    I'm intrigued to see him box again. You dont need to be Ali for this crop of heavies. All you need is 1 really good attribute and you have a chance against alot of the top 15.

    The lack of credit for Ngannou is astonishing and he looked to me more like a World Heavyweight top ten boxer than a novice.

    Would be good to see Joshua fight him in December 23.

    50/50 fight for me and that is why Joshua will not fight him.

    Joshua will face a Dave Allen level fighter next in preparation for Dillian Whyte next year when the failed drugs test is swept under the Matchroom Carpet.

    Never thought I would see the day when a novice pro at 37 years of age would be avoided by the Pride of Matchroom.

    What was interesting was how easy Ngannou dealt with Fury when he switched to southpaw.

    Compare it to full time boxers like Joyce going full ****** the moment a southpaw is in front of them lol.

    Heavy puncher and he looked dangerous every time he launched an attack.

    Very impressive was his defence making a man with a very long range with quick hands miss the target round after round.

    The constant hugging from Fury shows he was struggling and worried.

    Fury's hugging was embarrassing.
    Constantly trying to throw his flabby body over Ngannou.
    But for once he was up against a physically stronger opponent who dealt with it well

    One minute in and he said that Fury won "quite comfortable". Turned it off after that and won't "listen" to Shane Fury.

    Shane always gives a decent interview to be fair, usually very honest. You can see him stuggling with the script here though.

    That may have been the worst performance by a reigning world champion in history. In fact, it may have been one of the worst sporting performances ever period.

    I thought it was interesting how he was choosing his words.

    Clearly felt Fury wasn't in good shape and spent more time being a celebrity.

    Of all the post fight interviews from Team Fury it's the most honest.

    The "he won comfortable" stuff is just spin

    No it was on I June 2019 in Madison Square Garden New York.

    That will be very hard to beat.

    What i still dont get is....ngannou was terrible on the pads etc. After hearing about his power it was underwhelming to say the least.

    Still not even sure he was playing possum with it. Then puts on a great performance considering he genuinely looked poor in his training footage.

    Getting stopped by a guy who had been boxing since the day he was 5 and who was arguably robbed of a world title previously cannot be compared to getting dropped and arguably losing a points decision to an 0-0 boxer. Fury’s performance is the most embarrassing in heavyweight history. His reputation is finished.
