    How did his body look against Wilder in the first fight? Bet most Fury fans would say incredible shape. 2 lbs heavier, I’ll repeat: 2 lbs heavier.

    He looked flabby. He’s not body beautiful, but he still had thick arms and legs.

    Wallin he was drawn and he had spaghetti arms

    And we are forgetting the horrendous cut. But he rode it out. That’s boxing, cuts happen. Wallin impressed me. He had more will to fight than wlad

    No year later 2015 Stiverne was outboxed by Deontay Wilder. I dont really see big difference 2014 and 2015 version. That would lead me to believe Fury could also outbox him at ease

    That only proves how bad the heavyweight division is now. And he still has to fight Wilder again...a fight I doubt he'll win.

    He could probably beat 2-3 on one night.

    And well done to fury for digging out the win despite a horrific cut. Wallin was there to fight, wlad was terrified

    I am impressed by the courage to say Stiverne might beat Fury. Fury has shown weaknesses here and there, Stiverne is not equipped to exploit any of them.

    Fury could spend a year eating nothing but poutine and drinking nothing but maple syrup and still dance circles around Stiverne.

    LOL, you took one of the toughest opponent to beat in the history of HW division and basing you point on nobody being able to beat Fury?

    How about 1999 year? Lewis was #1, but of all top 10 fighters under him I won't give anybody a chance of beating focused Tyson Fury.

    Would old, small Holyfield beat him? No chance in hell!

    Would shot and short Tyson beat him? Hell, no!

    Would 5'9'' David even land a decent punch on Tyson Fury? I doubt it very much - he would be schooled badly

    Would small and light hitting Crhis Byrd pose a problem for Fury? Nope

    Would Vitali beat Fury? I don't think so - Fury is the worst possible stylistic match up for him

    Michael Grant? Oh, please, that would be a massacre
