Comments Thread For: Chisora Predicts First Round Knockout of Tyson Fury

[kafkod]

Not at all. I don't like nor dislike Fury. I dislike him being overrated hugely based on some non existent achievements. Only a few fighters on his resume are better than even Wilder's. And ok, he'd never been stopped...that's because he isn't a heavyweight and was fighting someone who is 6 ft 9 and far heavier. And the KO was in fact with an arguably illegal use of the elbow. I come to the conclusion he is pillow punching because he has like 12 kos from 30+ or whatever fights - you can't really dispute this fact?

Don't get me wrong - I would like new blood in the division. Maybe Fury could be a big part of it's future. But I dislike him being already rated as a wrecking machine off the back of god know's what impressive achievement(s), aside from a few solid wins v a green and fat Chisora, a non-punching turtle in Johnson and a small cruiserweight in Cunningham.

I've got nothing against the guy, I think his size and fighting style is good for viewers and the division, and I hope he can actually get some big fights to truly assess his performance and prospects. But RIGHT NOW, i am not sold on him - that's just my opinion though, we are all entitled to ours. I appreciate your response.

Cunningham is not a small cruiserweight! He's a small heavyweight, which is different altogether. He is also a very fast and cute boxer, as he proved vs Adamek, who was a solid top 10 fighter when Steve boxed rings around him and was robbed of the win. And Cunningham takes a great punch at heavyweight. Mansour is crude but has real power. He hit Cunningham flush on the chin with his best shots and Cunningham got up. Fury knocked him out cold with a single punch which only travelled maybe 12 inches. Yeah, he used his forearm to straighten Steve up first, but it was a clean punch that put him away.
But I'm not making Fury out to be some invincible wrecking machine. He is very much a work in progress. I rate him as a great prospect who is improving with every fight. And at only 25 - very young for a heavyweight, I think he will improve a lot over next 5 years.

Don't even know why Fury agreed to this fight. He's already beaten him. He should've moved on to bigger things. Maybe a fight with Wilder.

Fury would stop Wilder early.
