Somatotypes are a myth, when people talk about an ectomorph you are just talking about a person who doesn't have a big appetite and doesn't eat enough and when talking about a endomorph you are just taking about a person that just likes to eat too much. Fury's diet is probably an issue, between fights he always balloons up close to 300lbs and that suggest he likes to eat too much and I doubt that changes when he is training. But to be fair to him, he's in better shape than most could have hoped for, it's his lightest weight in over 3 years.
He looks in decent shape. It's not a bodybuilding contest, but a fight on a memory foam matress with gloves built for people with enormous thumbs.
I don't understand it either. He has all this time to prepare. His job is to be in good condition. That's what he can dedicate his entire life to. So how in the hell is he always still fat?
Wlad better knock him out quick then. It would embarrassing for body-beautiful Wladimir to struggle against slob like that.
Anyone else ever notice that body-beautiful seems to only be a problem at Cruiserweight and heavyweight. From 175 on down the only fat guys you see are the super shot to **** old fighters like Morales and Robinson when they were shot. Why do some heavyweights have trouble being body-beautiful, but everybody else is fine being in shape?
" Fighters should look cut. Period. Anyone who says different is just lazy either with diet , training or both." I totally agree there. It's a shame fighters from the golden era all looked exactly like Tyson Fury. "I don't know of any fighter in his prime that looked this out of shape for the biggest fight of their lives ???" Well, for one, there are those guys called Ali and Frazier, you may have heard of them sometimes, i dunno, but they looked even worse than Tyson Fury in their primes. :roll:
So the heavyweight division is populated by guys who blow up just for the hell of it because they're too lazy to make 175 and 200???
Laziness is the culprit. It's also the combination of poorly conditioned "big men" getting into boxing just on "size" as opposed to having any degree athletic prowess from the start.
