Tyson Fury was 260 and Usyk was 223 (and blown up). This is the modern era. When will you understand that in boxing, weight is just one small factor among many.Last edited by Bundana; 05-22-2024, 08:48 PM.

did you know that Duran was 260 at one point? Buster Douglas was 400.
you make a huge assumption that Tyson is soaked down to his natural weight. Tyson in the 80s was trying to keep weight on him. They had him only running 3-5 miles tops and even with weight on his back sometimes.
marciano and tyson were also very similar weight in the ams (205). Marciano was certainly not trying to keep weight on him. Considering he blew up to 255 in retirement, and to be honest still didn’t look fat.Last edited by them_apples; 05-22-2024, 08:53 PM.

What the **** is all this, "Duran was 260 at one point", "soaked down to his natural weight", "running 3-5 miles", "very similar weight in the ams" nonsense?
Nothing of this has anything to do, with how the two would shape up, physically, against each other in a prime vs prime fantasy match. Does anyone here really believe, that the tiny Marciano would actually be stronger than the 30 lbs heavier Tyson?Last edited by Bundana; 05-22-2024, 10:06 PM.

Duran did blow up to 250 post career for a spell, but eventually came down to his fighting weights, but has been sick recently such that now he looks like a little old man.
13 year old Tyson under Cus is easily 180 stout lbs then, and without weight training fought at his natural fight weights of 215-220. He never grew tubby like Ali and Lar did but eventually got up near 240 lbs still ripped.
