Tyson Fury wants to fight the UFC Heavyweight champion?

[Beanflicker]

Fury had his first amateur fight in 2005 (I think). He fought Price in 2006 but only had around 10 fights.

Ah, don't know much about Fury like I said.

Even still, Cain trains striking for MMA, which is kickboxing and strikes to help close distance and set up takedowns. Fury has been training nothing but boxing for boxing. So I think it would be very far fetched to believe Cain would have anything other than a puncher's chance against Fury.

For clarification, this is what I was implying. Cain has a pretty decent punch power, and I don't think Fury has the best chin. So like I said, if they boxed, I genuinely wouldn't be stunned if Cain stopped him. More my low opinion of Fury than anything else.

I really don't know enough about Fury to make a judgement. Cain hits like a truck though, his punch was measured on Sport Science as having 2230lbs of force or around there. All it takes is one on the button.

I thought it was disrespectful of JDS to say he could KO a Klitschko, but even he wasn't hurling insults at them.

It's an insult in itself to say that, moreso than Fury being the twit he is to get some attention. To suggest he would even have a prayer of getting out of the first round of a boxing match with either Klitschko is assinine. It would be like Tyson Fury saying he'd slam Cain to the ground and choke him out, no different at all in fact.

Bit different. JDS trains boxing extensively. Fury has no grappling skills whatsoever as far as I know.

So Fury is a boxer that is shit and only a contender, whereas "JDS" is an mma champ who trains boxing "extensively" so that makes an even fight, lets get it on!

Maybe, but not much. Grappling is a far more organic thing than boxing, you can bet Fury would be able to handle most people who didn't train seriously on the ground, just on account of being huge and bullish. The skillset required is FAR easier to hone and a lot, if not most of it, boils down to genetics. Wheras JDS may train in boxing, but he's never had a pro fight, or dedicated a whole training camp to just dealing with punches. I'd imagine he's never sparred a relevant HW boxer etc. Klitschko has been doing that for his entire life and it the best big man in the world at it. It's absolutely ridiculous for Dos Santos to have said that.

Love the way the UFC throw cheap shots at boxing all the time "that's higher then any boxer we've tested"
