Tony Thompson vs. Tyson Fury

The consensus is that Fury beats Thompson. It's a good scrap for Fury though.

Fury's achilles heel is his chin. Thompson can punch a bit.

I'd watch it.

This would be a good learning curve fight for Fury and he should take it after he beat Chisora.

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.

The only things about Chisora that have changed are his body shape and his ability to absorb punishment. Those long fights taking shots against big men and good punchers in Fury, Helenius and Klitschko all came too early for him. Hes getting hurt in every fight now.

Furys right was looking good against Abell. He was taking it easy to get rounds and evry single time he upped the tempo down went Abell. When Peter Fury told him to get him out of there he did and it was easy. Abell had a few weeks to prepare for this fight unlike the few days he had against Pulev and he still couldnt last as long;) A big difference was Pulev was sharp and active and it was a showcase fight for him. Fury took it as a comeback fight after being fucked around twice along with thousands of others and actually getting so fucked off he felt like retiring and still did a better job than Pulev.

Fury looks sharp and remember the first fight? Chisoras weight is brought up a lot. Look at the first round when his fitness wouldnt have played much or a part. Fury hurt him a few times with nice left hooks and handled him easy, even taunting him (as he does;)).

This version of Chisora who gets hurt more often and doesn't have that weight to push Fury back any more will get stopped early by a much sharper Fury.

I'd have to pixk Fury, Thompson could out box Fury but I think he lacks the size (or at least physicality due to his age) and youth to get around the mauling and spoiling Fury would resort to if he was getting out boxed.

Probably would be similar to Cunningham, stands a better chance though... He's not a blown up cruiser.

I'd say Fury on points in an awkward fight.

This doesn't last 12 rnds
Fury TKO

I think Team Fury will take the fight at some point to measure Fury against Pulev. Thats one of the main reasons Joey Abell was chosen and it still rankles their team that they turned down a shot at Pulev to try and fight Haye.

I'm still wait and see with Tyson Fury. Let him fight someone who's worth a shit first.

Thompson in not what he used to be for sure. Easy fight for the big guys with any boxing skills.

Lol @ the thought of Thompson beating fury.. u guys remember when he fought Mo Harris? Joe blow thompson is a fuckin slow sluggish bum.. I dont care if he won by 3rd rd KO cuz he looked so sad in the process.

Fury beats his ass 120%.... dont even have to think about this one.
