Tyson Fury is an incredible athlete.

He made the right choice being a boxer

Yeah but he wanted the shortest path to CTE and killing himself in an uncontrollable rage

Agreed, but I mean he’s from the UK so he didn’t really choose to not play football, but I was just trying to make the point that he is as incredible of an athlete as NFL and NBA players.

He's built like Humpty Dumpty

Like a refrigerator on stilts

6'9 with a 7 foot wingspan would probably get him signed to some lower levels but he would probably get bodied in the NBA with how skinny his legs are

He's built like the Michelin Man but i would dare not say it to his face.

More than anything Tyson Fury shows how boxing has declined in the U.S. especially among heavyweights. I believe a lot of guys who are playing high-level college basketball but who will never be NBA players could with proper training become heavyweight champs.

Fury couldn't have been a left tackle with those chicken legs.

You’re focusing on the wrong sport, champ. All of the great athletes boxing is missing out on is playing football not basketball. After all, Deontay Wilder himself was a former football player who was able to get to the top just on athleticism and sheer determination alone. There’s also a lot more overlap in terms of the athletic attributes required to be a successful football player with boxing than there is between basketball and boxing.

Have you seen this dude? He has skinny bird legs. Unless he is gaining 50 lbs in his legs, he is not playing pro ball of any kind.
