Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Feels Ready For Alexander Povetkin Clash

[joe strong]

Tyson Fury has refused to fight Mike Perez and says a bout with David Price can't happen because of T.V contracts. I think both guys would beat him. Perez is awaiting Irish citizenship and when that happens Fury will be forced to defend the Irish title against him. He will, of course, relinquish the belt rather than take the fight. I think you could fill a good sized pub
with the amount of Heavyweights that could K.O Tyson Fury. Robert Helenius is a hugely over rated heavyweight and perhaps Fury should pursue that fight. Either Klitschko would seriously hurt Fury and, I suspect, Povetkin would give him a helluva beating. His refusal to fight Perez puts him down as a bum in my books. Perez on the other hand, has gone stateside and is fighting his way to a title shot. He may not take a Klitschko but he would take Povetkin if the fight ever happens.

how is helenius overrated? he had a shoulder injury during the chisora fight but fought through it. he beat 3 former world champions before the chisora fight. so because of a less then stellar fight vs chisora he's overrated? lol! whatever!

I think he would because he'd be so confident of knocking Fury out.

Povetkin is a proven top heavyweight, he'd show up Fury for what he is.

yes he is a proven HW but one element has been missing on his resume. a fight vs a big puncher...we have no idea how his chin will actually hold up if hit by legit big puncher. rahman is old & past his best days but he can still punch. i'm hoping rahman at least tests that chin so we can see how it holds up.

At this stage, Rahman takes Fury.

I agree with your post though. I'd like to see Povetkin thrown in with a contender; but he's a protected fighter, so they'll be a few more bums yet.
