    Not compared to cruisers like David Haye and Muhammad Ali but against modern super heavyweights yes. Best of all time.

    As the OP began... Given his height and weight makes it even more remarkable
    I agree Fury is at least one of the best HWs in overall mobility. Speaking of Ali...

    This morning on YT Cassius Clay (at that time) vs Billy Daniels came up on my feed and I watched it. It was funny hearing Don Dunphy say they were big, big HWs :D Had to be based more on height than weight - even in that era. Clay 6'3 196, Daniels 6'4 189. This was hardly a full CW bout but back then they were HWs. This is pre prime Ali. Daniels had his moments but lost on cuts. My point? Here we have two skinny - given their height - fighters, 75-80 lbs lighter than Fury and they hardly moved any better than prime Fury.

    Take the rose colored glasses off when you watch these old time HWs... especially Clay uhhh Ali.
