| The man needs some serious time in the gym |
Seriously people, the guy is huge. In case you haven't seen recent pictures, supersized heavyweight - or is it former heavyweight? - Tyson Fury has got himself looking like the Good Year Blimp. That's (hopefully) not me being mean spirited, it just is what it is. Still, the Englishman is telling people he's coming back. Not only that, he plans on reestablishing himself as king of the heavyweight division. That's all well and good, of course, but the guy hasn't fought since he stunned Wladimir Klitshcko almost two years ago. What's more, Fury has had his share of troubles since that time.
Look, I like Fury. I admit it. No, I don't like everything he says and does. I don't care for it when he showcases a bullying attitude. In fact, I think Klitschko might have actually beaten the man had he not let Fury get inside his head. Still, Fury is a colorful dude and there's a lot to admire about the guy. He's come up from nothing and became the big man among big men - albeit for a short time. He also possess a vastly underrated skill set. If he were to somehow return to the form he was in the night he bested Klitschko, I think he would offer all sorts of trouble for Anthony Joshua.
Yet it's hard to take Fury at his word these days. He sounds serious, true, but will he stick to his guns? Here's hoping so. Things are damn exciting right now at heavyweight and the edition of Fury will only make them more so. Besides, I want to see who ends up being king of the mountain when the dust settles. And if Fury isn't a part of the equation, questions of what might have been will float around indefinitely.
