Thread: Ty Fields vs Tyson Fury vs Mo Harris vs David Tua

These 4 guys seem to be drawing a campaign for a heavyweight title shot down the road.

Between them, who has the best chance of making it and why?

Sadly David Tua...he doesn't fight often but he still has big power and a solid chin. Fields is the new version of Butterbean, not in that he's fat its just he fights the same level of competition. Fury is well overrated and may be the British version of Fields. And I admit I don't know much about Harris

Not seen fields or harris

a completely shot one legged david tua would still be able to batter tyson fury, average would be generous to describe that pikey c*nt

Tua has a fight comning up in a few2 weeks will be his 3rd in 8 months....He was unable to fight for abt6 2 years because he was robbed by some of the people who were amanging him and was going through a legal battle but until it was resolved if Tua fought all he was going to do was line the pockets of the guys who were robbing him....

He actually looks faster then when he was younger and still hits like a train plus his chin is one of the nbest around especially better t56hen the 3 mentioned...even at 37 I go with Tua easy

Tyson Fury is not even near a shot at a world title, I would fancy Chisora and Sexton to do a number on him right now.

Field is a big big dude with a very good trainer in Jesse Reed but he didn't impressed me at all till now. Tyson Fury is a guy with limited talent but lot of charisma, hence why he's a bit more known than what he should, a kind of John Duddy HW version. I think Tua is still the one with the biggest chances among these 4 from what I've seen but I must admit I don't know much about Mo Harris so I can just go by what I've seen.

Tye got blasted out by Monte Barrett right before Monte made his ill fated trip to England....so that should tell you he's no damn good

I just looked up Maurice Harris....apparently he was in one of the better B.A.D. Heavyweight KO's of all time......and he was on the wrong end of it



I still rate Denis Boytsov as one of the better fighters at heavyweight, he reminds me of a young Wladimir Klitschko. In fact up until recently Boytsov had Fritz Sdunek as his trainer so he really did have Wlad's throwback 100% attention to attack style. Boytsov being smaller the fighting in a crouch would help him more....Wlad used to fight like that and he was still very good at it despite giving up height and reach advantages because of it. One thing Boytsov uses more than Wlad is the uppercut....he's pretty good, I think size will give him trouble but he's very good....better than all these guys

Yeah I know about Field, hence why I said that for a big guy with a very good trainer he hasn't impressed me at all. So Harris is the guy in the video? Sounds like a bum tournament the way I see it from here now.

Maurice Harris wasn't actually that bad at one point, after a poor start to his career. He started to get motivated and he had some good performances, he destroyed Jimmy Thunder. And he lost a controversial decision to a very old Larry Holmes, and he had that great battle vs Derrick Jefferson, which was one of the best Heavyweight fights of the 90s.

After that haven't really seen much of him, i think the last real fight of his i see was against Chris Byrd. I doubt he will do anything now, but for a short period he was a dangerous Heavyweight contender.

Pretty slim pickens right there. Tye Fields is better suited fighting under a circus big tent. Hey,nice size and good enough guy but seriously...come on,hes a gimmick in a starving division and the moment he faces anyone real...or a Barrett he's going to get peeled right open like a tin can,brutally! Tyson Fury,awesome name but limited at best with hopes of developing but dont see much coming. David Tua is one of the most disappointing stories in the heavyweight division in a loooong time Imo. The man had massive potential,an aura,TV friendly and a network star in the making but my god his promotion/management should be locked up for incompetence. Not to mention Tua has at times been his own worst enemy at the dinner table and has not always had fire in the belly. He's finding some footing at this late stage and I'm amazed he has not found his way back on a HBO or Showtime for Stateside exposure...not sure why in this division...Its wiiiide open with the brothers getting older. Mo Harris is a good story,always matched tough from the very beginning and I think his overall skills blow the previous three out of the water but he is long in the tooth and way out of his weight range fighting thick. Hope he gets a good shot but think his time has come and gone. Wow...Heavys are disappointing,enough to make a man a pure cynic

Slim pickings is an understatement. I would be over the moon to see David Tua absolutely ice Tyson Fury. Now that would be fun.

Richard Towers or big Larry Oluwembuuuuuu would batter all of them and I'm sure they will at some point on the way to British title shots.

Richard Towers, I just checked it out, is exactly the guy I thought he was. I've seen this guy live at a show in Manchester, trust me, he won't even get to the top of British level, no way no how. Even Fury could give him a hiding. Poor as....... Fell free to give me a public flogging in the future if i'm wrong.....
