    If Tyson Fury fought Naoya Inoue, could Fury overcome Inoue's advantages?

    Fury and Inoue are both great fighters, but if we put Fury in the ring with Inoue, P4P wise (which does not work the way most mere mortals think) could Tyson Fury overcome the advantages Inoue has? Both men hit hard, but with Inoue being much the smaller man, he has massive advantages in speed, agility, balance, footwork, and other things because of this, whereas Fury only has a reach advantage, which, in reality, would be negated by Inoue's speed.

    So, could Tyson Fury, against all the odds, beat Naoya Inoue in an open-weight bout? Fury has been at a disadvantage his whole HW career, facing smaller men who should have had speed and agility advantages, including giving up all the advantages to Usyk, in two hotly-debated fights, but would Inoue be a step to far for Fury? Especially given all the advantages Inoue would have for such a matchup?

      if these guys were all the same size Bivol TBud Usyk Naoya and fought

      Naoya would go 1-2

      Naoya folds Usyk to the body

      Naoya gets outboxed by Bivol

      and Naoya gets hurt by TBud

              What a fight that was. Hulk Hogan vs Rocky Balboa. Nash believes that Balboa's resume is highly underrated. Nash out - His Majesty and The Voice of Boxing

                  A 120 pound Fury would lose. At his current weight Inoue would not last two rounds
