the way he shouted down Thaxton on TV. Thaxton has done good work as a pundit, and then you get the more experienced Barry getting all animated, throwing his weight around, going on a rant that most ppl think is ridiculous. Unprofessional. Dock his wages, I say.

    I would much prefer to have a couple of pundits speak their mind and say what they think rather than cosy up to one another with the mutual backslapping that is synonomous with Sky pundits. Thaxton and McGuigan could shape up to be a nice little double-act, I hope we see more of them.

    Thaxton has it right,Fury is but a toddler in heavyweight terms,he needs to be brought along just right,not rushed and not held back.Both will stunt a fighter development.
