    He's more like Fury. Loose and flopping around. Ungainly and gangly rather than stiff and robotic.

    Fury would slash BBaer to pieces. Wouldn’t go more than a few rounds and would not be pretty. Some of the top modern giants like Fury were actually highly skilled boxers not big oafs like B Baer Carnera A Simon etc. This type of completion is what made Louis look like Superman. Louis was very very good but never fought a great fighter.

    Admit it, Buddy Baer would beat Fury and Wilder if he were around in 2018
