Tyson Fury hasnt fought really anyone in 3 years

Big John doesn't think he's close to being back to where he was before (if that is even possible and as of now we don't even know it is given the dire quality of opposition he fought in those 2 tune ups) and if he had his way they would've taken at least another 6 months and fought quality opponents to sharpen his tools up and give himself the best possible chance of winning. He thinks Tyson is 50% and that he couldn't possibly be back to his best or anywhere near given the inactivity, the abuse he put his body through, and the lack of fights he's had in that time and the quality of opponent he fought when he did actually come back.

Tyson's trainer didn't want this fight yet either

Tyson's brother Shane said he wanted him to have more tune ups first and Frank Warren also said ideally he should've had at least two more fights before stepping up to this level.

Even Tyson said he was going to do it the proper way when he came back and have at least 4 tune ups. Problem is he's extremely stubborn and he thinks it's written in the stars for him to win this fight and that god is going to be in his corner.

 

No argument from me on that one. I've never rated him that highly and his resume and boxing skills are utter garbage. His resume is so poor that it tears itself apart for you. I do think he's improved somewhat in recent years but he still doesn't impress me much. However, if there's one thing he can do in addition to yelling bomb squad at top of his voice is punch and he's pretty fast and the pre-ballooned up to 400lbs, seriously abused his body with industrial amounts of alcohol, cocaine, and junk food, inactive for 2.5 years or not fought anyone with a pulse Tyson was dropped by scrubs like Pajkic, hurt and almost went down against Firtha, and dropped heavily by light hitting CW Cunningham so I'm sure Donkey is more than capable of doing a lot worse against this version of Fury.

The skill level gap between them is huge and Fury is still capable of boxing Donkey's ears off even now. However, his reflexes and sharpness have to be on point for all 12 rounds assuming it goes that long and I very much doubt they are or could be given the inactivity, abuse he put his body through, his lack of fights and him not having fought anyone with a pulse in 3 years.

 

Shane Fury elaborates on his brother Tyson's mental and physical state during those 2.5 years of inactivity and how heavy his alcoholism and drug abuse was

He also touches on the fracas on the stage the other day (at the start of the vid) and how one of the members of Bum Squad tried giving it William large testicles only to lose his bottle after he received a couple of clumps up the lug from him. Shane is currently injured and on crutches but had he not been every single member of Bum Squad (including Donkey) would've gotten their asses paddled something terrible. Bum Squad are hella lucky Big John, Uncle Peter, Hughie, Clifton Mitchell and the rest of the Fury clan weren't there otherwise they'd all be nursing broken jaws right now.

 

I like Paris Fury she seems like she's got a good heart and she comes across well.
