Boxing

[Lecter]

I think you misunderstood what I meant, I was actually giving him credit for having some boxing IQ - he uses his height, controls distance and moves well for someone his size. I just think he's an atrocious boxer. If he were in any other weight class, I doubt he'd be ranked in the top 10 by any major governing body. Wilder for example is someone who has complete disregard for the mechanics of boxing.

Fair play to him for beating Wlad, he won and it's done. But the state of Wlad that night was awful, he couldn't pull the trigger. The result was due to Klitschko being so off his game, rather than anything that Fury did. The fact that Wlad looked so awful and landed at the same percentage according to compubox stats says a lot. I think the fact that Wlad activated the rematch immediately despite looking so bad says a lot.

Other than that, who else has Fury fought? Fringe contenders, most of them being fairly mediocre. Perhaps his wins over Chisora and a deteriorating Cunningham are noteworthy. He was smart for Chisora 2 - but it was like watching paint dry. Cunningham dealt him a heavy knock down and was ahead on the scorecard. The stoppage was quite controversial as he was holding/leaning on him whilst punching and the ref probably should have separated them.

Fury has basically no power; he throws flicking, slapping 'punches' and not in a Calzaghe kind of a way. Why do you think Bellew is so eager to get in the ring with him? His style doesn't lend itself to exciting fights and perhaps it's just me but there's nothing appealing about his style. He talks **** outside of the ring and does his stupid batman stunts to get people on board, but his actual performances in the ring are uninspired. I can't recall an exciting fight he's been in.

And then that's just compiled by his general homophobic, racist, deluded, stupid and strange rants in the press or on social media.

You have Bellew and Price queuing up to fight Fury

Thats says a lot for me about his power or lack thereof

If he fought Price and couldnt knock him out it would say a lot

I think he'd see them both off, Price quite quickly.

Don't get me wrong, especially the last sentence, which in I bloody agree with, but and a big but, i did the fight in Dusseldorf for Klitschko and I'd probably agree that Klitschko thought he could turn up and knock him out, but in fairness Fury managed the fight and won by a distance. Like you said he does have boxing IQ, at a level beyond AJ, Wilder and Whyte which is why the next 12-18 months will be eventful.

Not sure. He's never been a big puncher

You don't need to be a big puncher to stop Price though.

[fidget]

I don't think you need to be a big puncher to stop Fury either.
I'd have a cheeky punt on Price by KO if I could get over 5-1

[Zapater]

Would most likely be a horrible fight, but I think it would be Price's best chance of beating a big name.

Looks like Wilder - Joshua is edging closer.

Possibly not, but I suspect he would weather the best Price could offer far better than Price could weather what Fury could dish out.


I am no fan of Fury as a man or as a boxer, but he is easily a few levels above Price in the ring.

Price's best chance of beating a big name would be to call 68 year old Larry Holmes out of retirement, and even then I would not be fully confident of Price getting the job done.

Him and Audley should fight each other for the deluded championship of the world.

EDIT: Did that fight take place? I think it actually might have. I can't quite remember.

It's a shame he's ****ed his legacy and will be remembered as a bit of a joke. He was a brilliant cruiserweight and I'll always remember his scrap with Mormeck.

Aye he was a very good crusierweight, not top tier but still pretty damn good at the weight.


As a heavy he was middle of the road in the ring , but had one hell of a hype machine pushing him.
