    All I know is if I have to be in a barroom brawl (no guns or knives), I’d like Tex Cobb to be on my side.

    I think there's a few who would out-brawl Fury. Despite his performance this weekend, and last February, Fury's A-game was the movement and bag of tricks he showed vs Klitschko. I think if he attempted to fight how he did vs Wilder against different heavyweights, with a bit more than a nuclear right hand about them, he'd get more than he bargained for. Going toe-to-toe with Bowe and Holyfield is a particularly bad idea IMO.

    But yeah, Fury's attributes of excellent stamina, collosal size and strength with freakish adaptable, recovery and a granite chin make him a torrid task for the majority of heavyweights.

    Someone like Ray Mercer would either give him hell or lose every round IMO, and I can't quite put my finger on which.

    Holy and McClellan were honorable mentions for such, they were just extremely difficult to beat in a brawl, that being said McClellan losing against Benn in my mind is still some kind of freak 1% chance tbh

    Brawling with Holyfield is like wrestling with a pig in the mud. The pig LIKES it. Never a great idea. Bowe is really the only one to do it and come out on top.

    Tyson was not prepared one bit for that fight, so it don't count
