How far can Tyson Fury go??

[Master]

I think that Tyson can go all the way. He will get the conditioning after another 18 months of experience he can win a version of the title. Mark by word this is the new Tyson.

He has got to get in shape; for a 20 year old his conditioning is very ordinary.

18 months in the gym with hopefully at least another dozen fights on his resume, would be a solid base for Fury to go foward and find out how good he could be.

What I give him full credit for, is fighting every month. Although he needs to fight more than bodies, I would only slowly increase his class of opposition, as he has plenty of time on his side, and has no need to rush things.

The best fighters (particularly Heavyweights) learn to walk, before running!

i dont see him as becoming world class, i hope i am wrong

The one thing I don't get are the claims he has no power. He's knocked everyone out and so far has done it very impressivley. The thing with him improving his strength by putting on muscle is that it could be detrimental to his main attribute which is his hand speed. For me he knocks out all the current domestic level fighters in the early rounds, and agree that he's British champ within 9 months. I think he needs 2 or 3 more fights before starting to take on the other Brits, hopefully against some durable guys so he can get rounds under his belt.

I'm a big fan of this guy, as is probably evident from my posts in other threads. He's one of the few Brits of recent times that I'm genuinely excited about and think could go a long way.

I appreciate that but he hasn't actually KO'd them all, some were TKO's. Can't remember which fighters they were (one was 21-1 with the kilt - Zeller?)

Either way the Ref stopped it and two fighters I can remember were mega pissed off as they weren't in any real trouble. I remember thinking then maybe he didn't hit all that hard, they didn't think so.

That said I think he could do very well. Fast hands and he trys to do more than just throw bombs like so many other HW's. As already said he definitely needs to work on his conditioning, that can only improve him more.

Personally I'd be embarrassed wearing that michelin tyre in the ring...

[rowlesy]

I accept that about the TKO's, good point. The size he is means that for me he can't not hit hard, if you understand what I mean? And as you alluded to, I don't think his power will ever be his biggest weapon that will be his hand speed and the fact he likes to work the body more than alot of heavies around at the moment. Those three he threw at the weekend were beautiful.

And he's not that fat! He's flabby, but its easily toned up. Jesus, he's nothing compared to that slob Arreola! lol Got to remember he's only 20 as well, so its most proabably 'puppy fat' which he will drop with no problem.

Whoah! You called it!

A rare moment for master. Well done son

[TitoFan]

Wow... good find, Slim. Master does have something to gloat about.

I'll be honest... back then I would've been among the naysayers.

[Mark TKO]

Me too just thought a big useless lump with zero skills.

If I ever meet him I'll apologise about that

Ross was around and I think there were 3 of us who predicted he would beat Wlad. I can't remember who was the 3rd person it could have been parmerq. That was his best victory and opponent.
