Entertaining fight, much respect for Cunningham, he did what he could. The late Emanuel Stewart thought there should be a super heavyweight division because some of the smaller heavyweights just couldn't compete with the super huge guys, I agree with that 100%. Fury did excellent after going down, I was very impressed but I don't think he can hang with either Klitschko. Tyson wouldn't be able to bully them around the ring.

Is singing something we can expect after every Fury fight? Cause I think there's better marketing bits then singing.Comment

bit uncharitable that. We all know Fury gets caught up in his own mystique. The Pajkic KD made him concentrate (even though the stoppage was too early, it was still coming), and Cunningham had the same effect. Excitement isn't always declasse either.
I think Fury will always be weak to a leaping right hand from a short fighter. But those who are analysing his putative performances against the Klitschkos and Pulev (who don't seem to throw those sorts of punches) are a bit rabid.
Having said that, I do think Haye KOs Fury, very bad style matchup for Fury IMO.Comment

Steve is a good guy and a good fighter, but truth is he isn't all that. That being said, he needs a promoter who actually cares about him (if he still cares to box)!!! Kathy Duva gave waaay too much props to Adamek for his efforts, even though he was shut out during the blatant robbery/gift decision!!! Now to put a light heavy/cruiser in with a super heavy is just wrong.. That being said, I am really looking forward to a big man showdown with Fury and title holder (his size) because he is entertaining!!

After watching that fight do you all really believe that Fury is an elite heavyweight? I am surprised that no one is mentioning all the holding Fury was doing. He actually was holding Steve in a head lock and leaning on him while hitting hit. Fury was also definitely pushing Steve's head up with his forearm and hit him with a hook when he knocked him down.Comment

I don't think he's elite if you mean the K bros or even David Haye.After watching that fight do you all really believe that Fury is an elite heavyweight?

But that's the 0.1% of boxers. Fury can have a good career against the next tier, where I think he belongs (though must improve to be there, otherwise he'll be in the next tier down)Comment
