Tyson Fury is...

The fear is almost tangible :lol1: Tyson Fury will get himself into a mandatory position to fight Wladimir Klitschko. I look forward to the reaction when Wladimir won't fight.

Fury wouldn't stand a chance vs alas but I'd say he is better than Ruiz, wilder, chisora and arreola.

It's sad that when he finally gets himself in a pretty good condition compared to previous fights, Haye has to pull out..

it was a flash knock down and its funny to see people dissing Fury Abel was Pulevs last opponant, so it's a good idea to see where Puelv and Fury are and thats about on the same level as far as competition Fury came off a long lay off and clearly out of shape, due to what happened with Haye and he did the bizness This talk of "top tier" HW, as Yoz puts it There is no Top tier, its Wlad, Haye, Pulev, Fury, Chisora, Arreola, Stiverne and possibly Wilder To say Fury cant hang is ridiculous, he's one of those guys who can go from a good performance to a bad performance and right now he's winning all his fights, nothing more can be asked of him There are people in here terrified and wish Fury never faces Wlad, so much so these same people who normally hate on David Haye are biggin Haye up Its hilarious Fury is a threat whoever you put him in against, share size, toughness and strength. Yes, what you said is hilarious; and it's funny that you actually believe that. Of course Wladimir is terrified of a wide open, technically limited fighter. What next, Wlad's ducking him? :lol1: :lol1:

He's always been pretty reckless in the ring, and i can't see him changing that anytime soon. I think he'll go down hard the first time he meets one of the better names in the division.

i think hughie is far more rounded, has legitimately won stuff off his own bat and is was loosely and more relaxed, maybe not so strong though i'm humble and honest about my abilities, i ain't gonna win bugger all though, ie it doesn't win you anything to have that attitude, although it is the correct attitude for joshua to have at this moment in time. best of luck to him, he has talent but he needs so much work and luck that i won't commit to a judgement on him for a year to 18 months yet. so far i think he's david price mk II... True, Hughie has had nothing handed to him. But in my eyes if any comparisons are to be made at this stage then they should be made with fighters at a similar stage in their careers and Hughie and Anthony are at similar stage coming up even though Hughie has had more experience in the pro ranks. I think those two fighting down the line to see which one advances is far more realistic than Anthony fighting the likes of Del Boy or Tyson.

Silly to judge him on a fight like this. He quite clearly couldn't be arsed for this fight and came in the heaviest he has in his career. Prior to this he was in the best shape of his life for Haye. Not saying he's good enough to beat Wlad but he most certainly is a threat to the main HW contenders. 100% this.

Well that's one advantages of having the Olympics in your back yard! :lol1: What's reassuring to me is that Anthony seems like a humble, level headed individual. If you listen to his interviews he clearly knows that he's by far not the finished article and acknowledges his mistakes and tries to work on new things during fights. I think it's that mentality that could make him successful but it's way too early to try and hype him up as someone who would give our current crop a beating. I think he'd do well against the likes of Hughie Fury because he's at a similar level but to say he beats up Tyson is still kind of premature in my eyes. i think hughie is far more rounded, has legitimately won stuff off his own bat and is was loosely and more relaxed, maybe not so strong though i'm humble and honest about my abilities, i ain't gonna win bugger all though, ie it doesn't win you anything to have that attitude, although it is the correct attitude for joshua to have at this moment in time. best of luck to him, he has talent but he needs so much work and luck that i won't commit to a judgement on him for a year to 18 months yet. so far i think he's david price mk II...

a lot of people underestimate Furys ability to fight on the inside usually big guys like him cant fight on the inside see Wlad Fury is has fast hands for his size, and he moves very quickly, even though he was way overweight tonight, he was moving pretty well. Next fight he'll come in better condition now that he's got rid of his ring rust a years lay off must of been unmotivating for him cant blame him if he went off the rails over Christmas.

a fair summary, but he wasn't able to legitimately win a bean in the olympics and has had a bunch of nobodies to knock over as a pro so far, so it is premature to say anything beyond what you said, that he looks promising. i agree he does, if he continues to learn well and has good coaching. he is far from being properly schooled so far, never mind the finished article, but i'll certainly keep an eye on the lad Well that's one advantages of having the Olympics in your back yard! :lol1: What's reassuring to me is that Anthony seems like a humble, level headed individual.

