    If he's getting dropped that heavily by feather-fisted heavyweights and wobbled badly by people like Firtha and Chisora what chance does he have against people like Helenius and Povetkin let alone the Klitschko's, I think he's going to be knocked out very soon, the guy looks panic stricken every time an opponent comes forward and is very easy to hit despite his huge height.

    The fight was a BS stoppage, look at the gyppo's after Fury got put down, no way were the officials going to let Fury lose that fight, there would have been a riot.

    He's not chinny. Just doesn't have a strong beard IMO.

    I thought Fury had a good chin, but that shot wasn't even flush on the chin i can't believe that put him down

    I think the bigger problem is his defence is ****ing woeful...he looked worse than ever tonight...

    Well out of shape, I swear he fights on raw ability half the time, never seems to bring anything new to the table.

    He's never going to win a world title, he's not got the commitment to the game.

    I would be embarassed to get into the ring looking like he did to be honest...

    That may not have been the most he has weighed but that was the worst physically I've ever seen him.

    He took a flush shot from a big fella & hopped back up, a lot of current HWs wouldnt do the same

    If he was in better condition he wouldnt have taken half the shots he did, this may hopefully be a wake-up call for Tyson. If he's going to headline at the MSG on Paddy's day he wont want to end up on his arse again.

    He was hurt badly against firtha and down with ONE punch today against guys who r light/average punchers who were 2/3 stone lighter then him. Price would ko him..easy. He's got no defence.

    He reminded me of Audley tonight when retreating.

    Painful to watch.

    He isn't very confident with his chin and taking a shot. Notice how in his last fight and especially today whenever pajkic got close he was almost panicking and holding on for dear life.

    It's not his chin per se, but more his non-existent defense and poor conditioning. He literally walks into punches in a straight line.

    This happens a lot with big fighters. They can take a big punch and get knocked off balance. If they stay on their feet, they recover quickly (Valuev Vs Haye) but if they go down, the weight of a big man going down can do some damage (Fury tonight). He recovers quickly, but agreed he can't take a shot. Defence should be his 100% focus, and then sharpening up his awfully sloppy attacks.
