Tyson Fury?

[shawnkemp804]

At what point does his size cease being an advantage?
I'm assuming here that all things being equal everyone agrees he beats anyone up to Lhvy,175lbs.
What about over that , abilities being equal,when does his size cease to give him an advantage?
When his opponent is 6ft and 190lbs for example, or when?

Lol his size has never been a advantage. The people who think this are the care a people who never watch boxing a day in their lives but will repeat what they hear others size. So Tyson Fury is a 6'7 230 pound guy who comes in the ring out of shape. In the 1990's alone there were literally 100's of boxers 6'6 plus 250 pound plus and I never heard anybody say these guys had any advantage.

After 230lbs, you start to sacrifice speed, quickness, endurance, & agility.

Perfect HW is prime Ali, 6'3" 220lbs.

Ali wasn't 6'3 he was 6'2 1/2 according to himself and Ali got beat upside the head so much that nothing about him was perfect

Why would I opt to debate with a moron?

Oh man, 6'2 1/2 is never rounded up to 6'3" by anybody

And nobody beat the prime version of Ali, just the old version, who was a shell of himself after being away 3 years.

When in his prime did Ali ever get "beat upside the head"? Are you talking about the beat Ali, or the Ali that got robbed of three years of his prime?

When Ali ran the Willams,Terrell, Folley gambit in '66 - '67 he looked unstoppable.

We'll never know what could have been.

A prime ali was 208-215 Lbs. At 220 he was slower and did not have the same stamina.

Prime Ali was never seen.

Maybe we didn't see his 'peak years' but IMO we saw a couple of Ali's prime years in '66 - '67.




"I ain't saying Clay ain't bad, but I stopped liking Cassius Clay when he changed name to Muhammad Ali. What kind of s-hit is that?"

". . . His momma named him Clay. I gonna call him Clay."

[Mr Mitts]

And yet he didn't. Not even at his best.

I don't even know what your answer refers to.
