    Aj also wouldn't be a top fighter if he wasn't 6'6 and had a whole team of scientists feeding him 'supplements'

    Nah I disagree WIlder has skills... remember Sugar Nikolai Valuev? Tye Fields? they had 0 coordination , no skills... just height. if you shrunk Tyson down he would probably be 2x as fast, thus making him even better. think about that. even Billie Joe Saunders said that Fury's speed is just as fast as his.

    If Shaq had only been 6'5 he wouldn't be as good either. To be fair!

    His balance and coordination etc would be better if you shrank him to 6'4"

    If he had different physical attributes, he would fight differently.

    Now let's imagine he was a couple of inches shorter, much lighter and had a dynamite right hand. He'd be able to use those attributes going forward or back, because of his ring IQ. Fury would never be a one-trick pony. He's a boxer, not an athlete with gloves on....

    Even at 6'9'' and 270lbs he's by far the most skilled, slickest and best boxer in the division, with the exception of Usyk that is.

    How many 6'9" boxers can slip on roll with shots on the inside like Fury?

    How many boxers of any size switch from orthodox to southpaw and back again with such ease?

    How many can get caught flush like he has vs Cunningham and Wilder and get back up and fight on like they were not even hit?

    Exactly. Shrink Fury down and he’s even faster, more skilled and more elusive. As it stands he’s still by far the most complete and skilled fighter in the HW division.

    "If Ivan Calderon was 6'9", he would blow over when the air conditioning clicked on."
