    Young had almost 60 fights and was dropped less than half the times Fury has been whilst having almost double the amount of fights as Fury whilst fighting way more notable opposition.

    Here's some of the notable opponents Young fought compared to Fury.

    Ali
    Norton
    Foreman
    Shavers x2
    Cooney
    Dokes
    Page
    Tucker
    Tubbs
    Lyle x2

    And to my knowledge out of all that opposition only Shavers dropped him and that was very early in Young's career when he was green as grass. So that tells us Young was either more durable than Fury or was harder to it or maybe both.

    Peralta could probably make light heavyweight

    Yep.

    To be fair, Young would probably only be a smallish cruiser, rather than a tiny one, so it all evens out.

    Good Lord, Fury is moving into the most overrated heavyweight of all time category...

    Pretty soon his acolytes will have him beating prime Ali 12-0 where the reverse would be true.

    Forman, but it's a good, close fight with Fury slightly up until Foreman catches him late.
