    At this point, Floyd/Conor wasn't so bad

    Ngannou is bound to have watched the Fury / Wilder fights and would know that Fury is arguably more dangerous after having been put down and his recovery is stellar. It actually surprised me that Ngannou showed composure enough not to not end up punching himself out

    I think Mayweather carried McGregor to give people their money's worth.

    MMA rules fights are the only ones that matter in these situations. The fact that anyone would put stock in a boxer fighting an MMA fighter under rules that ban 80% of the MMA fighter skillset is ridiculous in itself. Its like bragging you can beat someone if they have one arm tied behind their back and are blindfolded or something. Fury managing to **** the bed so badly under those conditions is hilarious and well deserved.

    There are quite a few MMA strikers that would go well in boxing, don't get fooled by Jake Paul beating up on guys that are
    a) old and shot
    b) 2 or 3 weight classes below himself

    Ngannou is much better than enormously overrated in MMA McGregor, I think had Floyd fought somebody of Ngannou's level, he might have struggled almost as badly as Fury did.

    Chavez was just a disgrace

    The only REAL embarrassment was Art Jimmerson at UFC 1.

    Ray Mercer destroying Tim Silva should get a mention

    You speak like a true peasant.

    There are four belts at stake that's correct.

    You're speaking like money and PPV numbers don't matter. This isn't a backyard brawl, this is a multi-billion dollar game.

    Parker has called out Ngannou.

    AJ, Parker... couple big pay days out there for Francis, good to see considering the UFC ripped him off for years, made 2.5 million in 14 fights.

    And you can’t see how that compromises the sport and compromises the careers of more deserving people?

    I might speak like a “peasant” but at least I respect the game. Simple fools like you are more easily amused by shiny things that lack substance than I am.

    Everyone hated the Klitschko rein because it was "boring" but at least he fought 3 times a year and gave everyone there shot for over a decade.

    Fury after becoming champion the first time dodged the Klitschko rematch and the 2nd time has fought Wilder, Whyte and Chisora and now a MMA guy.
