How far can Tyson Fury go?

[cjgloves]

He has a fight planned with John McDermott 11th september, how do think he will fair in this fight?

How far do you guys think he can go?

Alot of hype so far in his career. Is it just because we're desperate for a heavyweight champ?

[dan-b]

He has some ability but seems more intent on mouthing off and talking about how avoided he is. I honestly have no idea how far he'll go until I see him in with someone half decent.

[GazOC]

IHe'll beat mcDermott and could well get to fringe world class in a God awful division.

[dan-b]

McDermott is a fat slob.

Fury TKO inside 3 rounds.

Then I hope he fights A-Force, I can't see him getting past Audley to be honest, too much class.

Admittedly John isn't a good physical specimen but he will provide a better test than Fury has recieved thus far. If he stops McDermott in three rounds I'll be impressed.

[GazOC]

McDermott has good hands for a big lump when he lets them go.

[BURNLEYBLUE]

McDermott is a fat slob.

Fury TKO inside 3 rounds.

Audley would school his white gypsy ass:bbb

[cjgloves]

If Fury out boxes McDermott with good skills and knocks him out in a good performance and does better than Danny 'The Power Of The Black Seed' Williams did do you think they will be match up against each other? Who would you pick also?

[pne buz]

Nothing in the British ranks to frighten Tyson as far as im concerned!

[BremnerBomber]

If a 40+ Matt Skelton can fight for a World Title and capture a EBU tiltle

I'm sure Fury will get to a good level in the worst division in boxing

[Bigcat]

Tyson has to just stop talking and do his job in the ring and he may eventually become a somebody.. he has a decent foundation and you just never know..

[GazOC]

He needs to sort out that thing he does where he just tilts his head back and puts an arm out when he thinks may get hit.

[cupid]

In this weak division he can go on world level

[sam1222]

a bit too early to tell how far he can go right now,but i reckon mcdermott will beat him, so would danny williams, but i reckon fury could beat audley harrison.

[cupid]

He should get in gud shape thn i hope he will make some noise

[rooq]

i can see him being brit champ by this time next year and clearing out the domestic opp by the end of next year.

theres a big step up to european title level though

I know some people think your a troll but i still find you funny so I'll reserve my judgement!

1. He'll knock him out most likely. McDermott does not have a lot, his skills are reasonable but he's too afraid to use them. He fights timid, probably after what Skelton did to him and I could easily see the same happening here.

2. I'm not a huge beleiver he's a world class fighter in the making. I like his handspeed, his variety, his jab when he uses it. However, he stills looks awkward and unco-ordinated, he still has very little defence when a guy actually tries to hit him except leaning back. His power looks mundane. Question marks over whether he'll ever be in 12 round shape. Maybe he's a guy like Povetkin that looks horrible but is in shape, but it is at the least a question mark right now.

3. I think he can win the British title, perhaps as we speak. Wouldn't be surprised if he won a Euro strap either, but as it stands he'd struggle with the best fighters, and might never win a world title if the division improves.

He hasnt been doing himself any favours by calling out Mike Perez after he found out Perez was injured!

Perez wants a crack at Fury when hes back fighting later this year.

I doubt Hennessy will make the fight though...

[DGLASS JAW]

rumor has it ,that mark potter dropped Tyson fury in sparring...

[2manyusernames]

Is Tyson Fury the new Audley Harrison? Is he even that good?!

[TFFP]

rumor has it ,that mark potter dropped Tyson fury in sparring...
That's weird...Tyson seems to think its the other way round :lol:

[rowlesy]

Apparently his plans are English/Irish/British/Commonwealth/European/WBA in that order. How long you reckon that'll take? British by end of next year, then possibly Europe and World the year after? I honestly can't see much bothering him at domestic, if he sorts his defence out and works behind the jab he could go a very long way.

