    Let this Joshua vs Fury thing re-grow legs with Fury getting a couple W's before you even think too hard about that fight.
    Don't go that far. Even a fat Fury would toy with Allen.

    Fury will have some easy opponents and then step up. But he looks fitter and fitter.

      Wilder or AJ will spark out Fury on any day.
      He won like 10 rounds, how is that 'barely'?

        LOL I'm just saying who knows what Fury has left or if he'll even be the same guy. I'd bet against him losing to some Allen like guy, but I think its probably just a lil less likely then we've not seen the best of Fury yet.

        He does look like he's in shape. But then does that really mean THAT much necessarily? He could be losing weight the wrong way & things could go south in a fight because of it.

        I'm rooting on him, but I won't be surprised whatever happens next & in his next few fights right now. And I was a big believer in Fury before he dropped the balls, but I just can't believe the odds are good you can get so out of shape + have the PED thing + have the mental issues he's had & just shake off all that & just jump back in the game & be back where you were with a couple fights. Maybe he can. Maybe he'll be better.

        Mainly I'm just curious what does happen now. I'm less invested in Fury now then I used to be.

          I'm not THAT confident in him being not sh^t on his comeback. Granted the guy who beat Klitschko while making him look worse then he's ever looked (probably in KO losses to) is unlikely to be seen again, but lets not forget he made that sh^t look pretty easy & not very risky at all. I think its entirely possible we could see a 80%+ Fury again & a 80%+ Fury might beat a lot of these mfers around right now including Wilder & Joshua.

          So a "I told you so" is possible, but I think there is a much better chance we see a Fury comeback to some level of his previous form thus it'll just be about how far can a 70% Fury go or a 80% version go or w/e the level he ends up reaching. And since he is still young (turns 30 this year) I think there is some less likely chance we have yet to seen the best Fury, but thats quite the longshot I'd agree.
          Training is such a grind and when your body is treated like he did his, it's never the same. The average person may be able to do that and have a normal life after but we're talking about the kind of demands boxing puts on the body. I believe this huge delay in him even getting remotely close to being in-shape again is due to him finding out how much harder it's going to be for him now.

          Regarding being punched in the throat, I have serious doubts. This happened when he wasn't training, and was deep in his ******* and booze romp. There's treatment for traumatic injury to the throat but coke acts like paint stripper on the throat and some people get permanently damaged from it.

            Fury had an operation to his tonsils I believe and something happened to his vocal chords. Is a good story the coke and fatness reason but the truth is much more simple.

              Looks don't really mean much in boxing man, We don't know how much damage he has done to his body, dont know if the PED'S made him more efficient then he really was..We have to see where he is 3 years later to see if he is even still a contender..

                What PEDs? They found minor traces of nandrolone and he never received a ban and fought twice afterwards. Same with Hughie.

                You have to understand that the reason Tyson was out was because of his mental state. He was never banned.

                His eating habits are far worse. But that's what I'm saying.. he'll have 2-3 easy fights to see where he is before stepping up.

                  Come on bro, how is it unfair? Neither have HUGE draw ability and neither is unified. How about 60/40 AJ in the UK, 50/50 IN THE US?
