    Only guy to beat Jake Paul, but he hasn't fought an actual boxer since that fight either. Did he ever have actual boxing potential based on his skillset?

    He's still only 25 but seems to have transitioned full time to fighting influencers.

    Tommy Fury struggled against KSI.

    That sums it up.

    Agreed even a B level boxer would have been able to time KSI with a huge shot when he was doing that dumb jumping jack garbage but it completely bamboozled Tommy lol.

    Given how talentless John Fury was and how mediocre Tommy is, i wonder how Tyson Fury magically had natural talent. Makes no sense.

    The only Fury with talent is Tyson.

    Genuinely think Tyson gets it from his mother's side. John was useless as a boxer and was knocked out a few times. Tyson has talent and skill and heart, whether you rate him or no he has something there.

    Tommy has a different mother to Tyson as I'm sure you know.

    Tyson is obviously very talented. He wasted a few years of his career but man, he could fight when motivated.

    I wonder how big the men were on Tyson's mothers side. Tyson may not have gotten his boxing talent from John but John is a pretty big man (6'3 i believe which is well above average height) so Tyson's size probably has at least something to do with his dad. But yes, boxing talent probably comes from his maternal side.

    No, and he's absolutely juiced to the gills. If he wasn't, he'd probably be able to make light middleweight.

    To be fair, Tyson has little actual athletic talent and he looked pretty low tier in his first 15 or so fights. But he developed a good fight IQ along the way, which allowed him to use his physical tools.
    Tommy on the other hand, he relies on his athleticism far more than his skills.

    He is quick on his feet for that big a man. I don't think we can attribute it just to intelligence.
