    Ajagba is the perfect choice to replicate wilder

    Comparing their shoulder height, I think a 3 inch difference isn't far off. Ajagba is standing a couple feet in front of Fury if you look at their feet.

    I don't think it's a big deal though. Fury and Ajagba are tall. Fury is a bit taller. Whatever.

    This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, lol. I guess that’s why you’re mentioning it; wilder might foam at the mouth if he loses, and this will be part of the myriad of excuses.

    Although I will say it's pure comedy gold on your part associating Wilder with another African American that probably shares several degrees of cultural & social separation with DW. You can't be from the US.

    Ajagba is a very good partner (reach and length), not sure why Jared Anderson is there (although an excellent prospect), unless simply to give him rounds. He fights nothing like Wilder nor does he have the same dimensions. He should bring in Gerald Washington and Charles (the god) Martin and have him spar orthodox. Get some long lanky guys in there with him.

    Fury is 6'7½. He has never hit 6'9 and probably 6'7¾ on his best day

    He's clearly got at least 2 inches on Efe right there. If these guys were 5'8" that 2 inches would look like a larger difference but 2 inches on guys who are 6 and a half foot tall doesn't look as significant.

    I agree with @McGrain that Fury just needs good work, irrespective of style. He already knows how Wilder fights, so it's a matter of getting himself in shape and sharp.

    It's Fury's fight to lose, but to be clear he can lose it.
