Hopefully, someone else can fill that one in.Quote:

I doubt rushing him will be the problem. People will probably be crying for him to be stepped up this time next year.Quote:

I suppose soo mate,especially on the domestic scene of the british heavyweight ranking.I mean their's no one who could really threaten him in the uk ranings of the division and as he is that tall he should win quite comfortable!!
If you have a look at the front page today of Saddos, you'll see that Fury's next opponent has been named, and it's Marcel Zeller (21-3, 20KOs). Of course, being German it's got more padding than a La-z-boy and he's no doubt been enticed over with a decent cheque at short notice, but this is still a bit deep to throw Fury in. A 24-fight experienced fighter against a second fight novice? We'll certainly get to see a bit more of Fury this weekend than we did in his opening demolition of Bela Gyongyosi.
It was good to see Tyson fight last weekend against the brave German opponant.Mind you i would like to see tyson take a decent shot on the chin to see what he's really made out of.He showed some decent skills and some good patiants too by not going for the K.O earlier.Its always good to see a boxer take his time and pick his shots rather than rush in there knowing that the opponant is on his last legs.Mind you i was'nt sure what the cominator mentioned about Tyson Fury,saying that Tyson Fury was the next Foreman:-XCome on how do their work that one out.Far too soon!!Its good to see him being busy though and getting exposure in the pro game.For me i'd still like to see Tyson Fury losing a bit more weight around his mid section and gaining some more extra muscle on his arms!Thats just me though:rolleyes:
Yeah.. he looks like he needs to solid up. Not sure he'll ever look great considering his frame though.
His speed is really impressive for his size. Thought he was gonna punch himself out though. Good little fight with the German being a character and all.

Damn, I didn't realise he fought last weekend, does any one where I could find a link for the fight?
Quick search of youtube brought this up. Like so many of the guys with good chins who make a living as journeymen, Zeller feels he wasn't being hurt, but decent stoppage as he wasn't throwing back in my mind.Quote:

I think after 2 pro fights, he certainly looks well above average, got a few things to work on and I look forward to seeing more of him.
He has terrific handspeed for a fella that size
Cheers for the link, again I'm impressed by his hand speed. Very quick for a heavy and works the body well. Credit to Zeller, he took some heavy blows and kept on coming. He's getting in better shape but I don't think he'll ever look sculpted in the way that guys like Haye are. It'll be interesting to see how he reacts when he gets caught on the chin, if he can take it he will go far I think. Yet another Manchester boxer coming through, come on you Mancs! :D
My friend Larry 'Warmachine' Olubamiwo would have something to say about that...When these too come together we'll really see what Tyson's chin is made of...Personally, I don't think it will matter :)Quote:

Bronze medalist Price has turned over too, who beat Tyson Fury extremely comfortably in the amateurs.
You also have Tom Dallas and a bunch of other good heavyweights so don't count your chickens...
Fury was 17 and it was only his 9th fight.Quote:

Hopefully your man Larry and Fury keep winning. Be a good match in the not to distant future.. especially as the hype as already started ;)
Definitely Fenster :)Quote:

It's funny actually, when Larry read all that crap he was baffled. He called Frank straight away and asked whether there really was an offer put in by Team Fury.
Maloney confirmed it but obviously the fight makes zero sense right now. I'm not too sure what Hennessey is thinking. I think he knew it wouldn't happen yet and just wanted to cause a fuss about his new heavyweight (similar to what Arum did with Margarito - most feared etc).
Larry finds the headlines extremely amusing ('Fury makes Warmachine retreat' ;D ). I don't want to speak for him too much because the guy is extremely humble and doesn't want to get drawn into a slanging match. Just be safe in the knowledge that Larry is no way, shape or form afraid of Tyson Fury :)
It's a great time for the U.K heavyweight scene. It could potentially be the best we've had it for a long, long time if all of these top class amateurs develop well into the pro ranks. I'm really excited to see how things play out
