What do you think of Parker?

I forgot about him...I think he is not as a natural talent as the others I mentioned other than Morrison...Parker has potential ,unfortunately for him Joshua is there,he is more compact and I think hes better balanced ,Parker has defensive holes and not as balanced on the footing...he does throw better combinations together but ..I like Arias/Joshua and the current guys like Povetkin/fury/Wilder over him if he fought them in a year or two...I would put him in the middle with better skills than 90% of the others. I wouldn't also sleep on the 7'0 dong under Roach,hes an athletic Valuev with actual skills that can translate into crisp fighter,he already is a pro kick bocxer so he knows the fight game.This will be interesting in the next year where we see these guys. I do hope fury win or lose does stick around I would like to see a Wilder/fury showdown or a fury other than Wlad with another top HW fight,there is plenty of fighters who will be there for him.

I personally wouldn't trust a person on an internet forum to make good on a bet via paypal.

If the bet were to be made though, it should be with Fury as a 4-1 underdog, as he is currently listed.

That means $20 on Wlad. against $5 on Fury.

Fair is fair.

The more vids i see of fury the more I see why he never fought the bigger Hw's and took a chance at this huge payday he has now...I cant blame him,...me ,myself? well im more convinced Wlad ends this within 5 rounds now from the press to this vid..im not to concerned what footage we are not seeing,total different skill sets here...when Wlad does win it will show however , how easy he handled a huge SHW with footwork. Next stop safter hopefully Wilder then Joshua,who is the real threat NOW,not fury.

so were clear without Wlad..fury would be looked at as the best giant in HW boxing..i don't think hes over Povetkin or Joshua...and wilder is a toss up for me. I also think Arias will surpass him as better fighters or Trey Morrison from what I see. You even have Pulev still lingering around as well,a solid better overall fighter at 250,i simply cant see fury with no power behind that frame winning this,and his percentage k.os cant sell it to me either,hes clearly pillow fisted to some of the hitters Wlads already faced.

I respect your opinions; the one point I take issue with is your notion that 'Fury hasn't fought the bigger heavyweights'. You seem not to understand how matchmaking works. Fighters fight who they have the opportunity to fight, for pay. Fury has not deliberately been avoiding fights.

If that is a jab over Ustinov, that has been covered pretty extensively, and I don't think I need to delve back into it.

[Weltschmerz]

no thats a different Arias..they have the same name cant think of his first name.hes only 24 or so.....the one im referring to is from Brooklyn N.Y he is a hybrid of Ali/Tyson style...very unique...He looks like Ali with A Tyson like physique ,hes around 6'1 225 right now.

Thanks for sharing this.

I think fury fought descent opposition. got to give him credit for signing to fight haye so early in his career. dont see how anyone can accuse him of either ducking fighters or fighting nothing but cans. he earned his way up the ladder unlike wilder and some other bogus top ranked guys

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for him.

What do you think of Parker?

parker is the goods imo. besides joshua I think hes the best up and coming prospect. good combinations and descent power. the chin,,,stamina and intagibles still remain to be seen but hes got potential

Not sure this has been posted here but quite an interesting interview with Tyson. Most of what he says is pretty true.

Greens sent.

Fury is a good boxer, is power most certainly overrated, his skill set is good for his size as is his mobility. I rate him personally, he's certainly a top 5-6 fighter in the division today, he just is not on Wlad's level, Wlad is not even in his prime anymore really either so a comparison when all is said and done and they've retired I'd say Fury ranks lower even further.

I'd like to credit Wlad more for a win over Fury but the guy has been dropped by feather fisted career cruisers, his punch resistance is poor and his match making to date is obviously a factor with his durability. His handlers deserve more credit than Fury himself avtually haha.

When Fury has been knocked out the same old detractors come along and say Fury was never anything special anyway, and the common consensus is he was just a huge imbecile more recognised for his mouth than his talents. The Klitschko hate mob then shift their attention to Joshua straight away, and they'll be saying what they now say about Haye about Fury !

Can Fury be a champion post Klitschko era ? Doubtful IMO, I expect we'll see Hughie go on an d emulate Tyson's achievements, he looks legit his credibility is already there with his current victories.

Should Fury stop Vladimir, I would be among the first here to congratulate him and his fans.

I just don't see it. It would be of the same dimension as Buster Douglas upsetting Mike Tyson.

The only time I felt Vlad underestimated an opponent was Sanders, and he learned a lot since then. Well from his 3 defeats in general.

It would be different if you could say for sure that Vlad definitely has slowed down, but it isn't the case really. And his massive advantage in experience counts a lot in this fight. It doesn't mean much that Fury is a fighting man, comes from a fighting family, whatever, when the steelhammer lands on his chin.

It would be nowhere near the same upset as Douglas vs Tyson. Nowhere near!! Fury is a legit player in the division, mandatory and ranked in the top 3 I believe. Wladimir is old and didn't have a great last couple of fights.

Tyson was an undefeated beast, perceived to be invincible and in his prime or so we thought. Add to that, Douglas had been beaten handily by guys tyson had already beaten or who were his sparring partners.

Nowhere near the same upset.
