    Whyte is in decent shape. Doesn't really look fat nor completely ripped.

    Fury, although I love him, is a fat ****. He does perform well with a few extra pounds, but I see no reason for him to be higher than 260lbs.

    I think it would take him much more effort to get ripped than most people. He's got a very strange build - but then again at 6ft 8/9" it's hard to look "normal".

    Not if we include the WBA regular title as a championship fight. Bryan/Stiverne was like watching the Pilsbury doughboy fight the Michelin man, both were well over 30% body fat.

    But even if we don't include the WBA regular title, Whyte actually looked pretty lean in prep for Wallin, last pic I saw he was probably around 15% bodyfat, maybe less.

    Fury has adopted the constant workrate mentality, a mentality which will be really important against Usyk. A mentality which might see Whyte blown out badly.

    I expect Fury to maintain a level of aggression.

    Sugar hill doesn't seem to care for disengaging which fury used to do, drag the rounds out.

    But why drag the rounds out against Whyte? there is no need.

    Fury has the best gas tank he doesn't have to preserve it.

    If Fury wanted an easy night then it's lateral movement and jab all night long. No combinations. Pick Whyte apart.

    Because Whyte hasn't got the length of Wilder so keeping at the end of a jab and circling the clumsy ******* can keep fury from the left hook. Whytes a decent brawler only

    There is lots of factors in place, and getting older is making it also harder, but let's say to say what his problem is, we got to have first hand information, and we don't have.
    But as i say, no matter how **** your genetics are, there is always a route to make it happen.
    I been working/training/ doing martial arts, for 20+ years, and my body is actually very hard to get ripped. Even with solid diet and a very solid physical training. Saying that, i'm currently 125kg., but i'm nothing like Fury alike.
    Let's say smth. like Povetkin from Joshua fight, but with better defined arms and chest.
    But why i say that. I can easily lose weight, but at some point, when i get at low body fat %, if i push for more and even with a very solid carb cycling diet i start losing muscle and my body start shrinking. :D
    With roids it's a completely different story tho.:D
    Anyway obviously every man is different. As i said i have a bit harder time with getting ripped, but i can very easily gain weight, and when talking about weight i mean muscle. Obviously it's not just muscle, but a lot of people that can get ripped easily, have hard time gaining muscle after some point.

    But in Fury case i find it very strange, cause he is a PRO, and boxing training is going to spin your metabolism like mad and you are wasting tons of calories in there, and just in and after the training, but quite awhile after that as well.
    When i was training boxing it was quite ridiculous. So i have always think how is some of this guys training hard, but looks like .....
    Some obviously not putting much efforts, but in Fury case i think it's the diet. Still we are not there and don't know the details, so it's just a guessing.
    Could be hormone related issues, illness or so, but a pro boxer will definitely take actions if it's something like this.
