Tyson Fury fighting again this weekend!

[The "Ring" Master]

For me Fury is a hype job , he doesn't possess any kind of power to take him to the very top , were he seems to think he is going.

i agree mate, fury is all mouth and at the moment and he believes he is the best british heavyweight around, well if thats the case let him fight our top boys even Williams or sprott would be good for his press, i think he should fight Harrison lol, the problem with him is he's a gypsie wannabe his family are a traveller breed but he's not really a gypsie he talks shit lol, not saying i have a problem with travellers my family are from a long list of romanie's (real gypsie lie Bartley Gorman) but he needs to stop talking bull and get on with some real oponents that will use his abilities to try and catch a win, also i think his dream of world title are far out of reach, put him in a ring with world rank fighters like Povetkin, klitchsko or even the Tua man and he'll fold, even fighters like Sanders or even Barrett would push him too, i think he could win a european title cause the EU champ is a joker!

He's what, 19? And you're saying that he would get sparked by world class fighters? No shit Sherlock! lol He's still growing physically, so of course he's not got the power that the Klits have. I would love to see him and Price get it on, with all the shit that has been said by the two it woulkd be a firecracker of a fight! Not that it'll ever happen if Hennesey has his way.

If Hennessy is looking to keep moving him up in class, and assuming he continues to prove himself over the next three months or so, I'd like to see him make a match with Francesco Pianeta, the European Union title holder who I think would be a smart bit of matchmaking, although he's not ventured from Germany too often.

I think Pianeta is dependent on power, and is very open to being outworked over the rounds, though Fury would need a few 8 or 10 rounders I think to get the stamina right. Pianeta was lucky to scrape it against Sosnowski, and I think Fury would outwork him early on, and we'd see how good his chin is later on.

Otherwise, I'm sure there'll be an Inter-Continental title or Youth title or something of that nature out there for him.

I actually thought that Pianeta lost that fight, I think he was saved by Sosnowski running out of steam in the last three or so rounds.

He's up against Matthew Ellis on Saturday, the guy that Maccarenelli sparked in not much time. Should be a good gauge of where he's at in his development.

Well Tyson knocked ellis out in 50 seconds

Yeah, I've just seen it after taping it. What was Ellis doing? He just walked straight into his jabs, if he was hoping that Tyson couldn't fight off his back foot, how wrong can you be?!?!

Couldn't really learn anything off that fight, except he seems to be getting quicker as he gets in better shape but could still do with toning up and maybe losing another half a stone or so. And there can't really be any doubt that he does pack a punch. And thankfully his shorts stayed up this time! lol

[Dark Lord Al]

Matthew Ellis was always going to lose ,but come on , he didnt even throw a single punch in the fight !!
Ellis is a disgrace ,
im still not sold on Fury , but i like the fact he fights every month.

I would hope Fury went for a training camp pre Ellis, and still had to go though all the build up preparing for the fight, etc. So even though it went less than a minute, Fury is still learning, even from fights like this.

Remember Lennox Lewis fought Noel Quarless (in his seventh bout) a white British Heavyweight, with seemingly some potential a few years prior (to fighting Lewis), and Lewis blew him away. Nine months later Lenny the Lion was European Champ.

Now I am not saying Fury is the next Lewis, but if it turns out he is half as good, he is going to be world class in the current market.

I agree with the weight issue though, I think Fury could do with losing 20lbs myself.

[Britkid]

I like the fact he is fighting every month, that will do him no harm.

Clearly he has an awful lot to learn, as amateur boxing is more than ever further away from pro game.

He could do with either losing 20lbs, or toning up, hopefully Ellis has got enough in him to give Fury another four rounds or so.

It is far too early to make a judgement on him, other than to say, so far, so good and that he, if nothing else, punches harder than the old man ever did!

Five years later and it still too soon to make a sound judgement on him...
