Only because of the eye though.

So yeah, if you give Fury a horrific cut on his eye, then he's not great. Easier said than done though.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Fury now with what he did to Wilder, but he lost to McDermott and it's always left a sour taste in my mouth as it's a constant reminder of just how corrupt boxing is.

Problem is though if remember correctly Wallin managed to open that eye up by getting up close and throwing a overhand right. The has been other times on his career when he’s had a fighter whose stick close to him and caused him issues.

Yeah but he managed to do so because Fury wasn't taking him serious - he saw it as extended sparring, got caught, horror injury and then was suddenly in deep water and unable to adjust.

Don't think that happens against any 'proper' opposition.

Agree to disagree on this one. Only two people from the current division to give Fury problems will be Whyte and Joshua

Usyk would give Fury problems. I think Joyce would too.

Usyk would give Fury problems. I think Joyce would too.

Usyk too small, Fury also moves too well. Joyce would struggle too because he's too straight up, Fury would box him at angles and take a comfortable decision IMO.

Whyte has half a chance just because Fury doesn't have concussive KO power to keep him away; can imagine Whyte just winging in shots and he only has to land a few. Sort of akin to Wilder but, unlike Wilder, Whyte can box a bit.

Joshua vs. Fury is one hell of an enticing fight. I go back and forth on it.

Okolie has power, no doubt.

So, so easy.

Whytes body punches would cause Fury all kind of problems.

Had Okolie 1-3. Decent night so far for me!

I think whoever is lucky enough to get Fury at the right time beats him like. He's his own worst enemy - if he mentally falls apart again then it's game, set and match.

Unusual to see 1 fight left at 9pm. Quite odd.

A lot of filler for the next hour or so.

Rumours that he was in a bad place mentally few week back. Rumours that he was constantly drinking and getting dropped in sparring a lot.

Considering what happened with his daughter its possible. We will see in a few weeks. Hopefully he performs.

Nearly as bent as the footy this lark.

Brown envelopes all over the shop for Hatton - criminal decision.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

Joshua 4-6. You heard it here first.
