    Morrison would look small compared a lot of modern heavies, he was shorter than Usyk and wasn`t that chiseled.

    He was good against Foreman so he has experience when it comes to beating and out boxing fat out of shape guys

    See I don't normally get personal but only beta soy boy males call Big George fat and out of shape then try and compare Fury to him.

    You've tried to insult two of the most loved boxers of all time and fell flat on your face just to try and make a point about how Morrison could deal with Fury? cool.

    The fact a heavyweight from the 70's born in the 40's was handling a heavyweight from the 90's is all you need to know.

    Despite my beta soy boy antics at least I don’t worship a drugs cheat.

    Hate to break it to you the 90's was a prime roid usage era. Now they have to eat horse and boar meat to get their kicks.

    Lets start with the easiest marks for Fury here.
    Morrison is his easiest mark, Tommy only has the gas tank for a few rounds of offensive brilliance with the massive Fury running into him and meeting him head on my guess is Tommy goes in under 5 the shear size and physicality of Fury crumbles Morrison.

    Moorer might be tricky for a bit as he’s a cute southpaw but he’s too small and too chinny to not be inevitably stopped at some point in the fight. Fury ko8.

    Ruddock. I think Razor may buzz and even drop Fury if he connects full Thunder with his smash but I see Fury recovering and giving Razor a boxing lesson down the stretch of a fun competitive at times fight that Fury clearly wins on points.

    Mercer - Ray is a tough guy Fury won’t stop
    Or even hurt him but he will clearly out point him. Damiani was boxing absolute circles around Mercer before Ray broke his nose with one shot late. Ray became a much better boxer later on in his career. But Lewis chose to bang inside and out fight Mercer which made that fight so close. And when Mercer fought spiritly against Holyfield he wore down late in that fight and was dropped and beaten by a couple rounds, so I guess Fury could maybe get to him late but I still think he just outboxes him. W12.

    Golota - this would be a wild brawl. As long as we’re using the Golota of the two Bowe fights who took a ton on punishment and kept coming. But honestly as I sit here typing I realize Fury is going to mentally undress him in there. Golota had all the tools but not the right mindset often. Fury tko11.

    Yes, sorry but have to say Fury is slightly quicker than Foreman and was far harder to hit than Tommy when he beat Wlad, Fury would have toyed with the older Foreman.

    Holyfield was a drug cheat.

    Was pretty small for a HW and got beaten up by an old George Foreman.

    He didn`t get beaten up he was completelty out-boxing Foreman until the last round when he was stopped by a right hand, Fury doesn`t have one punch KO power.

    He walked face first into a trap Foreman spent the entire fight setting up, that his corner ultimately saw coming and warned him about. Yet he still was tricked into it. My opinion of him drops some due to that.

    No, Foreman only started setting that shot up in the last round, he was being out-classed berfore that.

    Not that specific shot. This explains it well:
