    I think he would too. Too skilled, too versatile, too big, too good. Just imo.

    Maybe, but I wouldn't bet on it.

    Stylistically, Iron Mike would give Fury issues. Good stamina and a relentless body attack are what you need against him.

    Foreman as a slugger matched up well against that type of fighter.

    Its not inconceivable

    Mike could quite easily get frustrated against a fighter like Fury and just lose all composure

    Easy

    Even if Mike had the best stamina in the world, which he didn't , it's still never enough to maintain that peek-a-boo style, extremely energy intensive.

    Fury slows him down then he's a sitting duck for the second half of the bout. Walks onto everything he dares to try and get close.

    Fury has a field day with him in the mental department also.

    Haye beat a beast of 300 pounds and 7 feet tall like Valuev, why couldnt Mike beat Fury?

    Tysons body shots would make Fury **** out his liver afterwards.

    You're a bad person for even thinking this is a legitimate answer.

    If you didn't notice Fury has proportionally a large amount of his fat reserves around his torso. Mike's body shots bounce off.

    Holmes was the most skilled fighter beaten by Tyson and you should know he Is one of the 5 best HWs ever.

    Yeah and he was 150 years old. Ortiz's great grandad at the time.
