Worst performance by a world champion this year

Very relevant Mark

 

Obese people don't live to long past 50.

 

fulton was, funny as it sounds, one of inoues more challenging fights. actually may have won a round or two, landed a few good shots that would have put a less fighter down but inoue just ate. he is just special.

 

Taylor won a few rounds.

Nope...

Fury won the fight

Nope..

Programs didnt win a single round.

We got a winner!

 

I can tell you haven't watched many inoue fights, because fulton was not even a top 5 challenger.

 

Program was the worse by far. He got beaten by a guy who hits softer than Kleenex.

How the hell do you only land 36 hits out of 363? Literally 1 out of every 10.

 

Honourable mention for the Okoliepus against Chris Bangaverage-Smith.

 

Travis Fulton and Shawn Crawford need to have a fight

 

I went for Spence because he got hit around the face with a big fish all night like he predicted for the past few years

 

Tyson Fury embarrassed the sport of boxing this year. It was the worst performance this year by far.

At least Fury had a go.

 

First, I can't imagine Mike Tyson fighting anyone the size of the 272-pound ripped Francis Ngannou.

The two heaviest guys Mike Tyson ever fought were Danny Wiliams (265) and a complete oaf in Kevin McBride (271), and a 38-year-old Tyson lost BADLY to both.

Second, Muhammad Ali didn't exactly 'bask in glory' against Inoki, in a boxer-wrestler match that apparently was on the level. Most who managed to stick it out to the end of all 15 rounds had Inoki winning by whatever rules they'd cobbled together.

Ali spent most of the fight sitting on the ropes, too afraid to jump on Inoki (who spent nearly all night on his back) and pound away on him on the deck.

Ali-Inoki was an utter disaster, just months after most thought Ali lost to Jimmy Young.

Ali and Mike Tyson had plenty of 'bad' nights. And they were never against a monster remotely as dangerous as Ngannou.

 

So much copium to avoid the simple fact:

Fury got knocked down & eked out a SD to a Boxing novice. A lot of people actually thought he lost including 1 of the judges

Ali didn't fight Inoki in a Boxing match or did that miss your big brain?

I guess Fury's fans have 0 shame & just have to cobble together whatever excuses after that absolute humiliation

Ooh Ngannou is ripped, this ain't a Mr. Olympia contest

Ngannou was a Boxing novice who knocked Fury down in round 3 of a 10 round fight which means that Fury had 7 more rounds to a) knock Ngannou down b) KO him c) Bank the rest of the rounds in an emphatic fashion to erase all doubt & he did none of that. You can make up whatever copium you want about a 38 year old long past his prime Mike losing his last 2 fights after which he retired or Ali doing poorly in a non Boxing fight. None of that will ever erase the fact that a Boxing novice humiliated Fury *in a Boxing contest* & all of Fury's clown fans

 

What’s worse;

Getting knocked down by a huge 280lb MMA champion and officially the hardest hitting combat sports athlete of all-time, and still getting back up to win;

Or getting knocked down by midget feather-fist Devin Haney and failing to even win a single round?

Fury’s performance was horrible and showed that he treated the Ngannou fight like a joke, but Prograis was next-level trash.

Getting knocked down and 120-107’d by a poor man’s imitation of Floyd is grounds for retirement. Prograis should never box again.

 

And Mike Tyson flattened, humiliated and all but quit against two guys who were mostly fat and weighed 260-270.

And Ali humiliated himself against Inoki. Humiliated himself.

You're the one who brought those two names up. Yep, Fury looked like he hadn't trained a lick and didn't take it seriously at all. Yep, Fury got knocked down. Yep, it was a huge embarrassment.

But don't throw out names like Mike Tyson and Ali like they never humiliated themselves against complete nobodies, either.

You must not have been around then. It was a boxing ring. It was 15 rounds. Three-minute rounds. Ali had all his boxing gear and gloves on. He could hit Inoki all he wanted. The guy was crawling around like a crab on his back all night. And Ali sat on the ropes afraid to just get down and lay a beating on him.

How many heavyweight champions sit on the ropes in an actual fight and wouldn't attack a guy kicking them?

Hell, Riddick Bowe went NUTS when Elijah Tillery kicked him in their first fight.

The moment Inoki went to the floor and started kicking Ali's legs, Ali should've jumped on top of him and beat the crap out of him. Instead, he sat on the ropes, getting kicked in the legs, listening to boos, for an hour. And his legs were so damaged his doctor thought he had blood clots.

It was humiliating.
