    Has there ever been a top level fighter that has lost as much weight as Tyson? Losing 150lbs in a relatively short period of time has effected his skins elasticity. Extra weight stretches the skin no matter where it is on the body. Someone who undergoes profound weight loss, of say, 100 pounds or more may have excess or sagging skin as a result of that stretching. His body didn't have enough time to acclimate to the changes.

    I think Fury not having any real skills besides running and doing cocaine was the major factor.

    Even though his face may not look noticeably different it doesn't mean his facial skin hasn't been affected by the tremendous weight loss. The huge cut he received from what looked like an arm punch could be indicative of a loss of skin elasticity, or it could also be the result of a perfectly placed punch to a susceptible area. An extraordinarily large cut from an ordinary punch.

    Weight swings & depression plaque Tyson. Hopefully fury stays training this cut may cause him to gain 100 lbs In a month

    So about Fury,
    Here's the thing,
    He boxes on
    A special ring,
    Beneath the canvas
    Deep within,
    They leave a gap,
    For all his skin,
    Its piled within,
    A metre high,
    Then hidden via
    C G I

    The worst thing that can happen to an addict is to win a lottery. You would be surprised how many lottery winners overdose when they suddenly become wealthy and have nothing but time and money to burn.

    Could you somehow insert "elasticity"?.

    The gypsy king of boxing fame,
    A man of great ferocity,
    Has but one flaw when in the ring,
    His skin lacks elasticity,

    Although he's lost a lot of weight,
    His skin bore all the strain,
    Of eating lots of burgers,
    And snorting much cocaine,

    No the weight has nothing to do with the cut. White fighters tend to cut easy. Fury has just been good at not getting hit or he would have had a lot more cuts. Fury does not cut near as easy as Wlad Klitschko. Wlad's skin is as weak as a wet paper bag. **** Wlad barley got hit in his fights and he still would be cut. Fury has stronger skin than the Klitschko's but that is not saying much. That punch that cut Fury would have cut both Klitschko's real bad. Lennox Lewis said he never seen a fighter cut as easy a Vitali. But the punch that cut Fury would not have cut Wilder because his skin is thicker. Fury did an amazing job guarding that eye as well as he did. Had Otto landed another good shot on that eye that fight would have been over. The fight should not have been stopped. Did you all want that bum Otto to win that fight? Wilder would KO Otto in the first round. Otto also cut easy due to his thin lunch meat skin. I remember when Larry Holmes cut Holyfield with that elbow early in that fight. That cut Holyfield had was way worst than Fury's cut. Wilder may be able to cut Fury if he can land a punch. You can see Wilder's punches coming from a mile away. Fury will do well against Wilder if he fights like we know he can. Wilder lost that first fight and he would lose to Ruiz as well. Ruiz is the best heavyweight out there right now.

    Not really, but I would like a level playing field for everyone that steps in the ring.
