If Fury was the same size as everyone else...

But he's not.

Yeah but he is bigger than everyone else and thus can beat them all up.

I know you love the midgets but size matters in this game.

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

keep telling yourself that to make you and that clumsy oaf who is technically awful, feel better about themselves.

If Fury was the same size as everyone else he would be a journeyman mate, sorry to drop a hard truth bomb on you

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.

Ron Lewis is subtextually trying to discredit Canelo. Let’s be honest, Brits don’t fancy Mexicans. It’s just the way it is. Ron Lewis has written Fury articles before praising the question if Fury is the GOAT Heavyweight without even citing Nandrolone lol. Why is this important to detail? Because most boxing writers like Idec, Breadman, whenever Canelo is spoken about with some accomplishment they literally CITATE “Canelo in 2018 was suspended for Clenbuterol….” these same bozo writers won’t even THEN cite that Clenbuterol was amended with a threshold.

Why is this all important? Because Ron Lewis has written about Canelo in the Times crying that 6 months was “weak.” Literally a headline like that for the Times. But you don’t see these same writers ever bringing up Nandrolone for a Fury win. lol

It’s comedic at best. Ron Lewis doesn’t want to admit that Canelo is P4P #1. So much to say it’s meaningless without giving a specific reason for adversity.

This is why Breadman’s mailbags are a joke. I have to assume the head Editor for this site doesn’t like Canelo either to allow these writers troll as such.

It’s Marvelous Marvin Hagler. Not Marvin Hagler. Real name.

The list in question is called "pound for pound" for a reason.

So what? You scale up Canelo's skills to a 270 pound man? Or you scale down Fury's style to a 168 pound man? Does Canelo get factored up to 270? Or 200? Can we give Fury a 20% weight advantage in the lower classes given he pretty much has that in his current weight class?

What would win in a fight if a spider was the size of a tiger?

Or you look how dominant they are in their division? Considering that the lower weight classes jump around and so do their opponents.

Do you have a basketball MVP where you factor in height and weight differences?

It's fantasy. It's nonsense.

There is already a 'best' title in boxing, and it's the one in the open weight category.

Without an agreed-upon and verifiable criteria, determining or opining about a pound-for-pound list is a fool's errand. These pound-for-pound discussions mainly serve as click bait and nothing more.

Love him or hate him, he's the best in certain limited weight categories. He isn't the best in the world. That title is reserved for boxing's open category.
