And most of them were 200 pounds and 6'-6'2"... Try as they might, how can you hit a man who is eight feet away whenever he leans away from punches?... Like it or not, it's an easier said than done task... When's the last time you saw a near 7'0" heavyweight with great ring generalship and switch hits and has great speed for someone 250+ pounds?... Never... It's a helluva puzzle to figure out, and even a fellow giant (Wladimir) couldn't quite get off on his punches.gilgamesh wrote:You also had Frank Bruno, Shannon Briggs, and David Tua in the 90's all of whom would at least be 50/50 with Fury on their best days and his.RScarf1 wrote:In the early '90s, there was Holyfield, Tyson, Lewis, Ruddock, Mercer, Foreman, Moorer, Morrison, Bowe, and McCall. They all won world titles except for Ruddock. 10 guys and they all would have beaten Fury.
The only men capable of doing anything effective with Fury out of all that listed is Lewis and Bowe. They had the size and the pedigree and the skills. Everyone else is just too small, too old, or simply too inconsistent to be even considered a real threat. Styles is almost everything in this scenario.
