    Watch some of his earlier fights. Even the Purrity bout which he loses for gassing out the guy moves incredibly well for 6'6 245

    Lewis was very agile earlier in his career.

    Anthony Joshua has a decent amount of agility for a man his size.

    Stylistically, I’ve heard that Fury approximates more closely to the wombat - he eats, roots, shoots and leaves.

    As to nipples, I’ve not noticed since I haven’t beheld his Adonis like body for too long at any given time - as it makes me feel grossly inadequate.

    BIG JOHN TATE mentioned previously is a good shout.

    For men that looked out of shape that fit the criteria of the question. Mathis Sr, Fury, and Tubbs
    All 3 men were surprisingly light on their feet for their size.
    Tucker and Lewis were surprisingly quick on their feet in the beginning of their careers.
    Tyrell Biggs was very smooth with his movements early in his career. ( So much wasted potential)
