Comments Thread For: Photos: Fury With Huge Weight Edge on Cunningham

[Ravens Fan]

Not necessarily! Fury is very slow and very un-coordinated. Cunningham could take a page from Guillermo Rigondeaux and just rely on his speed, superior boxing skills and athleticism to box Fury's ears off for 12 rounds.

Personally, I feel if Cunningham gets Fury past 8 rounds, the big man will tire down significantly and be ready to go by the 10th or 11th round. I've seen nothing from Fury that is impressive other than his mouth and self promotion tactics.

If Cunningham fights smart, Cunningham by decision or late stoppage.

One thing that you didn't mention is the fact that Fury's power is overrated. What I will also say is that Fury may be the biggest and heaviest fighter that Steve has faced but he most certainly isn't the best.

Fury doesn't look that much tall then Cunningham, Steve looks in great shape I got him winning by decision of late KO.

Now that tyson is looking like a champ it shouldn't be too long till he gets his world title... Tyson by stoppage within four.

Nice to see Tyson looking a bit more athletic these days, shows for all his talk he really is taking his career seriously and putting the work in.

Who is overrating his power?

To be "overrated" someone has to be doing the "overrating"

I've never seen anyone calling him a ko artist?

For a such a big guy his power is average, at best. Anybody knows why Peter won't be in his corner?

Kevin Johnson said he hit harder than Vitali. And he's taken actual punches in the face from both of them so i'll listen to him over anyone posting online.

Peter was denied entrance due to criminal charges years ago.

So? Everybody know Vitali has never been some one punch kind of fighter,especially after his comeback from retirement. Chisora btw said that they both hit similiar. But after 20 fights Fury has already lower KO ratio than Vitali.

yup, I think they hit about the same hardness, it's not bad and can break down almost anyone if they box the right way

in Vitali's 20th fight he was fighting Ricardo Kennedy, Fury is fighting steve cunningham, Vitali's first 25 fights were gimme ko's so i don't read too much into it, Fury has fought much better competition at the same stage of his career.

In summary, his power is ok, not great but not bad either.

That's true but today Vit is 45 (41KO) with 87.23%. Not bad, if he'll KO two more guys he'll retire with highest KO ratio of all time. Wladimir, Haye and (maybe) Price, in that order, those are 3 hardest punchers in the world right now
