    Henry Armstrong got KO'd by a bum with a 10% KO ratio.
    Not at the end, but at the beginning of his career and not 16 or so but 21.

    Henry Armstrong was a glass jawed fraud which is why he isn't known as one of the greatest p4p fighters of all time but as just a random name on boxrec... oh wait.

    Well if you walk down a opponent trying to utilize your weight and height advantage and make into a fight instead of a boxing match it's going to look scrappy.

    Cunningham could of circeld around him much like Rigo did against the bigger guy in Donaire. There's always a way to win and this was a solid win for Fury.

    And the guy who hit hm didn't weight 40 pound less, he weighed 210 SOLID pounds. It's not like cunningham is a small guy.

    The OP's claim that Fury getting dropped by Cunningham is equivalent to Calderon dropping a WW shows a lack of understanding regarding many things.

    This ^

    There are many great fighter who get dropped in the beginning of their careers and then goes on to become great. Im not saying that Tyson will be great but remember Muhammad ali, he got dropped 1 or 2 times in the beginning of his career and no one can say that he's a glas jaw now.


    It's so easy to sit behind a computer to critize acual fighter who fight it out in the ring for something they love. And it's so easy now days to dismiss someone as being a fraud just because he got dropped.


    Another thing I want to point out. Cunningham fought Furys fight in last 3-4 rounds. I don't care aobut the weight advantage in Fury. Cunningham should have the advantage in speed and footwork but he didn't use it well enough.

    Anyone can get dropped by 210lb man, especially if they fight like Fury did. I think Tyson was too eager to impress instead of fight smart, he literally took two or three steps back in this fight. I think next time out hell do better.
