Tyson v Boytsov.

[Guest bezza]

How many has fury fought inside the top ?

 

Derek Chisora I think he's renked quite highly.

.Fury did a better job on him than Klitchko.

But as has been said a few times, the heavyweight division, which should be the jewel in the crown, is now little more than a sideshow. In fact more of a freak show with guys nearer 7 ft pawing away at each other like sparring stick insects.

It's a bloody shame it's got to this.

Gnash says these freaks should fight in their own division. I agree, I don't think anybody would turn up to watch them.

That would allow the genuine mobile heavyweights to come into their own again.

Bezza your right,a fighter like David Haye love or hate him has far more talent skills and ability than these giants and he is a genuine heavyweight at 210lb.....yet realistically he would probably be beaten by far inferior fighters purely on size alone.......you think,he would give up around 40lb to Price/Fury/Klitchkos etc..........40 lb thats like a lightweight fighting a light heavyweight or a middleweight fighting a heavyweight..............between some weight divisions there is as little as 4lb......at heavy there can be 30,40,50 anything..............its killing the division in my opinion.

As they say a good big un will beat a good little un

But its getting to the stage now where a crap big un can beat a good littlun.............and that cant be right can it.

[TOMO 26,364]

What do you think is the answer gnash,,, super heavyweight like the Olympics,, or perhaps change the weight categories , like move cruiser weight up a stone ect

[gnasher16 30,217]

I think thats the only answer Tomo a super heavyweight division at maybe 224......that still leaves 24 lb over the heavyweight division but it at least cancels out these freak shows bouts..............................the human race is getting bigger thats fine but the sport cant be compromised like it is at the moment....only my opinion like.

denis boytsov has said he needs more time to prepare for the fight against fury so the fight is on hold and he is fighting someone else in belfast but doesnt know who

[sniffer 167]

Same old excuse got everyone exited then he shited

[brookie 1,193]

Just had a look at some stats. Fury is 6 ft 9 and eighteen stone.

Boytsov is 6ft 1 and 15 stone.

The fight is in Belfast, Fury's second home, Boytsov has never fought outside Germany or Austria before.

If Fury can't beat him, summat's wrong.

Is it just me but I think there's something a bit vulnerable about Fury. Like a lot of travelling kids, he;s been brought up to fulfil his father's dreams. He's even called after a famous boxer ( there's a lot better heavyweight role models than Tyson to have been called after in my opinion.)

I think there's something a bit unhealthy in it all. A bloke should be able to make his own way in life-not be forever pleasing his dad all his days.

(Brookie is going to slaughter me for this comment. lol)

Having said that I hope he wins. If only to eventually to see a showdown with Price.

i dont bite any more to comments on here by the experts about tyson ,why was he born ,why is he boxing why did john name him after tyson , why he wont beat david price .why its no good for the sport of boxing because it doesnt help that cowardly b*****d blaggard david who got beat by a middleweight haye . im confidant in my own mind that tys going to win a world title ,im confidant hes going to knock boytzov out cold the same as we are all confidant he would stop price .so crack on lads your the ring side experts courtesy of thl.

Looks like Fury has to knock this man out to prove he's a contender Had to laugh at Fury's statement -Fury also could not resist a dig at David Price, who is set to meet 45-year-old Matt Skelton in his next bout, commenting: "I'm not going around getting opponents out of graveyards, fighting guys well past their best like some other heavyweights in Britain." http://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/sport/story/179009.html#

Cracks me up the bullshit between these 2........they are both fighting dead bodies the only difference is Price is fighting dead bodies whos names we know.....Furys next opponent is according to him " a step up in class ".......why,because he fought Klitchko and lost every round....Johnson has never beaten an opponent in the top 30 and lost last time out in the Prizefighter tournament.................and he,s a step up .............and some people used to knock Amir Khans level of opponent when he was coming up !!

But who else have we got to back, when the pretenders to the thrown are gone, hopefully we will have a warrior to slay the rest of the world, I like Fury because he's a game lad

oh absolutely.....wouldnt know if he,s a game lad as ive never seen him tested but im certainly behind him simply because he,s a Brit...same as im behind Price..........only because i know the game can i accept the bullshit but i can see how it would put off folk who are not 100% into boxing these 2 are not kids carving out a career a loss wont stop either of them making a good living off the game of boxing.....and thats the annoying part for me.

Did a lot of sparring myself at one time, but my quesion is, where are all the heavywieghts that can rival Fury and Price, Lenox Lewis could come out of retirement and waste the current contenders even at his age, the last time it was this bad, Holmes came back at 50 and won
