    Is it me or did Fury grow in stature when he started bullying Wilder in there, to my eyes he looked quite a bit taller as well. Let's not forget Wilder is also taller than Lewis.

    I know size isn't everything but it can be a major point in a fight especially when you're used to being the bigger man in near enough all your fights.

    Yes this is true but are his best wins really any better than Fury's?

    If Wilder is labeled as 6ft 7inch then he's a good 6ft8.5 inch sure to god.

    Grant and Akinwande couldn't carry Fury's jockstrap let's be honest. The thing is have we actually seen the best of Fury yet? Him and his brothers don't seem to think so and are claiming you are going to see even bigger improvements now he's training with Sugar Hill.

    I did and I don't see a controversial stoppage tbh, if people want to see them go out flat on their back then fair enough.

    Whether one thinks the decision to stop the fight was made too early or not, the point is Lewis got up and wanted to continue, protesting the stoppage immediately.

    Fighter protesting the stoppage? Is that out of the ordinary like?

    Look, if you want to turn the point that was being addressed into a point about something else, do it with yourself. Get it?

    OK but the point is he was dropped and stopped by McCall, nothing can be said to change that.
