    does this redeem him in your eyes for the Ngannou fight?

    Yes. But he still has to rematch Ngannou.

    Unless someone else KTFO Ngannou before that.

    Not too many fighters are calling out Ngannou though. I mean he can’t fight right??!! So easy money right??!! Big bucks!!!

    So why is no one explicitly calling him out??!!

    Fury is irredeemable in the eyes of a Fury hater

    Big bucks? I don't think he is. A fight Vs NGannou is low risk and low reward. It's a bit pointless.

    Yes if his last two fights are against Usyk and AJ and he beats them both he retires a great.

    It was a money grab for Fury. So there must have been money involved.

    Ngannou is the hottest item in combat sports now. Have him fight in February against another Top 10 guy now in Riyadh. All these guys are getting paid. Or they would not be able to put together stacked cards on short notice like that.

    Anyone Fury fights is a money fight, because it's Tyson Fury.

    But Hrgovic Vs NGannou wouldn't be a big money fight for example.

    I wanna see NGannou Vs Chisora, that's the level I think he is.

    Yes, as long as he doesn't retire or magically **** dirty for PEDs again (or both).

    If he can beat Usyk fair and square, without excessive hug+lean, and then win the rematch, then the Ngannou fight is just a blip... I'd like to see him rematch it, but realistically it's unlikely to happen.

    I think that’s the only guy that called him out.

    What if the hug and lean is the same amount as Wilder 2/3? is that excessive?

    Like I said, he's got an 0-1 record. Beating him doesn't give any kind of reward for anyone other than Fury

    Aight if you say so. I think he will be a career high payday for a lot of fighters.

    He's never won a boxing fight. I don't see the clamour at all.

    A few weeks ago I would have answered no, but now the dust has settled? I would say beating usyk without controversy redeems himself

    I know Leon Spinks was much more accomplished than Ngannou when he fought Ali, gold medal and all, but Ali losing to the much less experienced Spinks doesn't change his wins vs Foreman, Frazier etc

    The night vs Ngannou was still really bad no matter what way you cut it, but it looks just as bad in others that he pushed Fury close

    You don't want to be the guy who got whipped by the guy, who had a huge scare vs mma guy

    If Fury wins (which I think he will) it will help improve his declining reputation and repair some of the damage the Ngannou fight did. A win over Usyk and a big fight with a guy like AJ would cap off a largely excellent career.
