Comments Thread For: Povetkin Says One Fury Down, Now Places Target on Tyson Fury

[Scopedog]

Hughie was really poor in that fight but Povetkin wasn't exactly on fire himself. He was clearly struggling with his stamina and was inaccurate with his punches - he was the more aggressive fighter but he wasn't especially effective with that aggression. I don't think he'd manage to touch Tyson and honestly I'm not really sure what good options there are for him at all at this stage.

Tyson will beat Povetkin easily.

Hughie is not where near the level of Tyson Fury.

The only time Fury would dare fight Povetkin is for a World title belt. Otherwise it's another bum for Fury. You only have to look at Fury's record to see that. Oustide of Wlad his best win is Chisora

I’m a big critic of Fury’s choice of opponents recently, but Povetkin would be easy for him. Tyson is way to big and clever to get caught out by Povetkin’s repetitive lunging hooks. He’d jab and feint him to death.

Well, if it is easy, than I expect him to fight at least Povetkin next, if not Wilder. Or Ortiz, Kownacki, Pulev, Ruiz. Otherwise, his cousin Hughie will soon have more respect, because he faces better competition.

Well Wilder is his best unofficial win, T.Fury is a habitual liar ,worse then Wilder though they are close.

I don't believe Fury would think much of Povetkin after the Hughie fight really though. Povetkin would be in better shape for Tyson but I don't think Fury has trouble there,he will probably struggle with Wallin more style wise bc of a long range southpaw who favors body punching.

Can’t disagree with you there - hope Tyson fights someone with a pulse next.

Watch Fury go for one of the phony WBA belts when they strip Manuel Charr or the other Don King guy for inactivity. Taking bets now he pulls out of Wilder rematch. Can make more $ fighting clowns and Fish Eyes won’t lose his meal ticket

A Draw? You are out of your freaking mind...
What rounds did you give Hughie? lol
And you are a Brit I assume?

I was about to say the same thing. Maybe GlassJoey has a vision problem. Or lost a big wager on the fight... and is now bitter.

Unofficial doesn't matter and whatever else happened in that fight Wilder only landed something like 12 less punches than Fury the whole night and scored 2 knockdowns. And it was away from home.

I hope he does struggle with Wallin. He deserves it from picking bums. I can't see Fury facing Povetkin outside a world title because Povetkin can punch and Hughie is awkward. It's hard to look good against him, no matter who you are.

Povetkin/Tyson Fury would be an excellent fight... but as others have said... doubtful Tyson would take that chance. Especially right before the Wilder rematch. POST Wilder rematch will be a very interesting time in Tyson's career. No matter which way the rematch goes. And I would imagine then we'll see fights like Povetkin, Joyce, Ortiz etc.
