    Fury is indeed taller than Wilder, since he is 6’7”, which is taller than Wilder and Buddy, who are both 6’5”. Buddy on the other hand has an 84 inch reach while Wilder has an 83 inch reach. As I’ve said before you have to take listed heights with a grain of salt.

    I’ve only met a handful of fighters who’s listed height were consistent with their actual height or for that matter athletes at all. Even Wlad was only 6’4”, but for years was listed at 6’6”, but he would go as far to even wearing lifts, which wasn’t uncommon in the old days either.

    Also, it’s laughable saying that Buddy wouldn’t last one round with Wilder when he fought and beat better competition than Wilder and if guys like Pianeta or a greenhorn like Wallin can go the distance with Fury it’s crazy to think a more experienced and proven fighter like Buddy wouldn’t be competitive. Wilder and Fury don’t exactly have deep resumes.
