    The problem is that none of them can keep mike from getting inside and shattering that chin.
    From all the big guys post Lennox I give Wlad the best chance style wise but he would get caught for sure.
    Vitali with his hands down would get tagged a lot as well but is best favoured to make the distance.

    Fury got beat up by cunningham and struggles with a smaller, quicker guy. He get tko'd or loses a clear ud.

    Wilders gets ko'd early and AJ gets caught and stopped as well.

    Cunningham is 191cm (6'3") same height as Frank Bruno...

    Sure Fury had difficulty with "the smaller" Cunningham. But smaller is relative to Fury, and in that case Mike would be tiny.

    Like literally, it wouldn't be a fair fight. Mike is way too small

    Fury would beat Mike Tyson.

    Fury's almost a foot taller, has a great jab, and can fight on the inside.

    I dont see it sorry. Mike tyson wouldnt lose to Valuev or primo carnera bevause they were so tall.

    Jaco, bigs and Ribalta were 6 ft 6 type guys.
    Fury is 6 ft 7,5 not 6ft 9.
    Of course he is better than them but nobody is beating 88 Tyson because they are bigger.

    Sure, they need to have the ability too.
    It's obviously not just height. But we are talking about an elite fighter in Fury here, not Jaco, Biggs and Ribalta.

    You'll notice 5'10" Mike would usually come in heavy against these taller fighters. He outweighed both Jaco and Ribalta. When he started giving up both height and weight he ran into problems. Though admittedly he made short work of Biggs, but again Biggs never really reached great heights.

    Add in the narrowing skill gap and you have a mismatch against Fury. Mike Tyson is an ATG, but this is fantasy land stuff. He would get crushed by Fury.

    Mike folds like a deck chair
    He would be lucky to beat Joshua and Wilder let alone Fury
