I guess so atleast it will be entertaining, but after talk of Povetkin im a little dissapointed. Will be fun fight though :happy
Despite Micks spiel Furys a good 12/ 18 months away from Povetkin (if he even gets to that level) IMHO.
I wish Fury could settle down, so many outside problems, plus his lazyness are hindering him. I think he takes it serious he could make it to challenging for a world title at some point (2 years onwards) and who knows could well win.
absolutely agree, at least settle down with one coach, preferably abroad imo, but in an interview a couple of weeks ago with BN he flat out refuses to consider keeping a coach for any period of time, saying he likes switching, doing him no favours imo. if they want the money fight with the k-bros then manny steward's out of the question i guess, but i think he'd be best for tyson if they think more long term and accept they might miss out of fighting one of the brothers
:good This, Any sportsman or team needs consistent coaching, it's like when we look at clubs not producing talent for the national side. A reason is the turnover in staff at clubs. Fighters need freshness i understand that with Fury but he needs repetition and set periodic session plans for 12 months at a time. He needs to work on different aspects of his game with Manny who i believe is the right man for him. Yes Manny loves a poundnote but he loves his fighters, wants the best for them and provides quality work. Tyson's a fool for not working more with him IMHO. If his career was managed and developed to a plan i could see the lad florishing but at the moment change is not good as Yorkshire tv once said!
i think tyson gets confused between switching coaches, and working in different camps with different coaches, i'd encourage him to try out different gyms and spar big names, work with different coaches for certain periods of time early in his career, as long as he has a "home gym" he returns to, with a coach that knows him and knows how to get the best out of him for an upcoming fight, chris johnson didnt have time to get either of those things, nor will the next guy. manny is best for him imo but then he rules himself out of the klitschkos, he mentioned roach, any thoughts on that?
i quite liked the idea of roach as i know he's quite good at ironing out flaws rather than building people from the ground up, but does tyson need that? or does he need to start from scratch agian, the more i think about it the more i think his technique needs total overhaul,so he should go manny
you think its too far down the line for him? hes only what 23? i still have hope he can learn to punch properly and have some sort of defence/footwork
As you say Jim, when you list the things to work on they are a list of boxing fundamentals! "Never say never" and all that but I'll be amazed if any trainer can iron out enough of those faults.
ye good point, it'll be hard for him to unlearn his bad habits, but i'm hopeful he can, or at least avoid wild overhand rights
