    The problem with getting Fury more exposure

    People are gonna be turned off watching Fury pitty pat his way to a 12 rd decision against competition who can't push him to the level Wilder pushed him. His dethroning of Klitschko was the most underwhelming, least violent, uninspiring heavyweight fight I've ever seen.

    Styles make fights. Wilder's style is perfect to bring out the best in Fury.

    Fury is over 250lbs and couldn't break an egg.

      I agree but I think that will be more a problem for wilder than it is for fury. The more exposure he gets the less interested people will be in seeing him which doesn’t bode well for a potential wilder fury rematch.

        Since Fury became a polished fighter, he has the style that unless he fights someone with a threat, it will be a dull, easy fight. But he'll fight Wilder again, and I'm convinced Joshua twice. Those aside, I still think Whyte, Ortiz, Miller, Pulev, Povetkin, maybe one or two more, would all make for good fights with Fury. For the record, I think Fury wins all of these fights. I do, however, totally disagree with those saying he has no power, he has some good power. And if he was ever down well in a fight going into the later rounds, he'd go balls to the wall and we'd see some real power in my opinion. He's just more of a boxer, tries to win rounds and dodge shots. Nothing wrong with that, but he needs the right opponents of course for entertaining fights.

            I appreciate Fury's skill level but he really does have sub par power.

            Vitali Klitschko was a heavyweight with good but not great power and he did far more damage with his shots than Fury does.

            Furys power is like Nikolai Valuev level, he can stop you if you are glass chinned and you don't want to take repeated flush shots but you don't have to worry about getting clipped here and there.

              If you know Fury like we do then you would appreciate him for who he is.

                Fury is levels above pretty much all HWs, and it's true that casuals will get bored of Tyson effortlessly outclassing the likes of Parker etc.

                The scary thing is, the Fury that Wilder faced off against was only at about 70%

                  Yey all these people that were saying good things about Tyson Fury are now saying bad things about Tyson Fury. What a ****ing surprise. You sad twats are awe struck by Wilders cringe worthy technique and are put off by Fury? You sure you are Boxing fans? Maybe you need to put the Boxing down and watch street fight KO vids on Youtube or UFC instead.

                    That's right because he's a twelve round fighter and the boxing public likes to see fun and excitement which is offense and watching the big boys hit and score knockouts. Fury doesn't do that because he is a defensive oriented fighter. It's simply not his style.
