they are in talks and if it happens its going to be in the US
fair play to him if he goes over to take on cunningham, gets to make a splash in the US and keep the pressure on price to keep performing, always a risk to fight away

I wouldn't turn my nose up at that. Everybody from Coventry scares me for one reason or another. No exceptions.

Fury has fought good opposition throughout his career.

i think Fury has progressed quite well , a wee bit of trash talking aint too bad, just wished he put the energy into his condtioning. While he has come on recently , he could still be in better shape.

Well I'm still confused how fury is 7 th in the world, IMO he has slowly improved very well and I like him alot but he has to fight and beat top 20 opposition before he can call k2 and haye out !

His opposition has been good.
He hasn't fought anyone who was in the top 20 at the time, but Chisora went on to become a top 10ish ranked fighter and Cunningham is a top 15 fighter.

Chisora had beaten Williams and Sexton, he was much higher than 49th in the world when he fought Fury.

He hasnt fought Cunningham yet so thats wait and see.
And I'm sure chisora was 49th at the time according to our boxrec ratings which is good enough for me ! It was definatley in the late 40's.
You of all people should know horse

BoxRec ratings are often very dodgy.
I would say Chisora was top 30 when he fought Fury.

Boxrec is a truly great website but the system it uses for its ratings is garbage, in my view, and always has been.

It cracks me up the hate fury gets on here ,Fury is the most improved HW in this country, he used to be a right fat boy but he ent fat no more , that guy knuckled down and done something about what the critics/fans was taking the micky out of him over,Now these same fans are reduced to just ether critiquing his ethnicity or his resume ?
These are the same fans that think David Price should be ranked higher cause hes beat worse bums better

I have no hate towards fury, I would just like him to beat bigger names before he calls out the big boys.

Well Wlad has just been given the all clear to have a voluntary defense of his titles before facing Povotkin, any chance it could be Fury facing Wlad?

Mormeck, Thompson and Wach were Wladimir's last three opponents and next is probably Solis.
Fury is a better opponent than them, he is worthy of a shot right now.

I would like to see fury in with either of them, or povetkin and helenius !
He beats them all IMO but I want to see it first before he calls out wlad or fights him !

I'd like to see Fury fight one, two or three world level opponents before he fights a Klitschko, but he is a good opponent for either of them now, so him calling the brothers out is okay with me.

Well that's your opinion and I hope your right, I think either brother would hurt fury real bad if they fight him in the next 6 months ! That's why I want him to gain more experience first, but if he gets the shot at them good luck to him

x2 nothing wrong with his career at all especially considering he has time on his side
Plus he's much younger than Price/had more fights.
