    yeah, I noticed that too. 209lbs I think.

    edit* - that was his weigh in weight. How much could he have put on on fight night?

    He'd get dented, badly. Wlad would be forced to let his hands go because Fury is so big and he'd get ruined, I mean proper-fucked, do you get me London? But mark my words, the fight will never happen. I think Fury has Haye Syndrome. He's interested in the stage and the attention but he's got something wrong with him, like Haye, he's not all that bad at taking punishment, but he's terrified of not getting the attention he feels he deserves. He's got a good chance of beating Price if he can avoid being hit, but he will NEVER take the fight, so enraged does he become at the mere thought of having to share some attention with Price. It's odd, but there you have it. He's like a dog at feeding time, he's got plenty of his own food, but cannot stop staring in the other dogs dish, growling furiously and getting his hackles up.

    Probably just the same, not like heavyweights cut weight

    Not much. He wasn't making weight in the first place.

    Cunningham was dropped badly by Adamek, three times in fact, at 200.

    :lol: @Fury trying to copy the move Wlad does when he is looking for the left hook.

    right. The very reason Floyd never fought Pac, too.

    Scales were 210lb-254lb. Not sure what the fight night weights were.

    Back in the good old days, people had integrity and would call a guy for being that much bigger and heavier.

    You can bet your bottom dollar that whatever treats Cunningham treated himself to, Fury was gormandizing times-ten.

    Yeah, I kind of feel the same, but there is a nagging something which tells me that Fury might just end up fighting Wald. Not really sure why - I think it is that with Haye a lot of his bluster is just that, bluster, whereas I honestly reckon that Fury thinks he can beat Wald.

    I honestly don't know why guys like Cunningham move from cruiser to HW nowadays. The weight difference is just too much to handle. Cunningham is a former CW world champ and he was a long-odds underdog prior to facing an unproven, pikey lump simply because the lump is fucking huge.

    It's remarkable, the net result of Generation Me. If they could announce a fight against themselves and have themselves weighed twice, interviewed twice, trained twice....they would. Fucking narcissists.

    Cash.

    Also, Cunningham harks back to the days of Johnson vs Willard, Conn vs Louis, Loughran vs Carnera ....he can always claim he has that retro vibe, he had severe disadvantages and embarrassed his bigger opponent, losing only on the matter of size and weight. Its a feather for his cap.

    The ending was awful, like some sort of bad fairground fight where a game punter is overwhelmed by the hired brute. Fury basically used his left forearm to push Cunninghams head up, then swat his tiring opponent with a big right, straight in the nose.

    There isn't much money in HW boxing nowadays, though I think you are right. The argument in favour of a super-heavyweight division seems to get more persuasive to me as time goes by.

    Fury is good. He knows how to use his size, he throws lots of punches, and he seems to have decent stamina.

    He matches up better against Vitali, at least the Vitali who is around right now. Regardless of IBF this or that, he should be looking for Vitali when he's ready for a title shot.

    This was a good win.

    When this same shit happened to Michael Grant vs Golota, it was all like 'oh, now he's gotten up and won so now he has a good shot against Lennox!'.

    It was bullshit because Grant looked like shit the entire fight and his going down wasn't so much a fluke as it was sucking. This fight otoh actually provides some possibility that it will help Fury develop. We'll see.

    I was impressed at how quick Stevie woke up. He fell over sidewards and looked out as he did; I thought he was is a bad old way yet he was awake at seven.

    Yeah. It rhymes with footballers not being happy to score anymore but all either having some scripted bit or just looking angry as if they're insulted anyone ever doubted they'd score. Related somehow.

    Klitschko would moider him. It would be over before the opening bell. Remember the Haye vs Wlad weigh in, when the Haye fans were giving it loads.....Wlad was stood there soaking it up, reveling in the sheer "now I can be stoic as fuck...I am ready to die like Stalingrad" routine. He feeds off the loutishness....he'd be like..."didn't I see that guy in Moldova in '95" as Furys shirtless and potless relatives stormed up and down, ruining the good carpet, and contemplating its later removal and rolling up in the back of a van.

    Fury for his part would grow more and more irate at the thought of not getting the attention he deserved. His dad/uncle would be sticking his oar in, his mother would be sticking her oar in, the missus would be sticking the oar in.....old Luke would be a ball of inbred emotive disarray by the time the opening bell sounded.

    Finger-Wagging, finger-on-the-lips bullshit.

    Furys old man went on ITV and said he had proof that David Price selection for the 2008 Olympics was motivated by politics.

    Fury had a mini-stroke when asked to talk about David Price...he just wobbled and went all gee-eyed and screwy and batty. Utterly irrational and disturbed.

    I believe you are wrong on every fact in this post and I disagree with every opinion. Otherwise, good post.

    I think the main punch that did Cunningham in was the body shot about 10 seconds before the last punch. It was clean and hard.
