Why are so many posters blaming Fury for his size against USS?

Nothing wrong with padding your record with small guys. A lot of champions do it all the time.

Agree. If he doesn't like it, Cunningham can take his crying ass back down to Cruiserweight.

BJ Flores and the other NBC commentators kept going on and on about size. Cunningham CHOSE to fight at heavyweight, after a couple of losses at cruiserweight. If he's too small for heavyweight, then he should have remained at cruiserweight. This ^. He's a natural CW, so what did he expect?

I just didn't like how it was one of the most blatant rough house tactic I've ever seen to score the KO. Forearm dirtier than Hopkins and Mayweather.

Why blame anyone? The fight didn't really mean anything for Fury. There was almost universal expectation of him winning so for him it was basically a stay busy fight with a sanctioning body upping his ranking As for Cunningham, he wanted to stay at Heavyweight, his own doing

Individually discussing, I thought Fury's health and fitness and health and center was just as important as his dimension this time circular. He dug strong, took the battle to Cunningham and pressured Bob to box at a speed that he found relaxed. Cary Personal Trainer

Reading through the comments made to the front-paper's articles about yesterdays fight between USS and Fury, I noticed, that a lot of this forum's posters do blame Fury for being so big and fighting a smaller fighter in Cunningham. I think it is ridiculous that any poster could make negative statements about weight or size in HW boxing. As far I as remember HW is the division without limitations. You are allowed to be whatever weight or height you like. If you do not like the differences between USS and Fury you should blame USS and not Fury - USS did know exactly what he went into when he entered HW. Peace. Then you're either biased or a fool. And I've just entered the discussion. Having obscene disparity in height, in particular, is a MASSIVE advantage in boxing. If you've got five, six, or seven+ inches of height advantage plus three, four, or five+ inches of reach advantage on somebody it's barely even going to be a fight if the opponents are relatively evenly matched.

look at the size of the atg heavyweights. Size is overrated at heavyweight. The punch resistance is almost the same and you gain much speed by being a smaller man.

it's because of the way that tyson fury was putting his weight on Cuningham. Leaning on Cunningham and hugging him.

People weren't blaming Fury, just stating that's the only reason he won, which it was.

Boxing has the biggest excuse making machine in sports. I sure didn't read any excuse when USS was landing those right hand.

A really great effort by Cunningham....gave Tyson a massive reality check about the need to keep calm, keep his guard-up and show a top fighter the due respect he deserves. But was less impressed by the whole size excuse......heavyweight boxing is a no-limit division, you can be as big and tall as you damn well please, and Fury used his extra poundage, height and reach to good advantage on the night. Personally speaking, I thought Fury's fitness and heart was just as important as his size this time round. He dug deep, took the fight to Cunningham and forced Steve to box at a pace that he found comfortable. Fury's mobility and fierce workrate for such a mammoth man is a warning sign for the K brothers.

BJ Flores and the other NBC commentators kept going on and on about size. Cunningham CHOSE to fight at heavyweight, after a couple of losses at cruiserweight. If he's too small for heavyweight, then he should have remained at cruiserweight. Spot on, and he chose to sign to fight a big heavyweight in Fury.
