    Dont get me wrong i like and respect Fury,hes great for the sport but he doesnt have a high enough workrate nor the concussive power to keep Tua honest

    Ruiz fought better v AJ than Tua did in any of his fights and no way could Tua outpoint Wilder because of his reach, no way would a fighht between Tua and Fury be as close as Wilder v Fury, Tyson really didn`t land much on Wilder and got caught by counter jabs, Tua could not counter jabs and had no jab of his own.

    The only fighter I see beating Tua decisively is Tyson Fury because of his boxing skills and reach.

    Tua was used to fighting tall guys and he knew how to get inside them. I can see Wilder possibly betaing Tua but I would make Tua the favorite.

    You try dancing around the ring dodging left hooks from a determined Samoan for twelve rounds.

    Tua never beat a good tall fighter.

    Fury is a master at slipping shots.

    Tua was a very good fighter. It did bug me that he hit Shame Cameron when he was down with two punches. I thought that kind of warranted a DQ. Anyone else think that was worthy of a DQ?

    Maskaev? Rahman? Moorer? Oquendo? Ruiz?

    All 6'2" and up.

    Against whom, though? An old, gun-shy, scared-shitless Wlad? A flailing windmiller in Wilder?

    When did he slip punches from a freight train with ATG power throwing short compact hooks like a prime Tua for 12 straight rounds? Ah, right...never.

    You know he meant tall for HW. 6'2" is not that. None of those guys were tall for HW.

    Wilder is better than Tua and just as powerful, his reach is hard to evade.

    Tua is 5'10". Mike Tyson 5'11". 6'2" is the ground floor of "tall for a heavyweight", if we're calling average somewhere around 6'1".

    Big O and the Rock are both 6'3".

    None of those guys were as good as Fury, they were all far easier to hit and didn`t have Fury`s reach or long jab.

    If he fought all five in a prime for prime gauntlet there is zero chance I'm putting a red cent on Fury going 5-0.
