6ft9 280lb Fury destroys any old timer boxer

[removed]

When NSB comes into history to tell us why we have weight divisions.


They ain't here to learn.

I've watched all the old fights and trust me, Fury plays with them all like little children.

The world has moved on, and the idea that a little cruiserweight like Marciano could do anything to Tyson Fury is laughable.

I know you guys in here like to reminisce about the good old days, but cmon now.

A ten count isn't ten seconds. Fury was up in ten.

One would expect a boxing historian such as yourself to understand how a ten count works.

Is there a wank emoji? I need a wanking eye roll emoji.

I'll refrain from my own assumptions and just ask, when bantering, when I was doing my Wilder-like rhyming, why'd you stop giving me prompts?

I genuinely don't see how someone such as yourself who knows his boxing, thinks that Rocky would stand a chance against a giant technician like Fury.

Marciano had no technique and no size.... Yes he was tough and could punch hard, but a man with his average
physical attributes and limited skillset needs a lot more than that to beat Tyson Fury.

Every generation there is some guy the newbies think is unbeatable until he gets beaten.

This week's flavor: Tyson Fury.

For me it was Foreman - flash forward 20 years and it was Mike Tyson - go back and we got Louis; Dempsey; Johnson. All unbeatable just like Tyson Fury.

I miss being young and . . .

Funny thing is you're correct, in practice it is a ten count and Fury was 'up' at six and the ref could see that and adjusted his count so.

A good example of a bad ref adhearing strictly to the ten seconds is Walcott-Marciano Ii - Walcott was getting up and the ref could see that, and should have adjusted his count; but it seemed more like his count was in a race with Walcott. It was obvious Walcott was ready to go on.

But on the other hand both the MQB rules and the Nevada Unarmed Combat rules use the term 'seconds' - go figure.

Marciano had some unique physical attributes and he developed his own unique skillset to make best use of them. Look at some of the videos analysing his style on YT and you'll see what I mean. But nothing he could do would beat Fury, imo. The size difference would be too great. Marciano was almost a foot shorter than Fury and he fought out of a crouch. So unless he did something really ******, Fury's chin would always be out of range of Rocky's power.

Size matters in boxing, which is why we have weight divisions. And Fury is the best "big man" in the history of the sport, which means he must at least be worthy of consideration as the best HW in the history of the sport.

That's correct. The rules state that a downed fighter has 10 seconds to rise, but they also give the referee absolute power in determining whether the downed fighter is allowed to continue after a knockdown or not. So in reality the ref's best estimate, or best judgement, of a10 second count is what matters.

I disagree, Kronk Fury punches hard enough to get anyone's respect, especially cruiserweights like Marciano.

Fury could easily fight on the backfoot and jab their nuts in, and then tie them up when they get inside, nobody is mauling a 280lb Fury in the clinch.

Its not about the clinch, it has to do with before the clinch. Weight is not the only factor regarding heavyweights...
