    was watching the Kevin johnson press conference and johnson is listed at 6'3, tyson seemed only 3 or 4 inchs tall so i was wondering is he really 6'9

    I'm not so sure. Bellew is listed as 6'3, Fury recently put a picture on twitter of the two of them and he doesn't look much taller.. but then he's walked right past me before and he's ****ing huge.

    He may be big , but Wilder , Klitscko, stirverne , Perez, Jennings, povetkin , pulev , would beat him badly . he will beat Chisora again but that,s it .

    I'd fancy him against a few of those to be honest with you.

    Wilder seriously needs to step it up and start fighting legit fighters, I'd back Fury to beat him.

    I like to see him fight Wilder! anything can happen at heavyweight.
    he seems like a nice guy .

    There are 2 responses to this:

    A) who really cares ... If he is 6'8 and 1/4 or 6'9 and 1/2? :patsch

    B) he is a gregarious tall guy, who hunches and buckles his knees when posing with smaller guys.

    If you really want to judge his height, Google photos of him with tall guys like 6'7+ Scott Belshaw, Deontay Wilder, Gary Cornish, US basket baller Carmelo Anthony, David Price, Wladimir Klitschko

    On every SINGLE occasion Fury is the taller guy.

    I have met him a few times and he ducks to get under doors every time, so you can draw yr own conclusions.

    But ultimately, does it matter if he is 203, 205 or 207 cm? Boxing isn't a height contest ... As David Price discovered vs Tony Thompson!
