    Exactly. U can’t trust pictures in a modern digital world. It’s too bad “The Tale of the Tape” isn’t still around, though I doubt it was ever legitimate, Id need to see it with my own eyes. With so much betting money at stake ud think we’d get to see fighters reach and height measured on camera. I mean how many varying heights have u heard commentators claim Mike Tyson was? They let Andy Ruiz wear a jersey and a Sombrero to his last weigh in to hide his weight. What a joke. Fighters listed heights often don’t seem to mesh when u see them stand face to face to their opponents. Canelo listed at 5’9” in his last fight?! Top fighters not willing to get on the scale on fight night, despite constantly talking about “too small” or “too big”. I think any fighter saying they are coming in “Heavy” on purpose is just stating an old boxing joke. Nobody ever takes a body fat test to prove it. We deserve more, these guys should be poked and prodded.

        Valid point but I still feel Fury has turned a corner.

        Its like in the Ruiz/Joshua rematch Steve Bunce the ex fighter and turned BBC boxing pundit claimed in pre fight camps that he had seen Ruiz up close and he was in better condition than the first fight. Admittedly must of seen him with a top on.

        Hence I got taken in by this as well and trusted Bunces view which was clearly wrong. Admittedly he apologised in a later podcast saying he got it wrong .Like you said you cant trust no one

          I still maintain Ruiz was in better shape than the first fight. His neck looked a lot more solid, his stomach was definitely tighter than their first fight too. Folks like Hunter straight up confirmed how hard both he and Ruiz were working in sparring with each other and how they were training exactly for the style AJ brought.

              Fury is in the shape of his life. BumSquad's in big trouble, he lost to a blatantly unfit version of Fury last time, i dread to think what's gonna happen this time.

              Fury via destruction.

                      Ruiz has skills but he still didnt look in good shape for either fight though.Looked like a walrus.
