Now that Tyson Fury has lost his 0 will he become a better fighter?

Yezzzirrr!

 

I don't think so. He doesn't fight often enough. I'm not ruling it out, if he wins a rematch vs Usyk and beats AJ (both very possible) the narrative will flip back. His inactivity and then the streak of taking crap fights like Wallin, Schwarz, Ngannou and Chisora took a lot of the luster off him. And the fact that he fought all those guys and Wilder 3 times before fighting AJ/Usyk it just seemed like a guy hoarding chips before he cashes out

 

No, Fury is shot. Years of drug/food/alcohol abuse, inactivity and fighting weak opponents has caught up to him. This was the lightest he's been since 2019, and he gassed out. He emptied the tank and it wasn't enough. The abuse plus the ass-beating he received makes me think he get knocked out in the rematch.

 

A worse fighter in my opinion. His zero is what allowed him to keep up the "no man from his mother" rhetoric. I reckon he's gonna crash and burn in the rematch --- if there is a rematch.

 

I don't see that. I think his best is behind him. He is a very good fighter, but not at the level of Lennox for example. I think Lennox with his right hand was better. The Klitchkos to me are a little better than Fury. But Tyson was good.. I will be interested to see what he can do from this point on. I just don't see him being too dominant in the future. It seems like he reached what he wanted. It has seemed this way for a long time.

 

Didn’t or couldn’t? I say it’s couldn’t. Firstly Usyk was too good for him and made better adjustments. Secondly age and lifestyle just wouldn't let him box at Usyk’s pace for 12 rounds.

 

really? what was fury doing that stood out as highly skilled, or that only he was capable of doing?

 

Of course not.

 

not to mention he cherrypicked bums and old men his entire career.
