Is Fury the best fighter ever with a horrible physique?

At first glance, you would think, yes.

It would have to be a heavy weight to really be able to put on the pounds and still compere, and Fury was very successful despite his physique. But then again, Fury never really won a major fight when he actually had a horrible physique.

So, it is probably Andy Ruiz Jr. with his win over a prime Joshua.

 

He won Wilder 3, but it was a bad performance compared to Wilder 2 which was when he was in shape.

 

Its Ruiz, he looks like a fat Michelin Man

 

James Toney says hello

 

Close enough to it.

 

When he was younger his physique wasn't too bad for a modern HW, for instance the Cunningham fight. He was carrying a bit and didn't look like Price but he wasn't an obvious slob.
He got fat in various fights like Abel and so on.
But then for Hammer and Chisora and Klitschko he was okay.
What made him look weird later was the skin leftover from the obesity. Even when he just pretty much in shape it never went back. You need surgery to change that.

 

Tim Witherspoon was a pretty good fighter. Larry Holmes wasn’t exactly an Adonis.

 

Erik Morales looked like a holocaust survivor for most of his career.

 

Two Ton Tony might have sparked him tbh

Old Foreman was badass

Tim and Lar were good shout outs

 

Dwight Qawi due to his proportions moreso than his body composition.

James Toney was the first fighter to come to mind for me.

You have some lighter weight guys who werent fat but just look completely unathletic like Donaire and Morales who was mentioned above…

…but honestly, yeah Fury probably takes the cake.

 

Dad bod is the ultimate form

 

I'd much rather have his physique than Andy Ruiz's.

 

Holmes had visible abs until his first retirement. He had a pretty unaesthetic physique, but he was lean-ish throughout his prime.