[slip&counter]

he should and will beat mcdermott

to early to tell how far he'll go, initially i liked what i saw with the view to him growing and improving however recently i've been having doubts about him, he has a lot of bad habits and just looks awful at times, his conditioning doesn't seem to be improving which is a real worry and if anything its getting worse, conditioning cannot be undermined and its an insight to a fighters mind for me, he will need all the ingredients put in for him to go far (perfect coach, matchmaking etc)

he has potential with a lot of things to iron out, we'll just have to wait and see

[BURNLEYBLUE]

He gives me the impression he would'nt handle a shot to well. Looks to concerned about whats coming back at him,which has been fuck all to date. Not a fan, but i think Chisora would give him plenty of problems.

Yep, he seems worried when he even THINKS a shot might be on its way and just either tilts or turns his head away as if he's of scared getting hit in the face.

[stuey]

I would be concerned about his defence,you can only rely on the lean back so much, even if you are 8 foot tall.

Also his power would seem to be ordinary at best.

On the plus side, he has pretty fast hands and lets em go in bunches...

[fatcity]

The greatest mystery to me is where in the hell do they pick Fury's opponents from?Is there a "tomato can" book of losers?Why do all his "opposition" seem to be 100 pounds overweight and bald?
Pathetic and he is fooling know one but himself.:dead

[kurt2006]

He will be laying tarmac in a year or two and Flint will tell us he saw him in Cardiff laying a new drive for his aunty Nina.

[El Cepillo]

All the way to the bottom of the pile.

[Ilesey]

No further than British title level - mark my words.

[HeavyT]

Too early to tell, but I think he'll probably just get to a similar level to Skelton or Danny Williams.

[williams7383]

if, and its a big if he is properly matched then he can get to world top10 maybe not champion, but a decent operator.

he needs rounds under his belt to prepare him for title fights, divs rolling over for him inside 3 rounds are not going to help him, he needs to be fighting durable opponents who will fire back my next 5 perfect fights for him would be McDermatologist ( he makes my skin crawl) Sam Sexton/Rogie winner, Sprott, Danny Williams, and lets say Sosnowski, if was to come through those 5 with 5 wins and 5 KOs Id be impressed.

[El Cepillo]

No further than British title level - mark my words.

Yep, I agree.

[Beeston Brawler]

I think people are being a bit harsh on his level of opposition to date.

Granted the last guy was awful..... but after seven fights he has faced a guy with a pulse.... more than Hatton, Calzaghe et al did.

[aaron1978]

I think he will go quite far as he has the attribute that only few heavyweights do and thats he can take a mighty shot. (see link below)

So after watching that i think tyson will go far and he is funny as fuck when interviewed. Good luck to him

[neil hibbert]

still makes me laugh when i see that vid, id like to see how tyson takes a shot 1st, but he does tend to flp a bit when someone actualy lets them go at him

[jc]

He may be McDermot, he may even win a British title. He will NOT be world class by any means.

Agree! I don't think his heart is in it half the time either, he came into his last fight the other week totally out of shape and openly admitted he hadn't been training properly - Barry McGuigan who was the pundit on ITV4 looked disgusted and didn't have too many nice words for Tyson at all.

I think he's got enough skill to win at British and maybe European level but as soon as people start landing shots back at him at world level I think it'll be curtains for Tyson. :hi:

[cjgloves]

He needs someone that will make him go the rounds. Conditioning may be an issue as he does look flabby round the mid section.

You think he has power? it's hard to tell because his fights so far the fighters clearly didn't like being hit at all. He's not knocking anyone out though so his power seems to be average maybe a bit more.

Really good speed though and tall.

[jc]

I dont buy his 'nobody will fight or spar with me' claim. Imsurprised there are not domestic heaviesd queing round the block for him..

[Utter1]

He needs proper training methods rather than novice coaches who are clearly not teaching him well.

The guy needs to get in touch with Hayemaker, go to Germany or the U.S.A where he can get a top quality nutritionist, boxing coach and strength coach.

Main goals for this year-

Improve form - I.e punch in straight lines, learn to move the head whilst punching.

Lower BF to around 10%

Get better quality sparring -

[David UK]

McDermott is terrible. Fury will beat him with ease. He could go far if he starts taking his training more seriously

[Ste Hawkins]

Fury won't make it past David Price, Audley, Chisora or even Sprott. He is so grossly over rated its breathtaking.

[Farmboxer]

He might become a world champion one day, but he needs lots of time and hard work.
