How close would Fury be to Ali's speed and reaction times with a similar body fat %?

    Assume prime Fury had managed to healthily reduce his body fat to the same level as a prime Ali's.

    How would his speed and reaction time on film compare to Ali's?

    Part of the reason I posted this is that I'd seen a claim made somewhere on BF24 that someone had actually calculated reaction times on film for Fury and Ali, finding them similar. Never saw a source, though. Still, an interesting enough idea to be worth exploring in a thread.
