    I've watched every round of his fights as a pro.

    And commentators and observers :rofl:rofl no they didn't, only idiots would suggest that.

    He needs to show far more commitment to the sport. At 23 years old he should be in fantastic shape. He isn't, so he will never fulfill his own potential unless this changes.

    What the **** are you babbling on about? The guy ships punches and gets hurt in the heavyweight division, its expected. He ships clean punches, often. There is no exact science as to which ones hurt you as long as you're facing a somewhat reasonable puncher. There hasn't been any sort of correlation, he's been hurt in many fights.

    He just beat an unbeaten guy. He needs to improve his focus and motivation. You can't go into a bout without focusing on your opponent as any 250lb pro boxer can hit hard but if anything he's on the up.

    I wouldn't call him shot. He may very well have reached his level already though.

    Are you joking? Boytsov for example is miles better than him.

    No way what? Tyson Fury is a mess of a boxer. He's all over the place, trading almost entirely on heart and guts at the moment. He's making very average fighters like John McDermott look decent, Price and Skelton absolutely murdered McDermott. He's making guys like Pajkic look a danger when in reality he's only a danger due to Tyson's ineptitude. Beating a completely fat Chisora doesn't erase these poor performances and concerns.

    There are any number of fighters that would spank him.

    the fights with mcdermott were early in his career i know chisora was out of shape but he still did well to win nearly every round im not saying hes amazing but the heavyweight division is **** at the moment and i can see him talking his way into a world title shot in the future.
    He needs to go to america and work with emmanuel steward and work on making his jab a weapon.
