Tyson Fury vs. Joe Mesi (Prime)

[Hulk]

Never thought too much of Mesi, but I figure he would have destroyed Fury. Much better boxer and technique. I just do not see what all the fuss is about Fury as he throws terrible arm punches. Has some guts and a cool name, and obviously some stamina to go 12 rounds, but in a battle of white heavyweight fighters I believe Mesi would have KO'd him early.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Joe Pesci? You think that's funny?

[p4pking]

Yeah for sure.. Mesi was a decent heavyweight for a while, pretty compact puncher with some skills. Your post kind of makes it out to sound like it'd be hard to think of a white Heavyweight that could have beaten Tyson Fury I guess if you really limit it to white heavyweights coming up in the Western world it's not a long list in recent times though.

There are a good number of white heavyweights in recent years that would KO Fury, Andrew Golota and Tommy Morrison instantly spring to mind.

But, white heavyweights are a class all their own, or at least were until the Klitschkos began dominating the heavyweight scene. But they are Russian and from the East.

I feel that Fury gets a lot of press because of his skin color and name. If he were a black man then people wouldn't look twice at him when compared to the rest of the British heavys.

Pierre coetzer would have mopped the floor with Fury

I'd make Ken lakusta even money lol

I'm surprised more people haven't commented on this thread.

The UK seems to be a buzz about Tyson Fury and very fascinated with him.

And I just don't see the talent. He has very little.

I say Ty Fields is even money.

Hold on. Tall, goofy looking. Throws a bunch of arm punches. Will never be champion and just plain sucks. What a whore Mrs. Fury was. She obviously stepped out on Mr. Fury. Ty Fields is obviously Tyson's real dad. She even gave him a similar name.

[El Kabong]

I wasn't a Joe Mesi fan per say, but I appreciated his attitude in and out of the ring. I figured he could have beaten Valuev. Mesi was overrated in skill, but his power was pretty decent. I think his worst attribute was his stamina. Its a shame his career got cut short.

Tyson Fury is a goober, he's not all that skilled he's just big. Michael Grant might beat him today! I've heard they are looking at Deontay Wilder for their next fight...that could be a short night for Tyson.

[Rantcatrat]

Travis Kaufman would beat Tyson Fury. There I said it.

[Fenster]

I reckon you all underate Fury.

Yeah he's just a big lump, throws arm punches, hasn't got a clue how to use his size, but he's got heart and a bloody good chin by the looks of it.

Give him a couple of more learning fights and he may be a semi-decent opponent for Wlad. Imagine a huge guy like Fury with height, weight, reach and heart advantages over Wlad.

Wlad has never faced a bigger man than himself. Fury is young and cocky. He intimidates Wlad. He takes Wlad's righthand. Wlad starts getting bullied. Fury's arm punches start clipping Wlad's chin. The pikey hits the jackpot!!! Fact.

I'll proudly bring this thread back when it happens.

All sounds like very wishful thinking mate.

You mean like Wlad vs McCline, Thompson, et al? You make sure you bring this thread back after Wlad fights Fury pal

[Tam Seddon]

No way ever wlad would beat fury, he's just technically not there and he would lose a decision. However fury would give it a go and it would be an entertaining fight, he would give a better account of himself than Haye would. Fury needs to stay away from wlad for at least the next 2 years, fury isn't developed no where near enough. Definatley has potential though, he is a good character and I enjoy watching him.

[Tam Seddon]

I do hope they fight one day though
