    I dont care what people say about 'big men' being built like that and boxing not being a bodybuilding contest, a professional athlete should not have love handles. they are the first thing to go when someone sorts out their diet / training.

    Fury is starting to look the part because hes lifting weights, thats it.

    He has poor balance and strength through his core, imo.

    No they're not. They are the last stores of fat.

    Good luck to him, he's finally giving 100%. Give it a few years and he'll be in great shape.

    BULL****!

    If an athlete is training and eating properly, they should not have love handles, end of story.

    Dont be a fat **** lover Stuey.

    I may have been hasty in my statement of love handles being the first to go, but you concede a professional athlete shouldnt have love handles?

    What is the first to go? On a man that seems to be fit except for the obvious love handles?

    Yes remember the deadlifts on a video, Would still like to see the calves strengthened up. But he's on the right road and i just hope he keeps his mobility and flexibility.

    Lets not forget, still the lions share of a training camp to go, some may say its not that impressive for a pro athlete etc but, if you compare it to the tubby chancer from his first 15 fights its great to see.

    If I was Wlad or Haye I would make the fight with Tyson asap, give the lad another year to 18 months to improve physically and technically from where he is now and they may be in some serious ****.

    Everyone is different, when i go through a cutting phase i normally lose fat on my face and arms first, the last to go with me is fat around the lower abs, which is the hardest to get rid of.
