All the fighters that went the distance with Lewis weren`t as good as Fury and Lewis never fought anyone with a longer reach than him, if Bruno and Mercer could outjab Lewis then what`s he`s going to do against Fury`s jab.
Sure - I’d forgotten Fury had surpassed Holyfield and become an ATG already. Things didn’t end well for Bruno and I doubt Fury has the durability of Mercer. Michael Grant had a reported 86” reach. Things didn’t end well for him, either.
Mercer came close and Bruno was beating him, Fury has a much better chin than Frank had and far better stamina, he could keep Lewis out of reach with a longer jab also.
Holyfield was a lot older than Fury is now when he fought Lews, he didn`t do much after Lewis beat him. Fury is miles better than Bruno, do you really think Frank could have evaded all those right hands from Wilder, then got up after being knocked out cold? Maybe we shouyld ask Jumbo Cummins! Why the hell would Fury use Grant`s tactics, he didn`t exactly utilize the jab did he? He was exposed in the fight before he fought Lewis anyway, Wilder would have destroyed Grant easily, hype job.
Okay I was being simplistic, Lewis improved a lot after Steward took over and hadn`t found his stride by the time he fought Mercer with Manny in his corner, but he was a sucker for the jab though.
