Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: Size Won't Play a Factor in Oleksandr Usyk Fight

[Smash]

size is a big factor is all of furys fights, the size of his belt line that is

If you thought Fury-Wlad was a snooze fest, this one is going to put you into a long hibernation. This is just a fight that is in the way of a Fury-AJ fight

Let’s get this over with and finally have a number 1. Then the crooks will start stripping and we can get back to the 4 beltholder Lamon Brewster era again

Be interesting to see Fury's game plan going into this fight. If he's gonna target the body alot etc because doesn't like it to the body but usyk will be the quicker fighter in there obviously and then it's just about fury can get to him really because if not then could be a big issue for fury

He's changed his tune completely...

Size is irrelevant. In past when bigger fighter wins people say it's because of the size? How about because they were better on night.
So when little guy beats big guy is it because of the small size that enabled small man to prevail?

Size is not irrelevant, it is a factor. Its just not the only factor. Your example is off. Its akin to arguing that speed doesn't matter because sometimes the slower fighter wins. Or skills don't matter because some times the less skilled fighter wins.

Yes, sometimes a smaller fighter will win a fight (usually due to other advantages they have) but that does not mean that size is not a factor at all.

Fury's gonna walk Usyk down & tee off on his nose. It's the only way.

Fury's for once just being the man & not the boxer, honest. Plus he's talking up the fight, it's undesputed season until the victor steps out of the ring & is stripped by the ibf yet again.

Let's just hope it happens.

Size is 100% relevant. Imagine Fury was 6'3 he would not had been in the top 50 of the current HW

If Fury was 6'3" he would be a lot faster and more fluid and have a totally different style.

Being big is equally an advantage and a disadvantage, bigger fighters are inherently slower, more clunky and clumsy.

If you blew Usyk up to 6'8" 260lbs he would not do half that fancy **** he does now, or if he did he'd be gassed after 3 rounds.

The way I see it is God built us different with different strengths and weakness, so we fight different. I mean if you was blessed with weak chin, you might have to have elusive approach to fighting. If God gave you strong chin, you might not mind taking a few to land one.
