    lol the ½ inch might not seem that significant but it makes a huge difference

    Prime Tyson would KO AJ early. If old Povetkin could easily penetrate his defense early a more explosive Tyson would wreck him.

    The taller the better, as long as you still have ok coordination. Look at wilder fury.

    Hes on his own though Tyson, undersized but still lethal enough for the big men. Tyson would decimate him regardless of size difference

    Lol Fury is 6'7. Wilder is 6'6. Neither of them are skilled or anything else.

    Your point is? The heavyweight division is in the toilet. Also who did Fury beat? A old Wladimir Klistchko? Whom himself got knocked out his prime by guys 6'1 to 6'3.

    you guys need to get real. Height is just so important in this sport. It was the deciding factor why fury won against wlad and wilder. If he would be 2 inches smaller booth this guys would have koed him.

    And wlad was anything but in his prime when he fought brewster. I think this was only his 2 fight with steward as a trainer.
