        I don't think his jab is very good.

        At 6'9, that should be his strongest punch. Still apparently he is only 20 years old so he has forever and a day to improve. The guy really shouldn't be stepping up to European level for about 3 years. His and his Dads mouth might be accelerating his career. There is potential there, he's got great handspeed for someone who is 6'9

          It's way to early to be asking these sort of questions.

            the guys not too bad. watched his last 3 fights, against weak opps mind you, but he's done the business. thinks it's time he stepped up the quality of opponent, if they can get anyone. think haye would eat him alive though.

            questions is, will anyone fight him??

              The guys had 3 fights, wait until he has at least 10 on the board. After that he should step up his opposition.

                When he steps up he will get exposed, has non exisitant head movement, when you rush him all he does is back up onto the ropes. A live fighter with a decent punch should take him out.

                Even that bum he fought the other day got him clean in the head.

                Another overrated guy talking ****, his dad is crazy.

                  I like the arrogance and total belief he is a prime fighter!

                  His father is the new hype master!

                    Didn't Hennessy say something about Fury's jab being as good as (or better than) Larry Holmes'?

                      Tyson Fury may one day be considered the most ironic prize-fighting name ever.
