    Here's a photo of him at the Cunningham weigh in - 254 pounds. He has got in better shape than say 3 years ago, but to me he's not that impressive if you compare him to likes of Wlad, Vitali and Haye:

    Not everybody is going to be shredded. I think his fitness can improve, but he doesn't seem to have the body type that will be overly impressive on the scales.

    At least there's no steroid talk surrounding him.

    For a heavyweight in this day and age, yes.

    He's fit. He doesn't walk around with body builder definition, let alone when he's not in a workout but he's gotten fit. He's worked hard and the excess weight is no longer a problem that I can see.

    ^exactly.
    and tyson's shown he can go the full 12 rounds,which is more than enough to answer that question

    i remember wlad said he doesn't really do weights and such

    He does have a decent workrate and seems to recover well, has also kept his workrate over 12 rounds. His conditioning is actually his best asset, other than size.

    Who cares if he's in shape, he has no skills.
