Would Michael Spinks had put up a better fight against Tyson Fury than Deontay Wilder did?

Less reach.

 

Fair enough, but it would take a great small heavyweight to beat Fury because of his size and reach.

 

No.

 

I have watched and been involved with boxing for longer period of time than you have been on this earth, so yes been in and watched one or two bouts.

If you are so knowledgeable about the sport of boxing, then you would know that even a 210 pound boxer throwing a full power punch, to a unprotected chin of a boxer who is standing nigh on square on to them, can well result in that boxer hitting the deck.
Fury was showboating, mocking, pushing Cunningham after the bell, and frankly taking him lightly.

How is being put on the canvas necessarily a sign of not being able to take a punch, not being able to get up might be. Go down, take the count, clear your head and back into the fray, use the full 9 seconds and the seconds added while ref checks you are ok, that is wise boxing if you need to use it.

If you are comparing Fury from the Cunningham fight, to the Fury we have seen as the champion there is vast difference even just regard the physicality.

Would Fury be taking such a sloppy approach against Spinks, no he would not.

So yes Spinks getting a punch with power on Furys unprotected chin could deck him, i have not suggested he could not, but putting Fury to the canvas and keeping him there is something else.

I remain of the view Spinks did not have enough pop in his punches to truly give Fury anything to think about, over and above what any other opponent would.

I reiterate if it turned into a sweet science boxing match alone then Spinks would fair better, but not sure why Fury weighing 60 pounds more than Spinks, would choose to fight such a fight.

 

Lol kid you don't know my age. Also you could be 2000 and you still wouldn't know a thing about boxing.

Second little kid how many times has George Foreman, Mike Tyson, Oliver McCall, ect been knock down by a natural 180 pound fighter who couldn't even punch hard fighting guys his own size? Second Tyson Fury wasn't show boating when he was knocked down and even if he was he was knocked down by a light punching natural 180 pound fighter with 1 punch. Also it is funny how guys like you try to spend things to fit your own narrative. Also Tyson Fury wasn't punishing Cunnigham. He was actually losing the fight until Steve Cunningham wore down.

If you think getting knocked down by light punching means you have a great chin then again you are proving you are a 12 year old kid who knows nothing about boxing. Tyson Fury was also knocked down by 1 punch from light punching Nevin Pajkic a guy with only 5 knock outs in his 17 wins.

So my point stands. You don't have to be a really hard puncher to knock down or hurt Tyson Fury because Tyson Fury doesn't have a good chin. He runs and grabs in fear so he doesn't get hit as often as he would if he was more aggressive. Also Tyson Fury weight wouldn't be a factor because Tyson Fury a natural 240 pound or less guy who comes in the ring heavier than he should. There is no logical reason that Spinks couldn't come into a fight weighing 230 or more and be in poor shape like these current heavyweights. The reason Spinks fought light as a heavyweight because he wanted to keep some level of speed and not gas out.

 

I hope you don't decide to debate boxing matters like that face to face, it would not end well, calling a adult a "12 year old kid", that is beyond weirdo and would have implications face to face.

 

Okay 12 year old little kid now let me block you.

 

That's an odd thing to say. If Fury had Foreman's power he'd had stopped Wilder in the first round of every fight.

 

considering Wilder knocked Fury down 4 times in 3 fights i will say no

 

He'd beat Spinks the same way he beat Cunningham. Holding and refusing to let go until the ref made him. Funny how much Fury clinches, yet his disciples never mention it. Kind of like Ali's worshippers. Yet they are the first guys to complain when Wlad, Ruiz, Lewis, etc clinched excessively.
