Primo Carnera was a bum FFS, I'll outline the difference for all the halfwits in the thread. With the modern nutrition and training techniques, these guys aren't your slow, unskilled Lurch'es anymore, they're athletic, they have the skill and that's why they dominate heavyweight boxing today.
I don't want to say those kind of argument mean nothing, but they don't mean much. Ali was decked by Banks and Cooper before his first title fight. His best pre title fight opponent was probably Doug Jones. Most ringside observers thought he lost that match. He was still the greatest hw of all time arguably (h2h to that point, and in resume of all time). Fury still won his fights. His advantages won out, just as Ali's. And these one off struggles show a lot less about him than his successes do.
Furys nutrition isn't one of his strong points to be fair, doubt his team have much clue about it, they don't employ a nutritionist as far as I know.

I'm not but of course you'll just think I'm lying. Try to focus on the posts and the discussion at hand please.
Do you know that people have been getting taller and taller and more athletic (just look at the olympics records), what do you attribute this growth to?
