Tyson Fury with Emanuel Steward

GOAT Heavyweight right there. His Ali shuffle against John "The Doughnut" McDermott was the greatest piece of showman ship Boxing has seen since Bob Fitzsimmons invented the spin-a-rooney. He not only has the jab of prime Larry Holmes but the gypsy credentials to turn him into a wrecking ball. He wants to eat your heart.

 

Fury to become a World Champ in 2011.
Fury to become Undisputed World Champ in 2012.

Put your Mortgage on it. War Fuuuury!

 

Ok Boggle I'll give you a straight answer. I actually do really like him as a package but his dedication to conditioning worries me a bit. None the less I think progressed at the right speed he could be some sort of contender, maybe Champion depending on the depth of the heavyweight division. Once Haye and the Klitschko's are out of the picture I'm quite lost for answers on who is going to control the division.

Could Tyson Fury do it? I'd more inclined to say no but hey...Corrie Sanders won a title.

 

It's an excellent partnership. He's got a good base for Steward to build on, massive height, reach, decent hand speed for his size, a pretty good attitude. Not only is he training with one of the world's top trainers, but one suited to him [we obviously all know Steward's pedigree with trainer large heavyweights].

What's the deal with it though? Is he just getting the occasional session? Or is he over there pretty much full-time? He needs to stay there and fight over there in the States in my opinion, I think he'll go a lot further and there's a better standard of competition out there in terms of journeyman for him to learn from, aswell as probably better sparring available.

 

He needs to go on the treadmill and burn about 4 stones of blubber. He said in an interview that he has a sweet tooth and eats chocolate and sweets as if his life depends on it. :roflatsch

 

I forgot to add this to my earlier post but I think it's a good enough point to deserve its own slot. The teaming of Steward and Fury sounds brilliant on the surface but Fury really does need someone to give him a kick up the arse when it comes to getting him to do his roadwork, gym time etc. Steward on the other hand I've heard from a fighter (de la Hoya) was quite relaxed in his approach to training and advocates lots of rest. I think this could be a potential stumbling block. Thoughts?

 

He is certainly a colourful individual.

Anyone have the interview after McDermott II where he broke down during an admission that he need his 20 odd stone cousin to spar with him? I was in tears of laughter watching that interview.

 

Manny Steward can hopefully help Tyson Fury fix this...

Admittedly, I haven't seen any of Tyson's last 4 fights. Has his conditioning been shown up to be bad or something? Because I mean at the start of his career it didn't look bad, he looked like he carried the weight well and his hand speed wasn't impaired by it.

Or is it just an appearance thing?

 

The last one I saw was McDermott II. Before the fight, on his Facebook he was saying about how he had done no preparation and was planning on calling off the fight (not sure if someone had high-jacked his acocunt.) Then in the actually fight he came out very strong for the first three rounds, throwing out Ali shuffles and the like. Then he tired McDermott came on strong and Fury looked ****ed, looking to his corner, had nothing in the tank. I think he was kind of lucky McDermott gassed himself which Fury saw I think proceeding to beat the **** out of McDermott with this energy he got from nowhere.

Say it all in his post-match interview that he broke down and went on to talk about how poor his preparation for the fight was.

 

He has a really really cool name.

Plus I was watching "Snatch" recently and apparently gypsies have some kind of super strength were they can knock out guys twice their size with one punch.

Now if I'm correct, that means Tyson Fury has the power of someone that's 14 feet tall and almost 600 pounds.

Pretty impressive if you ask me.
