all things considered equal, its just another attribute that could work for a fighter and might not. Plenty of big men have been crushed by smaller men. Even a few months back Joshua just got taxed by a cruiserweight.
yet here we are, arguing that size means everything.
heart matters a whole lot more. If a fighter comes to win and truly believes it. Not many fighters have heart though.
one of the last lionhearted fighters was Pacquiao. It wasn't so much his speed that made him great, it was his heart. You knew he wasn't gonna lay down and give up, you knew he came to win. Nobody ever writes him off because of it.
then we have a fighter like Rocky, known for his tremendous willpower - and he’s being written off. Lol. Classic normies. Little puppy dogs.

yeah seriously, I wanna hear a list from all these people claiming he’s a master boxer? In my opinion hes imitating master boxers but only half understands what he’s doing because hes probably on his own. You can see hes actively trying to improve his skills though so he is a thinking man. But his skills really only look good against Wilder because Wilder essentially has no boxing pedigree whatsoever.
its another example
of a contemporary fighter randomly
waking up and watching a few old tapes and suddenly figures out we have been gaslit this entire time. The guys hes fighting don't even know what hes doing so of course it works. Wilder literally hobbles around on stilts, chicken winging and telegraphing everything, even the expression on his face is a telegraph. All his pro fights did was build his confidence so he doesn’t tire as bad anymore. Remember his first 40 fights were against club fighters at small venues. Then he’s in the gym doing high intensity upperbody strength workouts while neglecting his lower body strength (his balance is terrible). I wonder if they realize his weak legs force him to plant his feet which is also probably giving him that power while taking away any defensive capability or mobility he needs.You know old school fighters meticulously worked on sitting and moving so they could transition on the fly. Chavez sr was pretty good at this.

Queen, it's your charge, the Great Nash. Mentor Nash has just noticed that you have only given out 2 likes on here. This confirms to Nash that you are currently a selfish person, not wanting to give out anything or share the love. More homework from Nash is for you to start giving out more likes to others, Nash wants you at 10 within the next 5 days. Nash is not the only ATG around these parts, start giving out some respect to the others as well.

Its in his feinting... You have to be damn good to sell a feint. He feinted so well against Klitsko that Vlad could not throw a punch, thats a lot of skill. He also has developed a fantastic multi-purpose jab. Fury also is a very accurate puncher. Finally, his footwork. Fury has a sense of where he is moving to, and how he wants to get there at all times. He has those skills because like the fighters of old, he started fighting when he was a kid and was laced up on the subtle things that make a difference.

When people are not seeing Fury's skills, it's one of two things. 1. They do not understand boxing - This covers a lot of people on here. Or 2. A personal agenda against Tyson Fury, which again, covers a lot of people on here. Nash out.

I asked you about this in post #15, but got no reaction. So I'll try again... as I'm really, really curious to hear, where you get this from?
Society, the governing rules and system (fighting was encouraged, fighters always attempted knockouts for the most part (based on footage) fighters all fought eachother, so competition is increased. One title and one money maker (champ) Fighters fought more frequently (I think so) and smaller gloves (in the 70s middleweight+ wore 8 oz). But overall just a keen observation of the best fighters of the day, seemed to be more competitive and put in more effort aka heart.
