He's looked slow and out of shape the last two fights. I know he still won, but lets face it, the only reason he got up to 277 is because he didn't keep in shape, there were no tactics behind this. I'd suggest he get his ass down to 265. Put on a bit of muscle, and shed some fat. 260-265 is enough. I don't buy this "his weight works to his advantage", crap. He looked really slow the last two fights compared to what he was. He should lose some fat and put on a bit of muscle.
I'd like to see him against Inoue. His chin held up against Wilder, but could he go the distance with Inoue? I think the Japanese fighter can close the gap and get inside, bang the body and maybe even stop Fury in the late rounds.
Lol there is zero need for him to drop weight....... he's scored back to back KO's and looked absolutely fine. His dad was absolutely fuming with Ben Davison and the team when he learned of Fury's weight for the Wallin fight..... Fury said he felt as weak as a cat on the night and as we all know, he then brought in Sugar Hill for all future fights.
Fury's weight against Klitschko was 247. He was faster and more agile. Lets be honest, Wilder and Whyte didn't have the best skillset, if he faces Usyk or even Joshua on a good night, he could lose a decision
Yes 247 when he was dancing around the ring behind a jab and that was 7 years ago prior to all the issues he's had, ballooning up in weight etc. He's now knocking people out and providing entertainment along the way. I watched the footage of the build up to Wallin fight and both he and his family were NOT happy at all that his weight was so low (and on that night he came in around the 250-255 mark). Then his comments after the fight were that he felt weak.
I remember that, but also remember that on his first couple of comeback fights before Wilder, Frank Warren was only talking about losing weight of Fury in the post fight I also think that he has put on a lot more muscle mass compared to when he fought Klitschko, thats why he has been KOing people, but with a guy with as good feet as Usyk he might get danced around and be too stiff. Its much harder to find a punch in Usyk than Wilder. Maybe around 260 should be his ideal weight against Joshua and 250 against Usyk
His legs have gone. He didn't need to move much against an ever slower lump like Whyte but will need some mobility V Usyk or AJ. Problem is i'm not sure the guy who fought Wilder in fight 1 exists now so he may have weigh in simelar to the Whyte fight.
No he didn't. He was nearly KO'd vs Wilder. His upper body movement was significantly less agile vs Wilder the 3rd time. He looked much closer.
Anywhere from 260-270 is a good range for him. He’s a big guy and has showed he’s capable of handling extra weight just fine. But he was more of a mover when he fought at lighter weights which made some fights harder for him then they should have been. He seems to have adapted to using his size and reach better and is sitting down on his punches for more power lately. It seemed that he wanted to be a mover early on but Sugarhill seems to have convinced him otherwise. He’s the biggest guy in the division and has very good mobility for a man his size and most of the time he can use his size to his advantage, against movers and slicker fighters he does have the ability to adapt. He’s a really good fighter with the potential to be an ATG, but unless he unifies or at least beats the winner of Usyk and Joshua, he will have that “ What If “ following him around for the rest of his life. Riddick Bowe had a good career but he’s remembered first for the Lennox Lewis avoidance.
250-260. Problem isn't his weight, it's his legs and the fact that he's been through wars with Wilder and that right hand aged him. He can no longer dance like he did against Wlad or even Wilder in the first one any longer.
