    Fury would obviously box Thors head off if they fought but its interesting to see them sized up together.
    Same height 6ft 9in.
    Fury weight for Wilder 3 - 125kg
    Thor 5 days ago - 147kg

    Nobody calls Fury a weight bully.
    Probably because the heavyweight division is the king of kings.
    Muscle excerpts more oxygen than fat. So Fury's flabby mid section won't slow him down. In all honesty I have a Fury midsection too so maybe I have a shot at the belts. Seems like the time for the fat man to rule the combat landscape since Ruiz beat Joshua and Fury beat Wlad. In HW MMA Daniel Cormier held 2 titles and his stomach in.

    Muscles don't make fighting men, Fighting men make fighting men.

    Bjornsson is an awful boxer, not even at a low amateur level of skill.

    Could be the angle but considering they're both meant to be 6'9, Fury looks shorter.

    Obviously Thor absolutely sucks at boxing anyway, too stiff and slow. Wonder if he would do better with grappling involved.

    Right statment!

    But it also doesnt mean muscle men are never fighting men. In 2002 the former NFL Football player Bob Sapp proved phsyical strenght can win fights over skill:

    Still hauts many K-1 and Kickboxing fans, but K-1 and Kickboxing Legend Ernesto Hoost was twice not able to stand up against Sapp's pure strenght and power.

    Like i said your statement is true, muscles dont make fighting men. But it also doesnt mean muscle men are never fighting men. And Sapp proved muscle men can be dangerious in fights.

    Thor looks about an extra inch or two taller; I think he’s a legit 6’ 9”, whereas Fury is probably somewhere between 6’ 7” and 6’ 8”. It’s hard to tell for sure though because in the last picture, they look about the same height (Fury maybe even looks slightly taller in this photo), so perhaps the angles are tricking me.

    Hafthor is getting a little extra from footwear

    I would say Fury is 6'7 and hafthor a little under 6'8

    His biggest win in the ring (LOL) . Throws slow arm punches. Hands go low after every punch. He paws with his right jab.
    Etc etc. And his arms are shockingly short.

    I'm no Ray Arcel or Manny Stewart, but I don't think he's ready for Tyson Fury. Maybe an exhibition match would be OK.
    Or against one of the Paul brothers.
