    That flabby fat that shows on his stomach is off putting, i am not saying he should have 6 packs as that is not representative of true boxing fitness and cardio but maybe he can find a way to get rid of that flab i.e. Body Fat % without losing his 256 lbs.

    I don't see why not. He definitely needs to lose a few lbs IMO. Those love handles were squeezed into his shorts.

    He needs to get with a top quality nutritionist and get a proper team behind him.

    Tyson has never looked great physically, but he always looks great in the ring. I think it annoys boxers that come into great shape like Wilder and Wladimir, and then get dominated by a " fat guy". It just shows you skills pay the bills. I think it's incredible how a 6"9, 256 lb guy can move like Tyson for the whole twelve rounds. tyson is a freak of nature.

    Don't think he needs to lose any more pounds, the extra pounds give him an edge. He needs to lose the love handles, reduce the bod fat percentage around his stomach

    Yep. He basically had 9 weeks to condition after 12 months of extreme weight loss. Tyson and his team done an excellent job, but the body needs more time to stabilise, strengthen, and peak than the 9 weeks they had to work with.

    With continued dedication, he can be quicker and stronger. Factor out the 3+ years of ring rust and we should expect to see an improved Fury in terms of physicality and sharpness.

    I think he tired in the later rounds. Hard to say what kind of shape he can get in after what he's been through, but I think it can improve.

    Yes, not just physically but mentally.

    For all Furys boasts and claims I'm sure he had some doubts after all that he had done to himself if he could still do it at world level and he proved to everybody and himself he is more than capable.

    He could get a lot better. His conditioning is still not what youd expect for an elite level athlete.

    His conditioning was pretty good for a fighter that has lost 9 stone and had 2 " comeback fights". How many heavies would have been as athletic as Fury in round 12 after being starched? He could and will be better !!
    Loose 9 stone you will always have loose skin

    was going to say the same thing, if he could get there he would be great

    he looked tighter vs Cunningham and also Chisora.

    He's carrying 10lb of timber he doesn't need to, it ain't loose skin.
