One remarked: "Seen this Walter a few times. [He] looks wrong in the ring, he looks uncomfortable and just strange."
Another chimed in: "Literally every fury I've seen boxes in a similar way.
"But each one gets a little bit more s***e. Tyson is an anomaly in that family.
Walter will do well to bounce back from his upset defeat to Zulgis, who has an incredible 59 LOSSES on his record.
Boxing is well and truly in the blood of the Fury family, with Tyson being the most notable fighter of the clan.
Tyson's brothers Tommy and Roman are also part of the pugilist club and are both still among the ranks of the unbeaten.
Walter isn't the only cousin of Tyson's to be involved in the Sweet Science.
Cousins Hughie, James Dean, Nathan Gorman and Horsea Burton are all active professional boxers.
The most famous of Fury's cousins is Andy Lee, who captured the WBO middleweight title in 2014 with a sixth-round KO Matvey Korobov.
