Thread: Tony Thompson vs. Tyson Fury

Who wins this fight? Thompson upset yet another fighter last weekend and called out Fury after the win. Can Thompson pull off the upset against Fury if Fury beats Chisora?

Prime Thompson I have no doubt would have made Fury look pretty stupid!!

Thompson is one of the best American HW's of recent times and one of Wladimir's better opponents.

He is maybe getting a bit old now to be doing in Tyson Fury though. Think I will side with the big lug on this one.

Previously, Thompson decision... Now days... Fury decision.

Tony Thompson makes Fury look silly

The Furious one isn't some chump like david price aka lennie smalls and he aint soft and unmotivated like solis. He just a totally different animal man. He is a different breed.

Joe blow thompspon is capable of upsetting certain fighterss but fury isn't one of them.

Thompson would look his age against someone like fury. No doubt about it.

Yeah Fury is not Price that's for sure. It's too big an ask.

Tyson is better than many give credit for.

Know what Not bad if it happened.

I like the fat bald chatty guy to win it..or a draw for the both of them

That would be a very good fight to see made, real pick em imo. Thompson would be far better than anyone Fury has fought, he might be to crafty and land some nice stuff on Fury, or could get mauled and look his age.

Thompson is far better than Chisora? Apples and oranges to me.

I think he's got way better skills, a few years ago he was probably a lot better imo. He is old and pretty slow now, but he may still be able to hit Fury more cleanly than Chisora for sure.

Tompson has almsot been lucky to have fought those last three opponents.

All were dopey. In fact the most vulnerable ine, Price was the only one to hurt Thompson and drop him.

Pulev and Solis are both lazy. Neither picked up the pace. Maybe they couldnt or were too scared to get caught?

Fury would make athompson work and may even stop him buy just bombarding him on the ropes while hes exhausted. He might even drop him. For as out of shape as Afury looked against Abell, every time he wanted to he hurt him. He looked nice and sharp and full of malice. Something you dont see with many heavies nowadays.

It would be an awkward fight for Fury purely because of the southpaw style but other than that Thompson has no speed and if pushed to work would just ohase out of the fight like he did against Pulev.

Hes just after another payday but with Cisora already luned up and the possibility of fighting for the vacant or even a title challenge I dont think Thompson is getting another sniff. Unless he can keep himself relevant with another keep busy win in the mean time.

Fury needs to keep himself relevant and Chisora is gifting him that opportunity. Fury has not progressed at all the guy is a loud mouthed joke. Chisora is way more accomplished, brave, rounded and tested. Fury is a lucky nobody in the division. He does not deserve the chance to fight for the British and European titles. Look at Chisoras opponents and how much more deserving he is and yet gobby Fury has the cheek to think he is the name. Did Fury get robbed against an equally large Helenius for the blue belt? Who has fury fought? Scott? No, Haye? No, would he have went the distance with Vitali? Tyson bottled it and avoided Price, still hasn't fought Thompson,Wilder the guy is a joke. The minute he fought for the Irish title and dissed his place of Birth and the Lonsdale belt he should have forfeited permanently his right to ever fight for it again. Chisora has no power but he is fearless, Fury often looks like Bambi caught in the headlights, even against Abel he look worried at points, let alone being put on his arse by smaller men and constantly fouling because he is terribly unskilled and has no form. Colossal twat. Thompson would stop him but Fury will avoid him.

I say Fury wins UD.

But I agree a prime Thompson likely stops him, but Pulev pressured him and got the win and I believe Fury would apply even more pressure than Pulev did.

Thompson did just beat a skilled Solis, but Fury won't sit and be the punch bag that Solis was.

Lots of different opinions here. Its a tough one for me too call. No doubt Fury would be the fav. He would of course have home advantage. Thompson isnt a big puncher that will fair well for Fury but at 6'5 Fury wont have as big a height advantage as he usually does and with his poor defense you would expect a taller man to be able to land easier. I think Id pick Fury to win a reasonable comfortable decision but may have a few scares along the way.

Fury would beat Thompson easy. Thompson's got no chance of making it the snails pace tempo he needs, he'd be under it from the off.
