Fury vs Wilder - Ring Size

[leeayon]

I think people are giving too much credit to Fury...I dont see it lasting 10 rounds .

[Jewish-Reptile]

Actually Wilder's team wanted 16x16 ft ring, while Fury's wanted 24x24 ft but they came to compromise - 20x20 ft ring.

And their you have it, Fury telegraphing his gameplan, stink, jab, run, rinse recycle, repeat. And folk wonder why tickets aren’t selling.

[Mr Giggles]

It's not like Tyson fury can move anyway. Seeing his footwork in the last two fights, he's got too much fat on him for him to move like he used to.

It could be 30ft ring, wilder is still knocking him out cold

This drives me crazy. I'm not sure how ring size isn't standard yet and still negotiable. Imagine if a football field was 50 yards or if a basketball was played half court. I just don't understand simple things like ring size and glove size doesn't have a standard size yet.

I think 7 rounds or less.

You make a good point. It's probably because boxing doesn't have any proper unified governing body so everything is always up for negotiation.

Yeah, the present situation just leaves it as another variable that can be 'negotiated' in favour of the A side. I remember in one of Lemieux's early hometown fights the ring was tiny.

I think you could have a standard ring size for age and weight classes, but not for the whole sport.

But I don’t think it’s that big an issue. In football (soccer) there is no standard size pitch. It just has to be within a range, and there are other examples as well. Depends on the sport.
