    We've seen this from Fury before. Looking poor in a fight that seems easy but then looking brilliant against a different opponent.

    Ngannou was much better than anyone thought. And Fury probably didn't take him as serious as he should have.

    No doubt he looked rubbish last night.

    But id still tip him to beat Usyk or anyone else

    Francis clinch game is the best in boxing. anytime he clinches in close range he's going to show these guys things they never seen, mma strikes like the single collar punches , or the over under with a sneaky uppercut. He did a lot of mma clinch striking tonight.

    It's pretty important that Fury needs to try and correct this, from a legacy and boxing community standpoint. I think he needs to rematch Ngannou post haste.

    If that happens it's either for his belt or he gets stripped. Fury can **** off.

    One of Furys major weapons is the clinch and putting his weight on his almost always smaller opponents, he couldn't do it in this fight and looked crap.

    Zhang would be Furys hardest fight, just as big as Fury and can bang.

    If a rematch was to take place, the belt should be on the line no doubt.

    Kinda like big baby Miller, fighters would gas from hitting him in the face and it having zero effect.

    Fury is a disgrace to the sport of boxing.

    He needs to fight more people before we rank him. He might have looked good against the undisciplined Fury but might not look so good against Hunter.

    Fury showed massive disrespect to his opponent and to boxing. Whether you're fighting the number one contender or the lowest ranked opponent you train hard and bring your A game. Sure, you might train harder for some fights than others, but the very least you can do is put the work in. One punch can maim and/or kill in this game. Yes, on paper this was a mismatch and Fury was never going to take it as seriously as if it was a 'real' fight, but he was barely at 50% and embarrassed himself
