Steve Cunningham sparring with Tyson Fury for Haye fight.
Tyson has a good few names in terms of sparring for Haye, none of them nearly as quick as Haye but still good training for him.

Much respect to Cunningham, helping a guy that controversially knocked him out in his last fight.

It was inevitable, but Fury more or less set it up with a straight arm pushing Cunninghams head down against the ropes, which is illegal. He would've stopped him anyways at that point but probably not with a clean punch because he's Tyson Fury.

Fury will respect Steve in the morning after battering him properly and showing his victory over him was not a fluke.

I'd bet money Cunningham drops him in sparring.

If it does then Fury would be acting foolishly again. I think Fury will not be so reckless this time against Steve or David.

Because when Fury couldn't catch the old man cleanly, he used his forearm to obstruct Cunningham's vision and push his chin up and away from behind his guard.

He's younger than Wlad, Harrison, Ruiz, Valuev, Barrett and Bonin;)
Re: Steve Cunningham sparring with Tyson Fury for Haye fight.
With the exception of Wlad, all of those guys are either passed their best... or RETIRED!...

You ready for the sig bet Ross?
I'll have you a good one for when Haye destroys Fury.
Re: Steve Cunningham sparring with Tyson Fury for Haye fight.
Lol poor Ross. To actually have anything vested in Tyson Fury winning this is quite sad. Haye is going to either knock him out cold or stop him comically, I don't think any other outcome is more than wishful. Fury can't actually fight worth a damn.

I can give Fury his due, he has great advantages naturally, height, reach, etc.
And if he used those advantages like he did against Kevin Johnson, he could make quite a long, and good career for himself.
However they seem to be neglecting those advantages in training instead of helping them flourish.
Haye is experienced fighting guys bigger than him and unless Fury changes...... everything about his style, he's gonna be knocked out flat.

Right, but his advantage is basically just stature more than physical. Haye is faster and more powerful than him, not to mention much smarter and more dynamic etc etc. Having been in with Wlad will be immensely helpful for Haye as well. As much as people want to criticize him for that fight, if he just approaches this one the same way, HUGE openings will present themselves. Kevin Johnson makes Hayes performance against Wlad look like Arturo Gatti stuff as well, I have a hard time chalking that up to anything impressive from Fury.
