Tyson just wasn't fit enough to get out of the way of Wilders power...

    Only reason Tyson got tagged, was because he was out of shape... He wasn't at his optimal weight 240 pounds like he was against Klitschko... If Tyson gets down to 240 in the rematch, Deontay won't lay a glove on him.

    He was visually slowing after the 4th.....I mentioned it at the time in the RBR thread.


    It was pretty clear that he wasn't as sharp as the Klitschko fight.....
    And that wasn't down to Wilder.

    Like Lennox said, Fury was always going to get knocked down when he got tagged because his body wasn't quite repaired yet from going through the weight loss.

    Exactly what I was thinking while watching him move about. He should be motivated to get to and stay in the 240-245lb range! It was frustrating to see him get so close to his optimum weight because his body type shows every ounce over 245lbs.
