I do agree, Fury is outstanding for his size, and may be one of the all-time greats. What he does for a guy his size is quite phenomenal.
I don't subscribe to the saying though that a good or great big man will always beat a smaller guy. If the smaller heavyweight, even as Marciano and Joe Louis, hits like a mule, and has their skill, they can beat giants, such as the size of Fury and Primo Carnera.
Let's look at other y'all big guys with great talent and skill and power, namely Lewis, Bowe, Foreman (more power) and Holmes.
They were great in their primes. I know Bowe only looked prime in the first Holyfield fight, maybe the whole trilogy and the Gonzalez fight, but he had a great jab and a powerhouse. Lewis had it all, just not the greatest chin in those losses, but came back like a champion.
It would be wonderful if Fury had those level of opponents today, because I believe Fury would certainly hold his own and be competitive.
