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.
biggs was ko'd by just about everyone he fought ,
............after Tyson ruined 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

Tyrell Biggs was a fighter I loved to watch, but he stayed in the amateurs and on the drugs too long.

His management had Biggs doing weights too before the mike tyson fight.

Tyrell says it was around the same time evander holyfield his stablemate was at the weights, so they figured it would help tyrell have strength against iron mike.

Instead he says his legs were too heavy as he was 235 at fight time.

I think bonecrusher represent a huge danger to tyson fury. He was a specimin.even past his peak he was 249 muscular lbs against ruddock.he could persevere and t fury really cannot take a punch too well.wlad had him in trouble in the 12th with a right. I see bonecrusher scoring a brutal kayo in 9
