    It’s clearly more wise to have ALL the possible evidence in on a fighter.

    Certainly ALL the evidence is on Liston, why not Olek also?

    For arguments sake, what if Fury sinks a good body shot into Olek, putting him down for the 10 count?

    Obviously that would make a big difference to some peoples perception of this fantasy match.

    There are numerous other potential scenarios (that might play out against Fury) that could easily and legitimately be factored into this particular fantasy match against Liston.

    Baulking on the potential factoring of the complexion and outcome of the Fury fight actually illustrates the very limited windows that people are happy with to assess the current modern fighters by.

    Affording ATG status and H2H success is flimsily based these days. Calculated more on paper than by material achievement upheld against as many varied opponents as possible over a longer period.
