    How do you know AJ "won't fight him"? Your own brain farts do not compute as being a fact.

    Wish he'd go back to MMA and fight Jon Jones, but he'll probably do **** all for 6-12 months then rematch Fury.

    Ruiz hits harder than Fury and has more volume. I'm not buying into Ngannou just yet, he did well against a very poor Fury granted but it's still just one 10 round fight. Bakole or Mak on the undercard would put him away - in my opinion

    If you didn't notice the Saudi's are buying up Las Vegas events and they are happy to pay for them. Even the Saudi's buying out all the advertising in vegas to promote their own events! embarrassing. America is dead. Wait for the economic drop in 2024. People say boxing is dead, no the world economy is about to die from years of corruption greed fake wars and fake pandemics. 3 years it's taken for the blowback. It effects everything including sporting events.

    The funny money has ran out

    & only the Saudi's have a pot of cash to pay out.

    Don’t forget James Toney vs Randy Couture.

    AJ is far more likely to take it than Wilder.

    Wilder runs and hides behind mummy from fringe contenders like Dillian Whyte and poops the bed when poppa Povetkin comes knocking... He's not going to take a fight with a bloke who's just embarrassed the man who took his soul.

    Realistically though I'm not sure Francis would be up for either of them just yet.


    Said in another thread, but I think Dubois would be an interesting one... It's probably about the right level to build from at a full length fight for FN, a good one for DDD to start rebuilding a reputation from, and it'd ask interesting questions of both men.

    Some people are always at the gym. Some people keep themselves in shape.

    And then there is realty TV wannabe Tyson Fury.

    Honestly I'd like to see him get a rematch.

    Last night was an exception. Fury was a slob disgrace and Francis fight a surprisingly good fight. I don’t see anyone from the MMA lower weights lacing up some gloves and taking on the likes of Crawford, Boots, Canelo or Bivol, etc. I also don’t see any of this types of fights happening. If anything, MMA guys might be matched up with retired boxers. They have big names, are usually slower and the fights might be more competitive. Guys like Crawford toy and destroy any MMA fighters near their weight.

    Fury may have given some MMA guys some false hope but that hope would be destroyed thirty seconds into the fight for any MMA fighter. Hope this at least forces tightwad Dana White to pay his fighters more. The only reason MMA guys are so keen to step into the ring with a boxer is the payout (which is often a career high). The fans will catch on eventually because the fights are rarely entertaining, although I have to admit I enjoyed seeing FN give Fury the business last night.

    I don't think Fury can live knowing how close that fight was

    Even it it means risk losing in a rematch. He will rematch that man.

    Boxing is in the pits.. I thought Ngannou was as awful as I expected.. apart from he was able to pace himself and not get overawed better than I thought he would .. if you look at his actual performance it was poor, he's technically mediocre and has very low output .. it's just that Tyson's performance was so bad and pathetic that he somehow made a guy who's probably got no business being in the Ring with someone like fkin Ajagbe even look good... greedy arrogant twat just bumped into some karma... this fight was completely needless and unwanted & fury has taken the sport down with him .. even worse all those great Legends were there to watch him do it :lol:.. how fkin cringe.. rematch him immediately or FO ppl are sick of your ****.. I love this sport and can take or leave MMA but I bet they are laughing at us now and rightly so.. historic fk up of monumental proportions

    I don't think it'll happen.

    The way I see it, Fury will either take Usyk and then retire (probably losing) rather than rematch Usyk... Or he'll retire to avoid risking his undefeated against Usyk.

    In either case, I don't think he'll go back in with Francis.

    All the guys he beat except an ancient Silva were not strikers by MMA standards. In fact, Askren was known for having some of the worst stand up of all time.
