    So Tyson needs a weight advantage to fight someone that has never had a professional or amateur boxing match? OK.

    Until the 12th and then Fury didn't know what to do.

    Hunter was a decent specimen back then, avoided pretty heavily, too high risk low reward for most. Bakole was a green literally off the boat PART TIME boxer. In many ways he's only just become a full time boxer. Boxing hasn't payed his bills up till now. If you stuck today's Bakole in with that Hunter he'd chin him quite easily. You can't take fights from 7 YEARS AGO to make a point. Tyson Fury went life and death with McDermott twice, 5 years later he toyed with Wlad Klitscko who was deemed unbeatable. Joyce Joyce 7 years ago was a punching bag, today he's still a punching bag. 7 years ago AJ was a bodybuilding bum, he's still a bodybuilding bum. Bakole doesn't have hype. Hype comes from casuals or people who DKSAB. The people who rate Bakole know boxing (me). Right now we have a crop of heavyweights outside of Usyk & Fury (who should retire) who can all beat one another. Unfortuantly for AJ there is no easy soft touches for him anymore and it's going to end badly because of such. Bakole is very beatable but not by AJ and if Bakole turns up at his best it will be like watching a 280 pound Foreman fighting for a cheeseburger after starving himself.

    What are you talking about? He came in a his heaviest and fattest, he was slow and out of shape because he didn`t train, his body was horrible when they first met and Fury showed off his belly.

    True but it's fair to say if you are taking PEDs 9 months prior to a fight then you are still a dirty fighter. He shouldn't really have been allowed in the ring against Klitschko. Basically, Christian Hammer was cheated out of a title shot

    I guess BBBoC didn't want the heat from having the Heavyweight Champion of the World being from Britain and being a drugs cheat.

    100%. I still don't know why UKAD waited over a year to present the results of the tests.
