    If Fury had been around in the early part of the 1900 s , how successful or not is the gypsy king?
    Maybe fights with Jeffries ,Burns ,Johnson?
    The avoided black contenders of the time ,how does he fare if he actually faced some of them ?
    Or would Fury be finished and beaten long before a title shot ?/

    I think he would have dominated the division with a undefeated record, until dempsey knocks him out by the time he's old fat and unmotivated

    He would have ruled the division with an iron fist for 20 years and people would call him the GOAT.

    Lest we forget, however, Fury stands on the shoulders of giants himself, namely the guys in the 1900's that pioneered some of the skills that he uses today.

    Also, hedgehogs would only be seen in zoos.

    Even if he was working as a street-sweeper he would have been dug up by the white-hope mob.
