Tyson didn't just get caught, he was being made to look like a clown from someone 45lbs lighter than him. A completely different thing.

Steve Cunningham a very good fighter. 6ft 3 back in Ali day would be considered a big heavyweight.

That's totally irrelevant, 100 years I'd be one of the biggest men around does that mean that I could box Wladimir and it still be a fair contest.

I thought from round 3 onwards Tyson Fury schooled Cunningham. My critercism of fury is that he tried to do a carl froch, and made the fight to hard for him to entertain the crowd on his US debut.

Don't get mixed up with "schooled" and finally managing to use his 45lbs weight advantage and just club Cunningham pretty much aimlessly until he couldn't take it any more.

Anyway cut the guy some slack, hes not perfect but hes bloomin entertaining.

No-one is saying he's not entertaining. They are just saying he's a bit crap, which he is.

Tyson is flawed, and hes work in progress, but hes beaten chisora, kevin Johnson, and now Cunningham.

I agree. Fury showed balls to get up and win after being hurt. Of course he's limited and wouldn't have a chance against Hayes or the Klits, but outside of that he's the best HW going.

At heart he's a fighter and an entertainer, not a boxer. That will always be his problem. Still, I don't want him to change.

I would consider any bout in which Fury doesn't punch himself in the face a victory for him. Kind of like in the special Olympics when that little guy finally crosses the finish line without tripping. No matter what the cards may read in the end or what canvas he may pick himself up off of once he fights a guy with a real pulse, Fury is a champion in the making. :P

You must be a relative of Fury or something............ Rockin'

Everyone knew Cunningham was quicker and sharper than Fury, and that he'd look good early like always. What's the issue?

That's totally irrelevant, 100 years I'd be one of the biggest men around does that mean that I could box Wladimir and it still be a fair contest.

Would Haye vs Fury be a fair contest?

Yes

Why not Cunningham then?

Because he wasn't too small, he just wasn't good enough.

Don't get mixed up with "schooled" and finally managing to use his 45lbs weight advantage and just club Cunningham pretty much aimlessly until he couldn't take it any more.

He used his size and MOBILITY to muscle inside on cunningham and take him out

again, what's the problem?

No-one is saying he's not entertaining. They are just saying he's a bit crap, which he is.

If he's crap, what does that make Chisora, Johnson and Cunningham

and the guys that lost to them

Huck, Adamek, Helenius etc???

good points.

id also like to add his fight against kevin Johnson was class. So hes got a lot of skill him him. The first 3 rounds was a learning curve for him. Hes only 24, hes finally now actually taking boxing seriously. Plus he fought southpaw against kevin johndon, the dude is actually very taleted. And like all travellers he can take a punch, snatch style.

Kevin, Johnson, chisora and Cunningham are all b level plus fighters nd are not bums.

Im a big fan of david price, but science says at the moment that FURY is ahead of him at the moment.THAT IS FACTS.

Yup, there was a big difference with the lack of Peter Fury in tonight's fight, Pete is the guy who grounds Fury and keeps him to the gameplan, without him he reverted to how he used to fight.

At the end of round 1, he would have gotten a telling to from Pete "Stop playing around in there and listen to me, stay focused, get behind your jab and don't let this guy dictate the pace"

something like that, and Tyson listens to Pete, who kept him on a short reign against Johnson (who imo is at least as good at H/W as Cunningham) and made sure the fight went exactly according to plan.

But yeah he got by without him, but next time he wont be so wreckless.

Never thought that much of Fury to begin with but last night was a re-assurance that his time is near.

I cannot believe he got dropped, again, by an overhand right from Steve Cunningham. He didn't utilise his physical attributes and was made to look like a lumbering oaf at times.

I've said all along that his size is a facade and once he fights a competent boxer, he'll lose. People can mention Peter Fury, but he doesn't get in the ring with Tyson and fight. Thinking about it too, will Uncle Peter ever be allowed in the USA?

If not, every big fight Tyson has is without his carer...

Last night was a case of Fury becoming irritated by Cunningham's movement and angles, being outjabbed by a midget etc and deciding to just march him down. I don't think anyone expected any less than a Fury stoppage but I know a lot of people will be surprised by Fury's performance and I ask why?

Earl, you're going down the path of becoming deluded. Look what happened to the Pinoys... that could be you next.

Im very impressed with Tyson Fury..
