Is Fury's reputation forever tarnished?

The history books have Fury as the winner. Fury's legacy is fine.

He is undefeated, how many heavyweights can say that?

 

Andrew Flintoff

 

A lot.

 

bahahahaha

 

Forget medicals, this is more conclusive than any brain scan. It's just a load of words thrown together.

 

Think you just summed up the majority of threads I have been reading on the British board today. The Fury fans have completely lost the plot just spamming gibberish about how Ngannou beats X, Y, Z. The cognitive dissonance on display has been quite the spectacle. I've seen Fury fans go from what seemed like something close to acceptance of reality to utter denial in the space of 24 hours.

At the end of day, Fury just disgraced himself against not only a novice boxer, but one who had been two years inactive and coming off a knee surgery. He will never live this down. And neither will boxing until Ngannou gets in the ring with another professional boxer. And from what we saw "professional" and "Fury" are antonymous.

 

"Last night he was humbled infront of the world"

That may be the best thing for him. He desperately needed humbling.

Fury went life and death with McDermott and Pajkic back in the day and Abell gave him a decent fight in 2014 when he came in obese, depressed and untrained. He's been known to have these kinds of performances.

I didn't "call it" because like virtually everyone I didn't believe Ngannou had a realistic chance of even making it competitive but I was saying before the fight that Ngannou was more dangerous than guys like Franklin and Takam, which was a controversial take at the time.

How many world class men has he fought?
Wilder
Wlad
Whyte

And???????

 

Whyte is barely British Class

 

Ngannou is world class. He is a MMA Heavyweight Champion.

 

G

Do you reckon he'd beat Djokovic at table tennis?

 

Strange thing is that if he had lost then it would probably have been more accepted.

Since it's a sham win that will harm his reputation more.

 

Good point.

Can't think of any except it was 3x wilder.

 

He will forever be the man who delayed the undisputed fight to face a guy he had beaten twice and then an 0-0 novice who beat him. Fury’s reputation is in the mud for good, even if he goes on to beat Usyk. He’s embarrassed boxing.

 

Hopefully the humbling will be felt by John Fury aswell.

The way he's been acting lately has been off the scale.

And all this talk about him wanting to fight Mike Tyson was so disrespectful
