Whose punch resistance is better between...

Usyk's and Steve Cunningham's? Unlike Usyk Cunningham actually served in the military and was also as tough as nails yet Fury still managed to stop him and notice the lead up to the knockout was started by a painful body shot. This could be an easier fight for Fury.

 

Both very durable men

Both were 37 years old when they fought Fury

Cunningly got the life sucked out of him by Fury as will Usyk.

Fury said by round 5 he started to feel Steve go limp and you can see him dancing in his corner at this time..then the next round cripple him with a solar plexus bodyshot


Usyk has far better legs than cunningly though

 

Cunnigham got knocked down like 20 times in his career. Usyk has not been down once.

 

Hahaha scraping the barrel I see ... what's military got to do with taking a punch.

Cunnigham was dropped many times at Cruiserweight , even there he didnt have a good chin.

Usyk took punches from Joshua... and never been dropped.

Another typical brainless comment from the Fury side. I got a feeling that even after Usyk completely destroys Fury, that Fury's fans still wont realise they've been dupped.

 

Usyk.

 

Fair point, however prior to facing Fury at 37 Cunningham had never been stopped. Cunningham wasn't the same fighter anymore post Fury.

 

Believe me when your career is centred around literally dodging bullets, punches are child's play in comparison. No disrespect intended.

 

Well thats too bad for Cunningham who was dropped 4 times at cruiserweight against non punchers.... guess dodging bullets , whatever that means, didn't help him then.

 

This must be a troll thread. Cunningham was knocked down:
- 4 times by Ross
- 3 times by Hernandez
- 1 time by Fury
- 2 times by Mansour
- 1 time by Visinia
- 4 times by Glowacki

Usyk was never even knocked down once and battered Glowacki. Usyk not only has better chin than Cunningham, he has one of the best chins in boxing today.

 

He went on to beat Mansour, had close fights with Glazkov and Tarver. He then managed to go 12 with Glowacki despite getting dropped several times.
I don´t get the statement. It´s not like Cunningham was on some roll before facing Fury. He lost to YPH and got robbed by past it Adamek.

 

Cunningham was a very good cruiser. Not all cruisers are built for moving up to heavyweight so that shouldn’t be held against him, this feels like disrespect. He was old and past it and probably couldn’t make crustier limit so moved up whereas usyk might be old but he’s at top of the game.

also wtf has serving in military got to do with anything, just because you sign up doesn’t mean you can take a punch better than the next guy lol

 

3 times by Adamek.

 

Actually, Cunningham moved up for the opportunities. He only once weighed 210lbs, so making weight was not an issue.
It was a pretty badass run that he had at heavyweight. Dude had a shaky chin at 200, not that big of a punch and still put together a good run despite his age.
