Has Usky just demolished the myth of the modern superheavyweight?

Careful, the honeymoon is still going.

 

Okay buddy, you follow that prompt with whatever goofiness you had on your mind and then when you're done I'll teach you third grade physics.

 

Are we sure that a fighter aren't allowed to weigh under 200 lbs for HW in the pros?

Also, there's no rules I know against wearing heavy clothes and weights in your pockets to put on 10-15 lbs.

 

Punching power stops scaling with size up to a point. Superheavyweights have never hit harder than smaller heavyweights. Thats a myth. If it were true Nikolai Valuev would be the biggest puncher. But he isn't even a mediocre puncher.

 

That`s insane you could see how much Usyk struggled even with his speed and 78 inch reach, Fury`s arms looked insanely long against Usyk, it looked like a man fighting a boy, Usyk is amazing.

 

I looked it up, no bodies prohibit significantly lighter men challenging for their titles.

 

He’s not a small heavyweight himself, average size in the modern era.

 

He's definitely not average in the modern era. Average historically, sure.

 

You want to look at the commission rulings. Be very surprised if they let a featherweight fight a heavyweight. If something happened they'd be liable for one thing.

 

Why don't you do that and get back to us?

 

Why don't you do it you're the one trying to disprove that guys point. Looks like you just want to forfeit now.

 

Excellent info Mac. I didn’t think there were official preclusions invoking a lower weight limit for HW but I certainly didn’t know for sure.

 

Mac did disprove it. Balls in your court to prove there is an actual lower limit - in fact, the burden of proof always resided with the original claim/claimant - not that I’m impugning them at all. They weren’t militant or aggressive re their expressed opinion.