Joshua looks really promising but he's not been tested yet. Kind of reminds me of people were hyping Price up when he was on his way up. For all we know he could go over with the first decent shot to the chin. He has huge potential and looks to have the mental and physical aspect to his game sorted but it's way too early to make any solid conclusions. a fair summary, but he wasn't able to legitimately win a bean in the olympics and has had a bunch of nobodies to knock over as a pro so far, so it is premature to say anything beyond what you said, that he looks promising. i agree he does, if he continues to learn well and has good coaching. he is far from being properly schooled so far, never mind the finished article, but i'll certainly keep an eye on the lad

He didn't look that great in this one, he's had better days. He got that 2nd knockdown but damn he looked to be in a compromising position as it occurred. On the one hand, there are not that many HW fighters who are 6'9" and can throw punches while their feet are in a southpaw position while backing away; but he has to remember he is just a huge target no matter what tricks he tries to pull off, or what natural ability I or other ppl think he has. the bottom line with him is that I wouldn't ignore how fast he can turn it on and devolve the fight into a physical battle. he can fight inside which is also not that common at HW so anyone who fights him has to be ready for a grind. Chisora rematch will be awesome

people seriously claiming joshua would stand a chance? this kid who didn't win a fight in the olympics, had to buy a medal off ebay or some some sheet?! who you kidding? another big stiff idiot like david price Joshua looks really promising but he's not been tested yet.

Their feet got tangled (southpaw vs orthodox) he wasn't remotely hurt. But still it was ruled a knockdown. it was a flash knock down and its funny to see people dissing Fury Abel was Pulevs last opponant, so it's a good idea to see where Puelv and Fury are and thats about on the same level as far as competition Fury came off a long lay off and clearly out of shape, due to what happened with Haye and he did the bizness This talk of "top tier" HW, as Yoz puts it There is no Top tier, its Wlad, Haye, Pulev, Fury, Chisora, Arreola, Stiverne and possibly Wilder To say Fury cant hang is ridiculous, he's one of those guys who can go from a good performance to a bad performance and right now he's winning all his fights, nothing more can be asked of him There are people in here terrified and wish Fury never faces Wlad, so much so these same people who normally hate on David Haye are biggin Haye up Its hilarious Fury is a threat whoever you put him in against, share size, toughness and strength.

Everytime Fury fights he looks vulnerable but entertaining. Looking at his weight for this fight you can tell that he simply doesn't have the metal fortitude to succeed at the highest level but it's going to be damn fun following him on his journey. Plus like some of you have already pointed out, I don't think he'd come to fight in that shape against top class opposition but at the end of the day he looks like an accident just waiting to happen.

Yoz u wud say that ur a wlad and vitali stan fury can pose a threat to any top tier boxer and thats a fact, his share size, power and toughness is daunting for any boxer he put down abel 4 times last time i checked abel made pulev touch the canvas Their feet got tangled (southpaw vs orthodox) he wasn't remotely hurt. But still it was ruled a knockdown.

Cannot believe the shape he was in tonight.

If you're telling me Fury was taking that seriously before he was KD'd.... I'm not saying Fury SHOULDN'T have been taking it seriously... I'm not saying he'll do well. All I'm saying is, he clearly doesn't take the game seriously and clowns around, leaving himself open - and yes, this includes when he's fighting a blown up cruiser who he hasn't shown enough respect. Would he fight Wlad like he did Cunningham. What do YOU think? The funny thing is he probably would to start off before getting swiftly rocked and/or dropped by a jab and after realising what he's in with try in vain to box before being picked apart for a mid round stoppage.
