    Clearly getting knocked down by a novice to Boxing in your own damn sport & only eking out a SD even though you have *7 more rounds* to erase any doubts is a 1000 times worse than whatever 34 year old Prograis (who looked like sh*t in his last fight against a far worse opponent than Haney) did against a young career Boxer

    The forum certainly feels so which is why Fury is handily winning the poll & Fury fans have to save face by pretending Ngannou is some ripped monster that all the rest should fear

    Zhang was willing to face him on the 23rd but Ngannou said no. I guess its best for Fury cultists that way because you don't want Zhang KO'ing Ngannou & making it look easy because that would make Fury look bad

    So much verbal diarrhea to avoid the fact that Ali never fought Inoki in a Boxing match & you have to bring up 38 year old Mike Tyson's last 2 fights to save your clown hero

    Hey aren't you the guy that was boasting about having Wilfredo Gomez tapes or something after saying you don't care about midget weight classes lmao

    Man you boomers & your weird flexes. Time for your bedtime grandpa

    You're the one who brought up Ali and Tyson, like they never would've embarrassed themselves in the ring. Go back to YouTube.

    Learn to read grandpa:

    I mean can you imagine what people would be saying if Ali or Tyson went out & managed to get themselves knocked down & barely eked out a SD against a guy making his Boxing debut?

    Were McBride & Williams making their Boxing debuts?

    Did Ali fight Inoki in a Boxing match?

    I will go watch youtube, you stick to grainy old VHS tapes & pretend to be dropping some esoteric Boxing knowledge

    Was Lyle Alzado? Dumbass. Have you ever seen Ali-Alzado? How close was that? Of course not. How many fights did Alzado have? You don't even know who Lyle Alzado is.

    Oh ****, it isn't listed on Boxrec, so you can't act like you know anything about it. Clown.:hang

    I hate it when guys who started following boxing during Covid come on and act like they know it all.:pipi

    Tyson Fury isn't the first heavyweight champion who has embarrassed himself in the ring, and he won't be the last.

    2012. :hang Now I know why you're so hung up on tapes. You are too young to have ever owned any. Dummy.

    I probably have 8,000 fights you haven't even seen yet, because they aren't on YouTube.

    Novice.

    All these **** talkers and nothing to back it up.

    Right. At least Fury-Ngannou was exciting. Haney is routinely dull. But that Shakur Stevenson fight was beyond brutal.

    Most worst performances aren't in entertaining fights.

    There seems to be a recurring theme running through these abysmal performances

    Belly
    Shakur
    Jermello
    Fulton
    Taylor
    Spence
    Rougarou

    They were all facing big punchers or murderous punchers sans Rougarou who like Spence was just terribly inept and clueless regarding what to what to do to find an answer for the stylistic challenge their opponent posed them

    What do I keep telling you guys about it being different when you face punchers and KO artists, especially ones your size? Lions often morph into scardey-cats

    Most of them retreated into their shells and fought scared

    Taylor started off well enough but he seemed to lose steam very quickly and retreated into his shell in fear of Teo's power

    Jermallo was moving up two weight classes and coming off a long layoff but he fought like a petrified gazelle as opposed to lion and fought only to survive fron round 1 after tasting Ginger's power

    Belly fought like a female dog too but to be fair Ngannou Is 280lbs of solid muscle and can punch holes in castle walls. Absolutely shameful performance by Belly nonetheless

    Fulton pooped his pants after tasting the power of smaller fighter who was campaigning in their 4th weight class and making their debut at the weight

    Shakur was terrified of Dos Santos' power who is the same size as him

    It's hardly a coincidence that some of these graduated at a fear based school of slickness: Shakur and Fulton

    And I'm going to include Jermello even though he isn't a slickster and doesn't usually fight the chicken style because he obviously has that on his locker and decided to give us a demonstration of his chicken skills for that fight

    I'm also going to include Belly who might not have graduated at a fear based school of slickness but he sure as hell modeled his style on the American school from a boy

    Now I ask thee again why do we never see Usyk, Loma and Bivol stinking out the joint when they're outboxing their opponents and they've fought way more punchers than most of those guys and are often or most of the time smaller, much or way smaller than than their opponents? But you want to talk P4P skills? Really?

    The only instance it's really happened is the first six rounds of the Teo fight but Loma was fighting the hardest puncher in the division with dynamite in both hands who was way bigger and heavier and is lightening fast and super athletic and explosive and even then he bit down in his mouth piece and walked Teo down in the second half of the fight.

    And let's not forget Teo's power forced the huge career 140 pounder and top guy at the weight Taylor into his shell who is bigger than him not way smaller like Loma and Taylor has fought lots of big and huge punchers at that weight

    The MMA fighter wasn't a striking novice, is a clear roid head and is famous for his one-punch power.
    Fury disgraced himself even taking that fight but it was obvious that opponent always had a puncher's chance if you followed UFC during his time there.

    Boxing people think somehow that other strikers can't take punches or land punches in a boxing match. It's pretty weird. There are a ton of crude boxers who have success at the high level just being tough and throwing big shots, some of which eventually land. This is especially true at HW, the least skilled division.

    Unlike clean as a whistle Fury whose greatness stems from pure British boar meat

    People who live in glass houses (Fury fans) shouldn't be throwing stones

    Agree with a lot of this.

    And TBF that's why I wasn't joking when I said Okoliepus belongs on the list... Fighting terrified against powerful (but not murderous) CBS, and couldn't stop hugging on for grim death even when it became obvious the ref wasn't completely ignoring it for a change.

    CBS is okay, but not nearly good enough for a supposed champion to be fighting like that - **** poor from the 'Pus.

    Spence vs Crawford for me, Spence folded like a deck chair on a cold winters morning.
