My assessment of Tyson Fury.
Up until today I had watched some highlights but the only Fury fight that I had actually watched was when he fought Chisora. I honestly don't remember much of that fight, I guess I lost interest when Chisora showed up impersonating a fat cow. And although I don't think much of Fury I thought I would be fair and watch his fights.
I watched three of Fury's fights on You Tube. For some reason I could not find the Kevin "No worries I am Only Here to Get Paid" Johnson fight. But that doesn't mater simply because he cannot be taken seriously as a fighter.
The fights that I did watch were Fury against Rogan, Firtha and Pajkic. After watching those fights I have to wonder how anyone can take Fury seriously.
Don't get me wrong because it is not like he is a complete bum. Because he does have a nice jab and seems to have fast hands for a big man. But, at times he was being dominated and left wondering around on ***** street by some god awful fighters. And the ref that stopped the Firtha fight must have had a bet in on that fight.
As far as the Cunningham fight is concerned. I will not go as far as to say that Steve will win. Simply because of the weight difference as well as lack of power and his age. However, I will say that I don't see him having any problem hitting Fury. Only because I am positive that he has more talent than Firtha, Rogan and Pajkic combined. He is also just as tall as two of them. And even at heavyweight Steve may have as much power as Pajkic and Fury's power is overrated.
I was also surprised to hear Al Bernstein, I guy I have always had mad respect for going all the way back to the early days of ESPN, talking so highly of Fury when he was getting rocked by a couple very C level fighters. I guess Al's Channel 5 contract possibly included an honesty clause or lack of it?
To say the least I was shocked I really was. As I have already said I am not sure what will happen on 4-20. But what I will say is that Haye or any other close to an elite heavyweight should have an easy days work with Fury. And until Fury's exploits in the ring actually catch up to what comes out of his mouth I believe that he shouldn't be taken so seriously.
