fury v cunningham

[beenKOed]

can anyone see an upset?

cunningham is vastly experienced at world title level

and fury isnt

ive seen this type of step up and slip up lots of times

is it worth a punt?

Fury has to take the fight to Cunningham if he wants to win. He most definitely has to show USS his power right away.
Fury is a white heavyweight from the UK who will be seen as protected and will be taken lightly, so he has to take it to Cunningham.
Cunningham is a decent boxer and fights well moving backwards. I haven't seen much of Fury.
Fury has my vote already, he's stepping up, moving out of his comfort zone and trying to give the fans what they want, fights that mean something.
You should be proud of Fury, I'd take one Fury over five Wilders. Good luck to Fury and Cunningham, may the best fighter win.
YOU HAVE A MAN ON YOUR HANDS!

Fury will win the only big issue is fighting in the US which I think he will cope with and may actually improve his performance. I like Cunningham but do not think he is big enough physically to handle Tyson.

Cunningham doesn't have the punching power to trouble Fury

Maybe Fury could help out with an uppercut or two

I'm almost 100% certain that Cunningham is a better boxer than anyone Fury has face before. He'll be in great shape, which none of Fury's opponents have been really. He'll more than likely let punches go in a calculated and skillful manner, unlike almost ALL of Fury's previous opponents. I think Cunningham will beat Fury, by UD.

Lets have a quick look back at Fury's recent opponents.

Kevin Johnson
Vinny Maddalone
Martin Rogan
Neven Pajkic
Nicolai Firtha
Derek Chisora
Marcelo Nascimento

Chisora is the best of them all IMO and was WAY out of shape against Fury. The rest are absolutely NO WHERE NEAR WORLD LEVEL. To go from these opponents, to then fighting in Madison Square Garden, although only against Cunningham, is a big step up. Fury is getting DECKED sooner or later, doubtful by Cunningham. For a guy that gets on the back foot against someone like Johnson who isn't even letting punches go, god knows what he'll do when faced with a seriuos challenge. Probably be jumping the top rope. I actually hope he beats Cunningham and we see one of the Klits absolutely smash the dude in to next week. Failing that, seeing him in with Tony Thompson and getting floored would almost be as much fun.

i agree with your points on furys opponents and the fact that cunningham is miles above anything he has faced despite being in a lower weight class

this is why i raise the point of a potential upset in the first place

you do seem like a hater tho so perhaps your passion for an upset is clouding your judgement

Definitely not a hater, so lets put that one to bed straight away sir........

just a few points you made pointed that way

[Violent Demise]

Cunningham is right. Fury only wins fights cuz he's big. Shrink him to 6'1 or 6'2 and he's garbage

[Galaxy]

Not sure how you go about shrinking someone

But Cunningham is by far the most difficult opponent Fury has faced

I'd love to see Fury get schooled

[Galaxy]

F*ck I would love for Cunningham to KO that prat Fury, don't see it happening but I'd settle for a UD

What a f*ckin annoying voice!

Props to Nazim for shutting that fool down "More people probably recognise me than you & I don't even fight"

absolutely true, hes a decent boxer with decent power but his size is by far his best weopon

but you could say similar about most fighters

wlad is only long standing hw champ coz of his size

mayweather is only lb4lb coz of his speed

i only pull lots of women coz im good looking

But he is big, so I don't see the point. If Floyd wasn't so fast, he wouldn't be undefeated. You could hypothetically take any fighter's main tools away and it could change the outcome of a fight.

For the record, he wins fights because his opposition isn't up to scratch. Even at 6'7", I think he's nothing special. He'll get shown up as soon as he fights a puncher.
