    Yes i agree Fury has power, i'm not denying that, so far he hasnt stopped anyone in one round and Cooper was just as good if not better than Furys best opponents.

    So how does he blow Cooper in one round, Cooper would have been Furys most experience foe

    No, i'm still waiting for you to explain how when Fury has not done that to any of his opponents including much poorer and smaller opponents

    Ill answer it for you.

    Here, ill answer the question for you. Fury, so far in his career has koed 3 men in the first round.


    Bela Gyongyosi - who had been knocked out 9 times before

    Mathew Ellis - who was also knocked out by Audley Harrison, Tony Bellew and Enzo Macranelli

    Hans-Joerg Blasko - who only boxed a total of 35 rounds during his whole career.

    No way does Fury KO Cooper in one round

    Well I suggest you look at my posts in the British Forum; I have got a lot of time for Fury, he has potential.

    All undefeated fighters have potential, until they lose.

    This is the classic forum, and the one thing that is most certain to make people dismiss a fighter from any era, is not having beaten somebody ranked in the top 10.

    That is almost the baseline for being relevant on this forum!

    Yes it's likely that a 6'9 250lb super-heavyweight would beat a shaky-chinned, cut-prone opponent who needed weights in his pockets to scale 190lb. It's really damning with feint praise though.

    I would say that your confidence is grossly misplaced at this stage.

    Fighters who show "crazy potential" are ten a penny!

    I said the same thing earlier, all fighters were undefeated with lots of potential....until they lose.

    He keeps telling me Fury would KO Henry Cooper in one round, yet totally ignoring the fact that Fury only beat 3 men in one round.

    Yes at cruiserweight.

    Fury is a heavyweight, now name a world class heavyweight hes beaten.

    Cunningham had done nothing at heavyweight to be even ranked, let alone count as world class.
