    I feel Fury`s ability to exploit his height and reach would be a huge problem for any fighter under 6'3, so which of these former champs could Fury have outboxed?

    A lot of them.
    Stiverne and Chagaev come to mind.

    Fury actually struggles with shorter boxers, as he said himself.

    However, those are very good short boxers. Why didn't you ask who could beat him instead? There's loads that he could beat.

    Mark’s threads are becoming more absurd.

    he was banned from Facebook and struggling to find a coping mechanism! Hopefully the new medication will work!

    I think Fury`s long jab would be a problem for any heavyweight of a much shorter size.

    I think Fury can do what AJ done with a bit more style.

    He would have been highly successful against most of them, but some would have taken his measure.
