    He can say whatever he wants, but that thing is feeble. Hell, even Calderon seems to establish more authority with his jab. Just see it yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkV_yrGaGbg

      Saw his 3 fights on the nights...and, I agree, the jab looks anaemic. Thought the disparity between his promoter's hype and reality was funny.

      I like when he starts 'swashbuckling' around 3:00 on that video...the Errol Flynn **** must be going to his head.

        Yeah here it is.........

        "He could be winning domestic honours within six months and be a world champion within four years. He is the best heavyweight I have seen since Lennox Lewis – and he is still only 20."

        Hennessy added: "He has a brilliant jab which reminds me of Larry Holmes, and is very athletic, like the old heavyweights used to be. He also throws punches in bunches, brilliant combinations, and he has a great chin. He could be an absolute sensation."

          he's a overhyped clown that has more dancing moves than boxing moves.when he's had 20 fights & beaten the Robert Davis',zuri lawrences',Friday ahananya's of the division I'll talk about him as a real prospect.beat the top 30-40 guys first then I'll accept him.quit trashtalking & dancing to the ring and just work hard & have some respect for the sport.he should fight tye fields or julius long soon

              Even a prime Holmes could be lazy with his jab, but it was an awesomely effective tool when he used it correctly. Fury's left jab just looks weak.

              How'd you blow the youtubes up like that?

                  I am not impressed by Tyson fury - he carries his reputation around his waist just look at him.

                  I look forwards to making some big cash when the right opponent comes along & exposes him as a huge underdog
