Comments Thread For: Why Pound-For-Pounds Lists Are All Meaningless

[BarfyMan362]

P4P is a complete load of rubbish, made up so little boxers can feel better about themselves.

Tyson Fury is the best boxer in the world because nobody from any division can beat him in a fight.

I can think of a few who can beat him in his own division

[Oldskoolg]

Fury is the best of this era but the heavyweight division had been exceptionally weak since the late 90s. Fury is not the best British heavyweight ever, Lewis clearly is. Fury is probably the second. I believe he would have outlasted Bruno but I will tell you this, Bruno had a jab AND a right hand and could actually fight. I suspect fury would have outlasted him but styles make fights and fury in with Bruno is a whole lot different from Otto Wallin.
fury WOULD NOT have beaten Lewis, Holyfield, Tyson, bowe, etc etc. He’s the best of this era and the best since Vitali, but…..

What? Two men of equal ability fight and you reckon the smaller guy wins? Countless times?

Nah. You're wrong. Or just deluded.

Like someone just said, size does matter.

Put Canelo in with Fury and see what happens to him.

Let's put Canelo in with AJ then.

F** it... Canelo Usyk @ 200lbs

[mlac]

If AJ actually used his size and strength then perhaps it might have been a different fight? Usyk is also levels above AJ in terms of boxing skill so that makes up for the size disparity.

"A good big man always beats a good small man" is a very famous saying in boxing, I'm assuming you've heard it before?

I prefer the YouTube videos. Top 10 punchers, top 10 defensive fighters, top 10 whatever. They're fun to watch and easy to avoid arguments over. You could argue for days on socials or forums about your own P4P opinions.

yeah keep saying size matters when everyone saw in the AJ fight that size doesn't actually matter, but ok pal.
