    It takes a lot to be a top heavyweight. You have to be skilled but you also have to be a little lucky as well. Tyson Fury isn't a guy I've followed very closely, but I can tell you he's been skilled &/or lucky enough to get where he is right now.

    People will always think "What if Fury fought _____?" because he's young, he's seen as still developing, he's "untested" according to some, but hey we as boxing fans do that with every fighter. We want to see how a fighter copes with adversity, different styles, etc.

    I think Fury is more talented than most give him credit for being. He does throw a lot of punches, I dont' think he's the finished product by any stretch of the immagination and heck he may never be, he has to keep growing and honing his game to get there. There's something not quite techincal about his skill that adds a bit of excitement to his fights, but that will be dangerous in the upper levels of heavyweight boxing where "one punch can end a fight". Tyson Fury has decent enough skill and great size so those two on their own should take him places in the division, but how does he fair vs a puncher? What happens when Fury NEEDS a late KO to win? Can Fury keep from gassing out vs durable opponents? These are the questions I have and I will have until he answers them.

    Will Fury ever hold a major title? It depends on various things: How long does Wlad stay in the division, who does he fight for the title, etc? Right now I would love to see Fury vs Stiverne because Bermane can punch and we need to see how Fury handles a true tested power puncher who can last 12. Heck I wouldn't mind seeing Fury vs Michael Grant because Grant can be durable vs lighter punchers.

    If the heavyweight contenders fought one another then that would be entertaining for the heavyweight division. However they will not as too much money is to be made avoiding one another and defending the title against poor opponents for them to risk the real challenges. This applies to Fury, and Price.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Potential @29, vs Fury @24 lol

    Look at Prices opponents, you are only as good as who you beat.

    Fury is well ahead in that category.

    Fury is running out of opponents who are willing to face him and will get a title shot before he is ready.

    I rate Price and want to see both fighters in the ring together.

    Fury is fighting much better opposition, Price is fighting journeyman fighters, I understand the clamor over Price but beating has-been british fighters does not make you a World champion.

    I respect Price, I just do not respect his fan boys.
    If Price is so good, why the hell is he fighting such dead-end fighters?

    When will Price fight quality opposition.
