    Disagree, you are putting too much stock into size when Opetaia is naturally 225 pounds, he cuts down. Usyk wasn't knocking out guys like Opetaia at cruiserweight despite being bigger than most of his opponents, never hurt Briedis like Opetaia did and couldn't drop aj once. Usyk is the superior boxer but some distance but Opetaia is elite and handled 6'6 hard hitting Jordan Thompson like he was nothing

    Uhh yeah, Fury arguably lost to a fighter with a record of 0-0-0, then that same 0-0-0 fighter gor sparked the F out by a guy who got a severe beating from a guy who was three feet shorter and had a gut that was three feet wider.

    No to both

    Fury's skill is not that great relative to size

    It's only ever impressive because of how big he is

    His skill is literally only great relative to his size lol, no other 6’7 265 lbs man can box like that.
