    Hard to say, Fury clearly declined in his next 2 fights and obviously didn't put the hours in at the GYM. Against Chisora he was in somewhat decent shape, didn't look to be carrying that much fat. The fight was a one off where Fury was at his probable peak best and Chisora was at his absolute worst.

    Definetly the best we've seen from him so far. But you know if he got a permanent trainer and conditioner and started living the life he could give more. That seems unlikely as he is a lazy *******

    An in-shape Chisora knocks Fury out.

    Maybe Fury fighting ever month would be his best option in order to keep in shape. He clearly has a shocking diet, to be fighting around 5 times a year with a 6'9 frame and still be carrying this much fat leading up to his last fight of the year really is a poor showing.

    I dread to think what he will look like in his first fight back after the Christmas holidays.

    His attitude sucks for someone with his potential

    Fury was highly motivated, in the best shape Ive seen him in & was dominant, despite fighting the majority of the bout with an injured left hand.

    Chisora never wanted the fight, he didnt train properly & barely said a word at any of the pressers. IIRC he didnt even turn up to one & Fury went looking for him in a horse & carriage!

    Style-wise I think Fury might have Chisora's number, for a big man he fights well on the inside, he can take a decent shot & has proven powers of recovery. He also throws a lot of punches for a guy his size, he's tough & loves a tear up. Defensively he isnt great but has a big heart & it will take a very good performance to beat him.

    Fury hasnt looked great in his last 2 fights but managed to win them both. He's had a busy year with some good fights but its been a tough year in his personal life with his Dad going to jail & his newborn being in intensive care for 3 weeks.

    He's got a new trainer now, with his life more settled he will hopefully be better prepared & conditioned for his next fight & show some signs of improvement. I think he has more talent than Chisora & more potential to get better.

    Fury at his best vs Chisora at his best would be closer than the 1st time but I'd favour Fury to win on points in a very entertaining fight.

    Do you know who his new trainer is?

    I agree he beat chisora with ease, I thnk chisora came in at that weight to try and blow fury out of there, but he didnt want the fight to start with.
    Most people are saying what would happen it chisora was in the same shape as he was for the helenius fight, but what would happen if tyson has the use of both hands for all rounds and not just the first three.

    Helenius hurt his hand in the first round and could not keep chisora off him, but tyson seemed to handle him fine.

    Chisora wins fights by bullying or out manning the oponent, he's never going to be able to do that against tyson.

    Tyson has said before that he has been over to spar with helenius a few times in the past and smashed him up, which I can belive as tyson is an honest lad and has also said in the past that anthony joshua give him a bit of a beating in sparing.

    Recently in one of the boxing papers, can't remember which. He said he thought changing trainers regularly was beneficial (can't say I agree).

    I think Chisora has far more class than Fury personally.

    If Chisora would fight against Fury in shape, he'll win IMO
    And I think that Helenius would stop Fury in midrounds.

    I was at the Fury Chisora fight. Chisora was definately out of shape, fighting only in fits and spurts, when he did bring it on, he had alot of success. Tyson was in good shape (for him). For what ever reason Tyson seems to have lost that focus now which is a shame because I think he has alot going for him, had he continued to improve (his conditioning and his defence) I think he could've be a serious contender (I don't think its too late if he can regain that focus and commit to some serious training soon). Personally I think had Chisora been able to sustain his attack, like he did against Helanius he would have been too much for Tyson on that night, but it didn't happen. I think Chisora will give it a real go against Vitali and he has a punchers chance if only he can land one - lets hope so as he seems like a real character.
