    There are so many people who believe the extra weight he's been carrying weight since winning the championship from Klitschko has actually been a positive. It doesn't take a genius to realize he was at his best when he fought Vladimir.

    I’m still picking Fury simply for his size,but he better be in shape,focussed and train hard because if not Usyk will cruise it. Fury was garbage and it seemed Ngannous size was certainly a factor also,which brings us to Fury v Zhang now that would be interesting .

    Everyone at HW can bang and can put you down. And Fury doesn't have the greatest chin. It's not China, but it's not great either. He has been down by absolute featherfists in the past, so i don't read too much into that.

    And yeah Ngannou power is overrated. The whole Guinness World Record is b.c. It's a recorded punch on a machine PowerKube, and that was a promotional video done. But the casual believe to anything.

    Pork belly dosser also said he could drink 15 pints and then beat Joshua and could drink 25 pints and then beat Ngannou ( I have said it numerous times but I'll say it again, Ngannou has zero boxing experience and has also not fought for 21 months yet was able to drop, over power fury in the clinch and repeatedly
    Change stance).....let that sink in

    cmon man. We’ve never seen Fury look like this. He looked like he was very cautious with his cardio. In only a 10 rounder. His activity was almost nonexistent. He came in heavy. It’s clear he didn’t do the hard yards. These guys say all kinds of crap in the media. Fury especially. He’s the king of saying crap.

    I don't know... Could see someone like Dubois taking it hoping to regain relevance after getting humiliated by Usyk.

    It'd be an interesting fight - Dubois can bang (unlike Fury) but if Ngannou can land some decent shots he could fold like a pack of cards (again).

    Probably a good level to start building upwards from for FN too...

    Almost certainly never happens, of course.

    That was a stinker of a fight, hardly any action and Fury ran from the rematch where I believe Klitchscko would have made the adjustments but we'll never know because Fury went AWOL

    No, I don't think Fury willingly got dropped, and lost the majority of the rounds, so everyone can call him washed, past it and an pathetic embarrassment to the sport. I said Ngannou was a banana peel, and he was. He's got decent boxing skills, an iron chin, and hits like a hammer. Fury gambled, and without the judges to bail him out. Belly would've gone belly up.

    How can anyone with a brain still deny the obvious decline in boxing ability for decades now?

    Anyone specially an athlete with power of Francis can land a knockdown punch but he straight up OUTFOUGHT TYSON FURY INSIDE for an entire round in round 8.

    PATHETIC.... What happened to our sport? Boxing will always be my love but it has peaked as a sport. Its delusional to think otherwise. We'll have SPECIAL talents coming around every era like we have Bud, Usyk, Inoue, Canelo now but overall this sport has seen its best days.

    Dubois has a heart and chin problem. Ngannou would likely take what's left of his soul. Doubt he would want ngannou though unless Dubois wants an early cash out.

    I thought Fury won but it was close. How can you beat Wlad, Whyte, Chisora, Wilder heck even Wallin comfortably but not this guy. He definitely didn't train.
