did tyson fury prepare thoroughly for his trilogy with deontay wilder?

No

He was clearly not mentally or physically prepared the way he should have been ...and it nearly cost him this third fight with Wilder.

Had Wilder not abandoned his gameplan this fight could've had a different outcome ... He's lucky he fought Wilder that night and not someone focused who doesn't stray away from his strategy .... like Usyk

 

Tyson Fury didn't look good in any of those Wilder fights. The thing is how Wilder trained. Wilder was what 212 in their fight and he looked better and went the distance. The second and third fight Wilder was much heavier than he should of and looked worse and gassed out.

 

Precisely

 

He faked Covid and was out in public less than a week later. They also said Parker had Covid and he had to admit he didn't after he was at the McGregor fight.

 

First fight: I doubt it. Fury might be overrated but his is still technically sound, world class boxer with plenty of smarts. Fully prepared and mentally/physically ready Tyson wouldn't let the victory slip out of his hands here.

Second fight: More or less fully prepared. No time wasted; constantly giving and receiving.

Third fight: Unprepared. Bad elbows and other issues. Wouldn't have walked into that right hand in 4th otherwise. Kinda disappointed Tyson couldn't give it all, because he would absolutely shatter any remaining reputation Wilder had after their previous bout.

 

He was fat as ****. Trained on fish'n'chips and ale.

 

Fury may not look like a great fighter but he has a barrel chest and massive core, the engine never stops going on this big man.

 

Furys best shape and focus was clearly the second bout. The first he was coming back after the long layoff and 'warmup' fights against scrubs which he did not appear to train for.

Second fight laser focused and in good shape.

Third fight not focused and in moderate shape, enough to go the distance and recover from the knockdowns. But got hit too easily.

 

No, but he didn’t have to. Fury is all over the place, he could beat everyone or he could lose to Whyte and end himself. He’s an unstable guy so his training is unstable. He’s no Bernard Hopkins. That’s why I pick a consistently professional fighter like Usyk to beat him.

 

He looked in great condition in the second fight.

The third fight Fury's interrupted build up clearly had a huge influence on his condition, he looked tired and worn out. But credit where credit is due, he can dig down mentally perhaps more than any other fighter and pull out a win.

He absolutely needs to be in better condition for his next fight.

 

Physically I think he was OK but mentally clearly not. He didn't seem stable during fight week. During the fight he was defensively terrible.

But fair play. It's the mark of a great champion that can battle through and win even when well below their best

 

He looked in good condition for his standards. He was still in poor condition for somebody who is suppose to be a top heavyweight. Also clearly you are one a Tyson Fury fanboy and will make excuses for him. Yeah no other boxer ever got knocked down and got up and won. I guess Foreman didn't get knocked down by Ron Lyle and got up and won. I guess Holyfield didn't get hurt badly by Bert Cooper and came back and won. I guess Michael Moorer didn't get knocked down by Bert Cooper and got back up and won.

But since you are a Tyson Fury fanboy I can't take you seriously and will ignore anything else you type.

 

only the 2nd fight.

So that's a clear no!

 

And yet he is the heavyweight champion twice?

How exactly was he in poor condition? He's just not built like some ****ing dickhead bodybuilder. But he would iron out every heavyweight.

It's a fight, not a Mr Universe competiion. Ever heard the phrase 'it's not the dog in the fight its the fight in the dog'?

I doubt it.
