    Tyson has everything going for him. He can fight, has name recognition, age on his side, the looks and ITV.

    All the necessary ingredients to lead the sport in this country over the next decade

    But then Bruno was likeable.


    Although I don't mind Tyson Fury, as long as he backs up what he is saying.

    No chance Bruno was too nice of a guy. Fury started off like that but quickly fell into my **** list.

    I doubt it, as boxing doesn't get the exposure it did in Brunos day, but I think he and Tony Jefferies have the best chance out of this upcoming generation to make it as big attractions, they both seem to have a bit of unique-ness about them that could see them catch on.

    not a chance, unless you mean in physical stature.
    very few british boxers will ever become as popular as bruno was.

    Fury doesnt strike me as the most likeable or charismatic guy. Still hasnt proved anything in a boxing ring either. If two years down the line he and the big scouser from the olympic have managed to build a rivalry that catches the public imagination id expect Price to be the more popular fighter.

    Of all the up and coming heavyweights I like Olumabiwo(sp?) the best, he seems really down to earth and his last KO was awesome, the same can be said of Price

    That's not very nice, is it?

    Please get it into your head Flint, I am not actually Homer Simpson. I just use his image as an avatar.
