    We can say what we want to say about Fury but the kid is entertaining. A breath of fresh air in a ****ing ****/boring division. What do people want, seriously? He may lack ability but he has utter belief in himself as an individual. He went to America, talked **** to Brother Nasim, goaded Cunningham into smashing him on the chin, got knocked down smiled about it, got up, and knocked Cunningham the **** out, had the crowd on their feet and sang to them at the end. Although he isn't a great boxer he is ****ing entertaining. Price is deadwood compared to Fury. Where did being a nice guy get Price?? Dude got knocked out and didnt get up. Fury is still standing.

    What difference does that make anyway? He got up again and won the fight, Wlad went down 3 times against Peter, got sparked on 3 separate occasions, Lewis got sparked twice as well, mean NOTHING to get knocked down in heavyweight boxing and if you get back up and win if anything you deserve more credit.

    He KOed ****. Huck was gassed out and his trainer pulled him out of the fight. Huck was schooled badly against Cunningham, needed a KO and threw everything he had and gassed out after that.
    Cunningham was still in his prime back then (6!!! years ago).

    From a purely boxing point of view, hes very poor imo

    entertainment, being a KO risk, being mad etc makes him great TV though!

    I don't think a thrown towel in the 11th round is really a good illustration of someone's punching power. Before that his last "TKO" was on cuts. You have to go back 6 years for an actual legit stoppage win (and that was against a guy with 10 stoppage losses on his record). Cunnigham has got 12 stoppage wins in 31 fights. At cruiserweight. He clearly has little or no power at heavyweight, unless he's fighting someone with a dodgy chin, like Fury.
