Or a massive case of tennis elbow that has doctors puzzled by the amount of tennis elbow in 1 man. So that would even things up a bit maybe.

The point I was obviously making (simply enough) Is that you can’t judge a fighter with hypotheticals. If he was half a foot shorter is no different to if he had one arm. It’s fictional so void of argument. Judge the man before you. quite Sporting really hey Gnasher Ok yes i gave you a bit of good natured ribbing but have you actually thought this through mate ? Fury uses his physical advantages well but without them he wouldnt have the success he does simply because his success is based on his physical advantages of landing punches out of range its not a complicated strategy... i just fail to see how that can be compared to fighting against an amputee Edited July 7, 2020 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it was Cassius clays hatred for the white man, his Devil Rants etc, took some warming to really. I had the same feeling with Prince Naseem. Nobody likes a smart arse touching back on fury for a minute, he moves far better than your average heavy weight, so if he was half a foot shorter I imagine he would move even better, but as I say it’s void of argument because it’s fictional. So we have to judge The Fury that stands before us. Unbeatable up until now, no man has worked out the puzzle. Let’s face it much better men than we have tried and failed. Add to that his bit of heart. well that’s how I see it. But what do I know. as for the amputee comment, I can’t keep trying to explain the same thing mate. It’s fictional, meaning it doesn’t count. Not in the grand scheme of things. what if Messi was taller? Would he be more like Ronaldo and Ronaldo if shorter? Yadda yadda! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The point you are missing mate is its not Messi/Ronaldo,s physical characteristics that make them top footballers....Fury is a top fighter BECAUSE of his physical characteristics....half a foot shorter as you put it and he then doesnt have the height and reach that make him a top fighter and wins an area title at best in my opinion. The other thing yes of course its exactly why....Clay/Naz/Eubank etc all sold tickets on a love to hate basis. Edited July 9, 2020 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BUT you FAIL to realise that changing his dimensions is hypothetical so you have no idea what kind of a boxer he would be or what style he would adopt. He wouldn't look half as cumbersome if he was more of an average size. The facts are the physical dimensions of a fighter has a bearing on how they fight, it's been this way since the dawn of man.

It was only about six months ago that you agreed that fury isn't as good as ali, yet here you are AGAIN with all this 'fury's the best the planet has ever produced' f****n garbage. It's ok to to be a fan of someone and support them, of course it is. But you putting fury on such a high pedestal is quite frankly, absurd. The guy is pretty good, no more, no less. Let's not forget here, that on a professional world level he's not really beaten anyone very good, never mind excellent. He's been outfought, outboxed, hit, cut, whatever, in a few of his fights, maybe lucky as well to get a couple of decisions, so why do consider him, in your words, not mine, the best the planet has ever seen, is untouchable, has a great skillset, great footwork etc etc? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
