Most heavyweights are so much older, I would hope that his power might develop with age.

Well he's fighting once a months, so by the time he matures properly he might have had 100 fights.

A lot of knockdowns these days are bullshit, you get penalised if your glove just scrapes the canvas, I believe Floyd Jr. and Naz were victims of that. A knockdown should mean you are down as in on the floor.

Really? Define "down as in on the floor" in way that would allow for consisten application.

On your arse, or at the very least both gloves firmly on the canvas.

i was there when he fought price and it was a slip by price and he never recieved no count, fury got schooled by price in his own back yard so fury is a liar

Yes, but then "on your arse" doesn't cover falling face first. Or being staggered, legs dipping and using the glove to keep you up. Or taking a knee.

Want to try again?

you only put your hand on the canvas to prevent yourself from falling to the canvas.

If a punch is hard enough to make a boxer 'touch' the floor with his glove , then i think he might be grateful for an 8 count, rather than the opposing boxer being able to follow up on the hard punch.

I say they have a rematch to shut Fury up he is so gobby

he has a point, i remember naz's glove touching the floor against kelly, it was ruled a kd, but it was far from it.

I think when a punch causes a boxer to touch his glove down, it is a fair KD.
