    Ali was dumped by Sonny Banks and Henry Cooper.

    Fury has top end size and range and great quicks for a man possessing those attributes. Sonny's rather plodding feet would consistently be behind pace and he would be taking a lot of fire for his pursuit.

    In his early fights when he was inexperienced and those were champions and much better than anyone Fury faced!
    Wasn't Fury dropped by CW Cunningham and wasn't he knocked by one handed brawler called Wilder?
    Still Liston had better reach,jab and punch!
    Fury wasn't slow but he is not fast he is same speed as Liston!

    Sonny Banks was champion? Of what? Heavyweight Champ of Detroit?

    Banks and Cooper were better than Wlad Klitschko? By how much? A lot? Cuz last I checked Wlad controlled the heavyweight division for longer than anyone not named Louis or Holmes?

    Does your list go 1)Louis, 2) Holmes, 3) Banks, 4) Cooper? If so, that is solid.

    Wasn't Cooper 6-1, 185 with a 75" reach. I believe the Imperial measurements of Cunningham were 6-3, 83" reach at 210 pounds. Who was a cruiserweight?

    Liston had a reach longer than 85"???

    They were better!Banks was champion of his state and top contender back that and wasn't that early Clays fight when he was green and who won?
    Cooper was champ for so long time and defeated many good names!
    Yes they were!Klitchko controled division?
    Which division wasn't that the most boring and weakeat division and wasn't he beaten by some bum Ross Purity whom Morrison and Rahman beat?
    Corrie Sanders was who?
    Brewster was good puncher but defeated so many times and wasn't very good!
    And ehat about Fury and Joshua losses?
    Cooper was 190 for rematch and Ali was at his lightest!
    You don't need to lie according to boxrec and wiki Cooper is 6ft 2 with 75 inch reach!
    Cunningham was cruiser!Bob Foster was 6ft3 with 80 inch reach but was still natural LHw like Cunningham was natural cruiser!
    Longer hands!
    Fury is maybe wider but Liston had bigger hands in every way!

    dude if cunningham fought in the 60 he would be considered a mutant. He is sub 10% bf, back in the days many hw where super fat and would be lhw and some smw by todays standart.

    Is there a point above besides putting your lunacy on display? Does one statement, when even decipherable have any logical flow or connection to the next statement? What does "Yes they were!Klitchko controled division?" even mean? Do you even know or have any vague concept how it is relative to the discussion?

    Complete gibberish.

    Wlad was undefeated for 10 years whilst facing top contenders. I don't know how many heavy champs that could be said about. Perhaps you can inform me. Use simple, short declarative sentences so that I can follow. I am excited to be enlightened and don't want to squander this opportunity.

    I believe that Cunningham weighed 210 at the weigh-in for Fury. Do you possess other data that is contrary? Simple question, really.

    What is trying to be proved here? That Fury had shorter reach than Liston because Liston had bigger hands? Isn't that counterintuitive if not just contradictory?

    Thanks for playing.
