    When have you ever seen a 6'9 270lb heavy weight with the moves like fury?

    He dances in the ring like a welter weight

    He will show us his dancing skills after he gets wobbled by the Ukrainian circus bear for 12 rounds.

    Athletic is a term that has lost all meaning thanks to boxing fans.

    Everyone looks athletic when they're boxing nobodys like Hammer and Abell. Wlad will make him look like a slow, clumsy oaf.

    Fury is a like 6'9 version of Rid**** Bowe on the inside. With the outside fightin ability reminiscent of Vitali Klitschko.

    He will soon dance like Zab Judah when he fought Kostya. He will do the Fury version of Zab's chicken dance. it will be nice to watch.

    Best athletic super heavies were Lewis, Klitschko, Klitschko, and Bowe. Fury is a little taller, but he's not nearly as good as they are/were. He's better than Valuev or Lance Whitaker, but there's still a serious gulf between Fury and a great tall athlete like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Wilt Chamberlain, or Bill Russell. I'm not even sure that Fury would beat Buddy Baer, Primo Carnera, Jess Willard, or Ernie Terell in terms of athleticism, strength, speed, and conditioning.

    Yet when an athletic in-shape looking Alexander Ustinov showed up on his door step, he ran inside and shut off the lights and hid behind the couch.:rofl
