The 'casual' patter has to be the absolute worst when it comes to boxing,
It literally says you having nothing else to say.
It's the 'fake news' of boxing fans.

But no I wouldn't say Mayweather ran.. he would always slip in and out of range, avoiding punches through the best defence most of us have ever seen, rolling punches, being cute on the inside. He'd mix it up.
His early career he was an aggressive fighter too.
Fury used his size and long arms to keep Klitschko at bay, while circling him on the edge of the ring.. barely engaging with him.
Huge difference.
Just need to look at his earlier fights to see he's not all that defensively when he actually engages with his opponent. Been tagged by loads of people and dropped by Cunningham. Nearly got dropped by Firtha who hadn't trained for the fight.
I'm not saying he's a bad boxer, but he's certainly not as good as some folk are making out.
Fury's enough dropped a lot of weight already gotta have dropped 1-2 stone already
first few are the easiest though
Fury is now free to resume his boxing career after reaching an agreement with UKAD.

He just needs to regain his boxing licence now.

He does, although he'd probably argue that he doesn't to beat the current heavyweight champions. Hopefully he does get himself into shape and we see him in the ring again soon. He's (unsurprisingly) already called out Joshua so it'll be interesting to see what 2018 holds for the division.

agree, we got Wilder, Parker, AJ, Fury... I'd imagine AJ vs Parker in March, then its down to Hearn to figure out which fight makes the most money for AJ next....
gives Fury time to have get in the ring and get a fight under his belt before hand.
in an ideal world, I'd like to Wilder vs Fury also, maybe the winner could face AJ vs Wilder - but we all know that can't happen!
pity really PPV and purse arguments have boxing the sport by the knackers
Wonder how they'll get him back to the championship matches. I'm assuming he'll need at least 1 tune-up fight. Maybe even a bum to knock out and then a more challenging fight to get some rounds in.
I reckon they'll try and build up over time with the hope of the massive UK fight as the end point:
1st half of 2018
AJ v Parker
Wilder v some US no-hoper
Fury v some European no-hoper
2nd half of 2018
AJ v Wilder
Fury v serious tune-up fight
1st half of 2019
AJ/Wilder v Fury
Great to see Fury back but I think that Fury vs AJ is still well off, if it even happens at all. Can see Fury struggling on his return. Maybe even a shock defeat to some bum is on the cards, just have that feeling. Really strongly actually.
He's been out for a long time and I don't think he looked after himself at all in that time. That will take it's toll, don't care who you are.
At 29 he still has time on his side but I'm just really sceptical that we'll ever see the Fury that beat Klitschko that night.
I had the same niggling doubts Superb, but the one thing that will aid him is his age, he's still young in boxing terms, and has another 4-5 years max before previous effects will take it's toll seriously. Might wince at some body shots to begin though.
But Fury is very under rated and is very naturally gifted which is also what he has going for him, as opposed to say AJ who is not a naturally gifted fighter.
Will be interesting, will need 2-3 fights first, sure he'll get critics for it but he HAS to have 2-3 warm up fights in the space of about 6 months. Hatton has been in his ear too and Hatton would of told him the same, i still believe he'd have won that comeback fight if he'd had a warm up first, the only thing he was lacking was accuracy and timing with his shots which would of come with a tune up and it's not the time to be needing that timing/accuracy against a tough world opponent.
I imagine 2019 will be AJ v Fury
Easy warm up fight
Then a slightly tougher one, maybe Price or David Allen? Little all english class
Then a Browne/Charr/Briggs
Then a Wilder/AJ
If he's planning on a comeback in around April/May he needs to fight say
April/May
July/Aug
Oct/Nov
Then a big one in March 2019
Fury's win against Christian Hammer, from February 2015, has been officially overturned to a 'no contest' as part of the UKAD settlement. Crucially, Fury's standout victory that ended Wladimir Klitschko's world heavyweight title reign in November 2015 will not be affected because "no adverse" findings were discovered in any of his seven drug tests after February 2015, according to UKAD.
