Fury says Wladimir punches too hard, thinks he’ll knock Haye out
December 18th, 2010
By Sean McDaniel: Unbeaten heavyweight prospect Tyson Fury (12-0, 9 KO’s) fights tonight on the undercard of the Bernard Hopkins vs. Jean Pascal bout in Quebec, Canada against 37-year-old journeyman Zack Page (21-32-2, 7 KO’s) in an eight round bout. Page is a replacement opponent for Galen Brown, who was a replacement for Israel Garcia. It all amounts to the same, though, because Page is about the same kind of heavyweight, if not better, than Brown and Garcia.
In an article at thesun.co.uk, Fury said “From my first hand experience, I believe Wladimir will knock out [David] Haye if their unification fight comes off next year. Wladimir punches too hard, is too experienced and too ring wise for the likes of Haye.”
Fury isn’t the only one that sees Wladimir as too powerful and experienced for Haye. There are many other people in the boxing world who see this as a mismatch waiting to happen. Haye perhaps could have helped himself be ready for a bout against Wladimir by at least fighting some heavyweights with a youth instead of picking over older heavyweights like 38-year-old John Ruiz, 39-year-old Audley Harrison and 36-year-old Nikolay Valuev. Haye likely will be in shock when he enters the ring with Wladimir, because it’s going to be a dramatic difference from the types of heavyweights that Haye has been feasting on since moving up in weight in 2008.
As for Fury, he should be able to take Page out tonight without too many problems. The real question is whether Fury will show progress from his past fights.
Fury says “The two weeks I spent in Austria were brilliant. I learned so much and I feel I gave a good account of myself whenever I sparred out there. The sparring was definitely better than Haye’s recent fight with Audley Harrison. That fight was terrible. Haye was as scared as Harrison as Harrison to throw a punch. He is terrified of a big man.”

@ patpump – yes and yes, i think they have your mother as a pet too.
its true there the hardest hitters out there there record shows that they havent been taken the distance very much
The fact that Fury has gypsy blood in him has nothing to do with his performance as a fighter. What does count, is the condition he shows up in for the match. Let’s see if Manny Steward put the hammer to Tyson regarding conditioning and taking the bout seriously. Simply put: how much weight did Fury lose.
Little sister Haye is going to be hit harder than he has ever been hit before, if he ever fights the Klitschko brothers. I call Haye little sister because some Haye fans on this board call the Klitschko’s sisters.
Tyson Fury should know something about the power of Wladimir. He has sparred with him after all. Herbie Hide has said that the K brothers are deceptively fast for big guys and that they hit hard also. Sprott has said the same thing. It’s no point even trying to explain this to the Haye fans. They will keep on blindly following their ‘hype’ job Haye. Let’s see what Haye does between now and next Oct 2011. Where is all of the cleaning up that Haye had promised?
Tyson Fury is a big flabby gypsy and his dad is an even bigger one. Have you seen that guy? He looks like he ate Don King. On a more serious note, Fury was seen as promising here in the uk until his fight with McDermott (which he clearly lost) and since i think he’s looked worse and worse. Im not exactly Haye’s biggest fan, but he would smash Fury to bits. Although it is hard to knock out a gypo! It’s in their genes!
Paulie: You really need to grow up. What grade are you in? When you are out of junior high school you can go on Mommy’s computer. Be a good boy now and go nighty, nite and leave this site for adults.
Is Fury fighting bums because the contenders are ducking him??? Fury indeed needs to train that bit harder and lose a few pounds but if he is the real deal then from what I’ve seen of him, he’s got all the attributes. Big, tall, strong, good combos and an uppercut Larry Holmes would have been proud of. Except Larry didn’t use it on himself!!!
I think fury knows about the power of Wlad. as he has worked in the same camp.This fight for tyson realy looks like a rollover win for him.
fury your nothing but a fat gypo,your the type i’d ko on a friday night at the pub…..in actual fact after you struggle with that bum tonight…..i’ll meet you at the red lion pub car park…and we can settle the score,as im king of the gypsies…
david haye has frightening power……the sisters dont.
Hey are Gypsy’s a bad thing in the UK?..I have seen them along the roadway in campers. They were funny in that movie Snatch…..do they really have alot of dogs?
No he won’t knock Haye out. That’s because Haye will never climb that ring with him.
Welll true about one thing, Wlad is too big too strong and quick for the likes of a B- class fighter such as Haye, I liken it to a Doberman on a toy poodle. Sounds like this guy Furry is trying to set something up between him and Haye, don’t know anything about him really, get to see him tonight though.
“wladimir has not faced a heavywieght as fast and as clever as haye”
—————–
Chris Byrd was faster and more clever than Haye. Wladimir beat him twice.
This is from a gypsy!!!! that is his bloodline and thats all he is ever going to amount too. All he does is fight bums. His fight against Mc Dermot the first time was a complete fix, he blatantly lost the fight but had alot of muscle ringside putting pressure on the judges getting him the decision.
fury shut you ugly caravan c**t
Haye scared will get ko’d
Tyson Fury sounds like a name from super punch out on the nintendo. He lost his first fight against mcdermot. One of the most unjust decisions in years. Didn’t he even give himself a uppercut. David will wipe the floor with all the bums in the heavyweight divison and retire a rich man.
The Klitschko brothers have faced enough fighters with the skill level of a Haye but the other way around is of course not true. Haye will be on the run from the first round until at some point he is cornered, fixed then routinely knocked out.
Fury needs to STFU! He’s fighting a guy who has 11 more losses then wins and a 30% KO ratio. He needs to start fighting some decent fighters and forget what other people are doing.
I see the argument that haye has not faced a younger heavywieght but also wladimir has not faced a heavywieght as fast and as clever as haye. Wladimir will have to use all his experience to stay in the ring with haye.
Haye will make wladimirs jab miss again and again. He will take his time and stay away which will frustrate wladimir. Haye will spend as much time as he needs to work out his opening. In the mean time wladimir will be trying harder to tag haye and becoming more open.
Result Haye KO
