Tyson Fury is looking in very good shape

[p4pking]

How many great HW's have been really ripped? It's almost always the smaller ones that look like bodybuilders, in fact Wlad is probably the most muscular of any super HW who ever reigned at the top long, is anyone else in the discussion even? When you are huge, it's not important and likely is a big detriment to be cutting weight, which makes such a difference in looks obviously.

If you take any fighter from the lighters divisions and talk about how jacked they are, you can bet they would still rather appear average and outweigh their opponent while conserving energy in training.

I would say all great HW were quite ripped in their prime

Not many. In fact, I remember Larry used to look like a poster child for training bras.

Exactly. Ali wasn't ripped, Foreman wasn't, Lewis wasn't, Holmes wasn't, Bowe wasn't, Mercer wasn't, etc. The only two great guys you can really point to in the modern era are Tyson and Holyfield, who were both quite small and used steroids.

Of course! Tyson Fury is a very serious athlete.

No way is that photo not warped in someway. His waist looks almost as thin as mine and then all that muscle further up? It doesn't look normal. Deontay Wilder fair enough, but Tyson Fury? I don't believe it.

[Gandalf]

Well maybe, but something seems odd about that picture.

Perspective, lighting and breathing in. Fury has swung about a bit and was obviously in the best shape aesthetically at this time, but the shot and pose both flatter him even further.
