To me it is pretty simple. How much has Fury improved since he fought Steve Cunningham? Because Louis kills that guy.
"Obviously idiotic"? Since forever, hw fighters have shed weight to find the point at which they are optimally efficient. James Jeffries did it,...

If you watch what he is doing there, and read the Haislet book, it is the same thing. Watch how he moves his weight from one foot to the other and...
I don't think that mentioning Yori Boy automatically elevates the level of one's competition. He wasn't very good.
