It felt like such an unfashionable opinion I thought I might as well at least let them have Biggs. But yes, a 6'5'' guy who can crumple Snipes heavily with one shot and have Bowe reeling is going to take Fury to war. Also, he took 7 rounds of Mike Tyson so it's a given Tyson Fury can't hurt him.
The Biggs that I first watched against David Bey, would not have been so easily beaten by Gary Mason or even Lennox Lewis.
He was badly cut in a close fight against a solid opponent in a fight that pretty much would determine the course of his career, and he pulled out the ko against a durable guy. (ironically, in hindsight, losing on a cuts stoppage might have been better for him)
i liked biggs but he was rushed in to the tyson fight a bit to early if my memory is correct
