His last 5 fights.
Martin Rogan - Tough Irish prizefighter winner - But started late in boxing and is far past his physical best.
Vinnie Maddalone - Experienced fighter with a good punch - nearly 40 and not in great shape when Fury fought him.
Kevin Johnson - Tough guy, one of few to go 12 with Vitali - Easy to hit, Fails everytime he steps up in class.
Steve Cunningham - Former CW world champion, great fighter - Nowhere near big enough and doesn't have a punch.
Joey Abel - Decent punch KO'd nealry every win he had - Gets knocked out every time he steps up in class.


See what I'm saying? They look good on paper but bad in practice.

His best win is Cunningham still and tbh if Steve had a bigger punch, that overhand right may have ended it. I also thought Fury won with an illegal punch but nobody really complained after Steve mentioned it in the ring after the fight.

the punch did look dodgy but it is boxing after all, you cant blame anyone for not picking up on it


Cunningham was there to lose as well


the rogan win looked impressive if you look at what rogan had done before, he had some solid performances under his belt and fury dealt with him easily, I think rogan had become an old man a few fighters before that tho and fury got him at the perfect time


im not saying rogan would ever have beaten him but the rogan from a couple of years earlier would have made a fight of it
