    Mike is used to fight taller people and is a great example of how to do so. No doubt he's a danger to Fury and I can see him causing troubles, but I still see Fury winning a hard battle. He's technical and fast enough and his size 6'9 (see him barefoot next to 198/6'6 Ajagba in boxing shoes: [url]201178777_852281322040169_8181299518927837301_n.jpg (720×1254) (fbcdn.net)[/url]; or see him next to 206/6'9 Hafthor: [url]0_tyson-thor-2.jpg (615×712) (dailystar.co.uk)[/url]) in a combination of with rest becomes too much for Mike, especially if Fury can make it through the first 5-6 rounds where Mike will give most of his gas to Fury's body which is a danger to every fighter due to the speed and the power of Mike.

    He had faster hands than anyone Fury has fought, great body puncher too, Ruddock hit harder than Fury does.

    Tyson would have destroyed Cunningham in the 1st round.

    Mike`s IQ in the ring was off the charts, D`Amato knew more about boxing than Fury will ever know.

    Mike was a faster combo puncher than Fury or anybody Fury ever fought and Tucker was 6`5 and defeated Buster Douglas who had an 83 inch reach, Tucker had an 82 inch reach, no other boxer in history scaling 5`10 could have beaten Tucker in 87.

    Wait, so you weren't joking, and despite how he needs to be on his tiptoes next to a 6’9 Bjornsson, and he is about clearly one inch shorter than Price and his himself telling Wallin he is 6’7, you say he is 6’9 because with a baseball cap sitting high on top of his head, he looks like (to you, anyway) to be taller and than Wilder by two full inches?

    Hm, okay.

    Both Fury and Wilder are 6'7 and you can tell that they are exactly as tall as the other:

    Also, don't forget that Fury has a tendency to wear high platform shoes. Look at the size of those shoe soles compared to the shoes Wilder has on - and STILL they look like they are at the exact same height:

    Fury likes to wear this white high platform shoe when he is out and about:
    [url]https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/tyson-rock.jpg?width=735[/url]

    But when he has normal shoes on, he is exactly as tall as Wilder. And once again: how can anyone ignore he himself said to Wallin he was 6'7?

    For the record, I think Fury is 6'7"

    But he says here he's 6'9"

    That Fury is on camera saying he's two different heights should surprise nobody though, classic Fury, and shouldn't surprise someone that he's the shorter height he's given.

    Heights get notoriously inflated in the entertainment industries. That is well known.

    Absolute horse raddish

    Fury has trained under multiple trainers taking knowledge from all including Manny steward. Fury can fight many different styles which is unique. Mike was muscle memory Fury is a natural fighter.

    4 rounds for Fury to make Mike wish he fighting a stiff who lost before the fight begun.

    This video with Jason Momoa is a great one though. It's one of the best examples of Fury's public persona/agenda and how he is really not 6'9. When this was recorded, Fury was aware that the cameras were around them so he deliberately lied and said he was 6'9. Jason Momoa is 6'4 and he estimated Fury to be 6'6. When Fury answered he was 6'9, you could clearly tell from Momoa's genuine surprise that he was thinking "wow, no way you are 5 inches taller than me, mate". Just look at the video when they hug or look at this picture: [url]https://ewrestling.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/01-tyson-fury-jason-momoa-wwe-crown-jewel-2019.jpg[/url]

    There's absolutely no way Fury is 5 inches taller than Momoa. Absolutely no way.

    But the Wallin conversation was a private one, which was not supposed to be heard by others. In fact, Wallin tells him "you're not six foot nine" to which Fury shakes his head, agreeing, and when Wallin asks him "how tall are you", Fury responds 6'7.

    I mean how can anyone claim Fury is NOT 6'7 after all this? The man said himself, there is the video next to a legit 6'9 Bjornsson, there are the pictures next to David Price, Magic Johnson, there's the video with him talking to Wallin... The "Fury is 6'9" cult is eerie as it gives a direct insight into how fanaticism works.
