hes not back to what he was yet. he needs a tune up or two before he can get back there. and lets not pretend he was a specimen to begin with. hes a monster, but he mostly rose to the challenge. some dudes are like that. they only look good when they are the dog against someone proven, and everyone shitting on them. thug rose a prime example. boxing boring though.
you should watch how TJ just wrecked cody, cause TJ been boxing with lomachenko, who is widely regarded to be the best. tj on another level striking wise.
Fury is going to cockroached in the 6th round. This is a guy who just now decided he doesn't want to be 'Fat Bob' any more and get back in pro fighter shape. Well, in boxing, it doesn't work like that - especially when you've had no tune up matches and are planning your first bout back against a fighter who's been in prime shape and active the entire time you were stuffing your face.
Best of luck

I think you are absolutely right in pointing out that he looks like crushed ass.

But this is not true, dude can fight, sure he looks like shit, but look at how many times we have seen someone look like shit and knock someone the fuck out, Chuck Liddell, Butterbean, Fedor or his brother and Cormier. Say all you want to that most of them were MMA fighters, but they all stood and banged hard. None of the fighters I listed are great ground guys.
Yeah I am old enough to know better. Thing is, I just don't care.
I actually think he has a decent shot. The man has balls and he can take a punch. Taking NOTHING away from Deontay dude throws with bad intentions but ... will prove interesting ...

We'll see.
He's a pro boxer with pro boxing skill, that's unquestionable.
But if the fight goes into later rounds ... Round 8 and beyond, conditioning is going to play a major factor.

I think if it goes longer it plays perfectly into Fury's hand. He can and has gone far. The longer reach and the IQ may really frustrate wild swingin wilder. I wouldn't put money on it either way. Just happy there's something thats worth watching in heavyweight.
