Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: Let's See if Cunningham Can Take My Power!

this dude!!!

Great, that was over 4 years ago in Fury's 4th fight when he was 19 years old and had a total of 6 rounds under his belt.

Not Relevant.

If Fury were to beat USS impressively, that would be a pretty good statement.

Would it?

What does it say other than he beat an old, shaky chinned cruiserweight with little power?

I'm not saying Cunningham doesn't have skills but this fights a mismatch of epic proportions.

He's right about having to look good if he wins though.

A poor/shaky performance and the knives will be out.

Fury's also put himself under pressure, running around talking a lot of smack, calling himself the best boxer in the world, etc. It's tongue in cheek mostly, but still. If he doesn't deliver a good performance and convincingly defeats Steve, he could end up being the next hw laughing stock.

Well Cunningham is a former cruiserweight champion, and in all honestly he beat Adamek pretty handily, who most people classed as a top 5 guy at heavyweight.

It certainly wouldn't be a bad win

Well at least Tyson already took a punch from the heavyweight

How many times you've seen fighter punching himself?

I've always felt Adamek's HW run was rather overrated and hes clearly well on the slide. Its unofficial but a good win based on name value.

I still feel Cunningham's a top 5, top 10 worse case scenario cruiserweight. I'm a bit disappointed in Furys opposition at this stage tbh
I hope hes going to step it up soon

Wouldn't mind if he fought Thompson after but these old small HWs & cruiserweights have to stop, hes beyond that. Hes better than that.

There is vids of Pacquaio and Lennox Lewis doing it to themselves too, they both ended up doing ok for themselves, **** happens.

Were he older I would agree.

But he is only 24, very, very young for a super-heavyweight, and prior to the Rogan fight he had awful training and preperation, and was basically winning fights on size and toughness.

I don't want to have to bust out my Klitschko/Lewis comparrisons again but Fury is fighting better opposition for his age/experiance than they were and he's doing it WITHOUT a stellar amateur career like those guys had.

he's doing just fine.

Very true but I think the talking is a good thing, even if he pisses me off with some of it, it gets people talking.

Now he just has to continue to win and back up his talk.
