    If you are saying Fury looks like Wepner and Lewis looks like Terrell 70 years ago then I agree.

    How do think Fury and Lewis look 70 years ago then? Don't you think as tall as they were they would need to train in those gyms under those trainers using the equipment of the time and training for the duration of the fights back then?

    How, without modern training, do you suppose Lewis and Fury training for a fight 70 years ago wind up looking 250lb??

    Fury is a lard arse and looks exactly like he would 70 years ago after shedding weight for a fight. In all likeliness he would be even bigger back then as he wouldn't be using PED's to help strip fat.

    How come so many of the 6'6" guys pre 1980 were not so heavy as the enhanced oafs of today then? Jack Doyle, buddy Baer, Pettifer, Alongi, vingo, Terrell, Hoff, wepner???
