    I’m very much liking your call on the complexion and outcome also.

    I particularly like the efficient “gathering” and processing of information for optimal reactive strategy/execution for maximum yield. Damn, makes Joe sound like The Terminator or RoboCop - very cool.

    Joe’s first analytical LCD read out might be:- “Very Big = Very Good = Very Doable. Multiple historical matches. Call up Carnera, Baer and Simon blue print strategies, integrate same and customise accordingly to the minor nuances of current Behemoth at hand.”

    Haha absolutely. Joe really just was that Mother F'er though.

    Imagine... IMAGINE. The combinations Louis could land. Fury's hand speed and power are two very obvious things Louis will not respect, and Louis counter-punching will quickly become flurries of devastating brown bombs. Fury's chin may handle a bronze bomb or two each round from Wilder, but what about a round-by-round carpet bombing from the original brown bomber himself? Louis couldn't help himself to T off against big men. Fury can run but he cannot hide.

    You have some great points, Louis was far superior jabber, I only wonder how much of an advantage Fury's size might have here..... Also, I didn't think Fury would win the jab battle here, due to skill disparity, but believed the size difference may make it more competitive than one might think... What you stated, however, makes this seem like less of an issue and I think you are right.... Personally, I believe Dempsey's constant pressing and unpredictable movement would confuse the bigger man (who never fought anyone who understood the value of body punches) and give him more of an edge, but I honestly believe both Louis and Dempsey would emerge victors here.
