    It was definitely a ‘Game changer’!

    A phrase he had cryptically tweeted several times before the official announcement of the matchup. It has indeed been proven to be a game changing matchup but unfortunately for him the biggest game changing effect has been to his own reputation within the boxing world and people now ridiculing him on his abilities. I hope the huge paycheque was worth it.

    So dumb it is. If you think someone who can take hits with 4oz gloves and flush headkicks somehow has worse chin when hit by boxing gloves then I dont know what to tell you.

    Yes, I can compare chin in both MMA and boxing you dumbass.

    Any other heavyweight can take out the trash

    Fury needs to fight Usyk now and get undisputed over with or retire

    The hype for Usyk-Fury is dead for most of the public and casual audience. Beating Ngannou convincingly in a rematch would bring the hype back

    It's a little too late for that. His legacy is virtually done, and there is only one future which he comes back from this. Against Usyk. Other than that, he can go. An utter embarrassment to the sport

    I would much perfer a random unranked contender to beat Ngannou so the annyoing mma fans can stfu

    He took a beating. It should do him some good. Probably also not a good idea to do exhibitions against 270lb trained killers anymore.

    I don’t see the harm in Wilder vs. Ngannou, that fight would sell on name alone

    This fat tub of lard embarrassed the entire sport of boxing last night. If he looks remotely similar performance wise against Usyk he is going to lose every round.

    This is what years of abusing your body will do to you.

    He will spend the rest of his life in a mental pit dwelling on what his career could have been if he wasn't so unprofessional.

    I looked again the fight in detail and imho one of the most impressive details was fury,s tries and fails of clinching and leaning on ngannou .

    While the leaning down worked at every opponent it completeley failed at ngannou . Ngannou was not only able to resist fury,s tries to lean on him but also had enough power to lever fury out and push him away with one hand .

    Ngannou must have back and neck muscles of another world . I think in pure physical power he outperforms every current hw.
