    I've sparred smaller guys as well and you're right, they all say they hate sparring people my size because of the size disparity. One of my buddies is a middleweight and complains all the time when sparring me cause he says his shots would move and hurt a guy his size, meanwhile I just stand there.

    Would be awesome to fight or spar Fury since I haven't sparred somebody his size in awhile. The guys at the gym i've joined since moving here aren't big HWs. Prior to a month ago I lived in Europe just short of 8 years and I actually got better sparring in the UK then where I currently live.

    I like Fury and think he's ok, just would like to see him in there with Wlad or even Wilder to see how he stands up. I say Wilder because of the power, not the skill.
    To me, HW is one of the most interesting divisions because you aren't locked in by a max weight, so the variable of size and weight is one that HW's deal with that other divisions don't worry about in a way, to me that makes it interesting, Marciano like guys versus Ali like guys, and what not. In welter, or cruiser, you don't have such intersting matchups. I also think HW's deserve respect for this.

      I seem to be the opposite of most people here. I really liked Fury at the start of his career, he was funny and witty but now he is just vulgar, that charm is completely gone, he swears every 2 seconds, acts like a gangster...I can actually mark the point at which he changed, that whole beef with Price, it made him mental.

      The charm he had originally is all but gone, I like trash talkers who can be funny and intelligent, the likes of Naz, Ali and so on, not these ****** wanabes.

        I htink you also don't like Fury because you think he isn't as good as some of us think he is, and I hope he proves you wrong lol.

          I think Fury is a top 10 heavyweight, possibly just below Klit, Pulev, Pov and Stiverne. I've seen him train, spoken to him, watched all his fights, I know what he's all about. Now, do I believe he can beat Wlad? No. Can he win a title from someone like Stiverne/Wilder/Jennings? Yes.

              Well, I hope he proves you wrong, I think he can beat Wlad convincingly behind his jab.

              Also, now I am jealous you got to meet the legend Fury in person.

                yeah, it was back when he had some semblance of normality lol seemed ok tbh but in front of the camera he tries to come across as a thug and it's not working

                  He's great. I loved it when he completely owned Haye on Ringside.
