    "I need to go back to basics and learn how to fight again,” he said. “When I was 14 and 15 I used to fight with 10-punch combinations, now I can’t put two and three combinations together.

    “I’m winning fights, but I can’t do what I did before. I was the fastest heavyweight since Muhammad Ali, but I’ve just gone slow, sluggish.

    “Big, lumbering heavyweights are hitting me when I used to be able dance around them and put 10, six, 10-combinations together.

    “I’m winning because I’m so big, I’ve got a heart to keep going and my chin is all right too. But I’m not winning because of my skill.”

    Wait for some Alitards to come in here and deny this irrefutable fact.

    This man is the future (savior) of the heavyweight division! Let nobody tell you otherwise because they're all just haters! :deal
    Incredibly fast, elusive, smart, powerful, athletic and he has shown how strong his chin is (everyone have seen the gifs).

    Bring on the fury Tyson! :ibutt

    For his size he does have quick hands. However Haye Adamek and the K-Bros are all faster

    Ali had the phantom punch.

    Fury had the self uppercut.

    i can see the similarities.

    Fury has an iron chin, even Fury couldnt KO him.
    Fury has no power, he couldnt KO Fury.

    Respect to Fury for being honest with himself, and he's right, his basics do need sorting out, as he gets outta balance when he's aggressive, he lets his right foot catch up with the other and just looks sloppy when he's aggressive.

    I'm glad Tyson is recognizing stuff like this and is looking to improve it, as it will only make him a better fighter. Good luck Tyson.
