How good is Tyson Fury?

[Tam Seddon]

Please explain what being 24 and learning has got to do with the fact he has no power at top level he is an arm puncher ,he has been down against a small ,light punching D level fighter.

A young Bruno or Gary Mason would have put him away in a round , id actually love to see him get a fight with one of the brothers grim , as id love him to get his mouth shut once and for all.

To sum up he is a circus act , sure he is British level , but in the HW division you need power and he doesnt have it , he has reached his level , thats why now they are carefully matching him .

well im pretty sure Boystov has pulled out of a fury fight saying he wouldnt be in shape? Thats a bad excuse, I think your stupid if you think hes reached his level and you will see it time that fury has the tools to do well at heavyweight. I think whoever he fights next will show that hes ready to take on the better heavyweights in 2013.

Well, I must be stupid then.

Fury lacks power, which is critical for a heavyweight unless you have speed and excellent technique, which he doesn't.
His punch resistance is decent, but not good enough when you consider fighters are going to walk through his punches to get theirs off.
Maybe he will win a belt in the pisspoor heavyweight division post Klitchsko, but in spite of people carping on about his age and lack of experience you need to look at past heavies. Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe, Wlad, Ali, Frazier, and Foreman who were all world champions at around his age. Even late developers like Lewis and Holmes looked sensational at Fury's age.
Put it another way, what decent heavies have looked so limited in their first four or five years as a pro?

I dont think its a piss poor division, I personally enjoy heavyweight boxing and think when both the Klitshckos go the division will get more competitive. There arent as many stand out names like the ones you have mentioned, but I look at the current crop of heavyweights that are around, match them all of them up and I think there are some decent fights to be seen.
