Larry Holmes of 1980 would have Fury eating a sledge hammer left jab. By the end of the first round in every title bout I ever saw him in, Larry's left bicep was swollen and filled with blood lubricating his joints to throw that piston like jab. He definitely would throw more punches than Fury and that right cross would make Fury shut up. He also-has better balance and Larry always did better when he was rushed as though he was an underdog. Larry by UD or late KO. Larry ill not through four punches a round and he rarely cliched unless he was grabbed by an opponent.
.. I respect your analysis of his skill. Not your favorite person...i can understand.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
