<p>i bet you saw that name, clicked on it, and were really, really disappointed</p>

<p>Why?</p>
<p>I don't understand.</p>
<p>.</p> -
<p>Kind of agree,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But it's also a bit of a myth imo. It was true during the late 90's, but not so much in his younger year that I'm referring to</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tyson had power, amazing speed of hand and excellent defensive ability..... Mike was outboxing and outjabbing good boxers with a massive reach advantage. It takes exceptional skill to do so.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Later on in his career, his skills were diminished somewhat, then he did rely on intimidation. But before his prison stretch whether or not you feared him, he'd find a way to beat you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Look at the Razor Ruddock fights, he wasn't scared yet Tyson found a way.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Although the second Bruno fight and Spinks were 100% won before he even stepped in the ring.</p> -

<p>Tyson is only 5'10. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In his prime I'd back him to destroy Klitscko</p>

<p>Easily. Tyson's entire career was fighting taller guys with more reach and a lot of them could actually box.</p>

<p>Maybe. Tyson relied on scaring the shit out of guys he faced. </p>

<p>A well deserved reputation.</p>

<p>He was a machine , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But he relied on blowing guys away early , its whether he could get inside him , would that big jab and frame keep him out for those early rounds , </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I would back Klitschko to finish him off if it went to middle rounds </p> -

<p>Fury is a good talker and knows how to sell himself but is limited and not a real boxer. But he is huge and though cliched all heavyweights just need to land one punch to shock the world.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wlad by decision .</p>

<p>Wow that host is terrible. Kellerman is a master in these building the tension to sell the fight, this fellow seemed to try and diffuse any tension with nervous jokes and laughter.</p> -
<p>Fair play</p>

Wow!
-
<p>Well that's egg all over my face. Astonishing.</p>
-
<p>This fight has just been bizarre from the start. First we had a postponement due to injury, then the controversy over the gloves and canvas, and now the result. I suppose we shouldn't be surprised.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You have to admire Fury for backing up his bravado.</p> -

Did anyone on TSF come out and back Fury? He just shocked the world</p></blockquote>
<br>
Not me , but I think it's good for the sport and good for Joseph ( not that he is ready yet ) as the door opens a little more with klitchko career pretty much finished now -
How on earth did one of the judges get 116 to 111? Was a very close fight, but imho Fury didn't do enough to win it.
-
<p>Fury has a very weird way of boxing, I suspect that put Klitschko off, hard to box when the opponent is all over the place.</p>
<p>Edit: looks like he will take up the rematch option.</p>
