Is Fury afraid that Joshua will convincingly knock out Ngannou while he failed to do so?

    AJ is just an all out shithouse and entire career has used Whyte and Fury to give him the blueprints to other opponents. The guy is a genuine fraud who has milked an amazing wealth from the football fan side of the business. Hearns pulled a blinder over the majoritys eyes....but thats what happens to the sheep who buy into the narrative.

    I prefer winning to losing. Sounds like you prefer losing to winning?

    Yup, it's pretty obvious how Fury has been marketed.

    As for Joshua getting blueprints from Whyte, lol, that is such a weird take (of course @MarkusFlorez99 likes it)

    Whyte and Joshua have 4 mutual opponents:
    Parker, Povetkin, Franklin, and Helenius

    Joshua fought Parker and Povetkin first, which suggests he used Whyte to get information to be able to beat fringe contenders like Franklin or (eventually) Helenius... doubt that one somehow

    Boxers often have mutual opponents, and Fury and Joshua fight nothing alike.

    Actually, I wish Fury would use Joshua to give him a blueprint for opponents, maybe he would have a decent list of names on his resume by now, instead of trilogies against Wilder and Chisora

    100% AJ did much better against Wallin.

    AJ still has to beat Ngannou, there's no guarantee of that.

    Wlad was almost 2 years older and had already been dethroned by Fury when AJ faced him. The fight was more entertaining but it was a much closer fight than when Fury beat Wlad.

    Lol you mean the four week notice much older wallin, looked bashed up with a broken nose before even got in the ring, who turned up for a pay check and basically give up 30 seconds in and showed absolutely no will to win at all.

    Absolutely pathetic it was but give Joshua his due used his physicality against someone offering nothing back which he's happy to do until he gets hit back.

    Styles make fights.

    Also fury won ten two with one eye.

    Didn't Joshua go life and death with shot old Vlad and wobbled by plodder Whyte?

    This is easy to do but it's fairly tedious and boring.

    Triangle theories rarely ever work.

    When someone puts it on Joshua again he will fold.

    Could go fight that Mexican again one one and all that, in reasonable sized ring. When he's in decent condition in the US ya know instead of legging it to Saudi Arabia for a rematch in the biggest ring they could find.

    Shot old wilder? Nah but happening.

    Anyway now that I've had a bit of banter and fun onto what I was actually getting at

    Ngannu is a bit of an unknown and there may be more to him than meets than meets the eye.

    It's still a gimmick fight and should be spoke about as such.

    Ngannu should not be being talked about as this big threat lol just like wallin shouldn't have been.

    It's a crap all round post to be honest. Maybe it was relevant in 2016 or something but Joshua has earned his stripes since then, and tasted defeat and come back stronger. I'm not his biggest fan but I respect him a lot more now than I respect Fury who has embarrassed boxing and jerked around too many fighters and fans to ever be forgiven. I don't see how anyone is still a fan of his honestly.

    "As for Joshua getting blueprints from Whyte, lol, that is such a weird take (of course @MarkusFlorez99 likes it)"

    That bloke strikes me as a proper weirdo. It's like Joshua did something personal to him. It's actual hatred. Weird man. Hope he gets help.

    Yes exactly those guys, fury fought them and made them look elite.

    Who said anything about triangle theories.?

    Wallin is most definitely not a threat, only a poor boxer would make them look like that. It is still a gimmick fight with ngannou I agree. It's only the fact that Fury was so $hit against him, that this fight got made.

    Fury made both of these low skilled fighters look like they deserved to be in there.

    Because I have memory and don't sweep everything under the rug.

    And there's plenty more. "Eddie Chambers" is a good one.
    "I don't see how anyone is still a fan of him honestly." You should keep the same energy for aj, even if you respect his style

    Is that really it? I don't think so.

    Lots of boxers say silly stuff but back it up in the ring. Joshua is one of those. But like I said, I'm not his biggest fan. I just don't hate him like you seem to. Why don't you hold the same hatred for Fury if out of the ring comments get you so worked up? He's said far worse, and he does far worse, like stringing fighters along, keeping belts hostage, faking injuries, taking on washed up fighters and all that.

    Nah, it's something personal you have against Joshua and it's weird and obsessive. You should probably let it go. Can't be healthy, can it?

    I'm not a fan of Fury atm for the recent shenanigans so half the post is irrelevant. But what's Fury said that's far worse beyond building up a fight ? I don't remember anything racist, playing the victim card, spazzing after two losses, disrespecting Usyks win on national television, trying to fight Lomachenko, or him trying to confront some highschoolers in their own school. Now imagine behind closed doors

    Fury kicking a taxi car while drunk ? Fury keeping the belts hostage ? Half the blame is on Mauricio Sulaiman for not inforcing enough madatories outside of Whyte. Crappy personality but the main jabs are nothing but criticizing the politics. Furys just another Mayweather trying to matchmake carefully. I don't like either as a person but I know who I'd rather be friends with

    Are you kidding? He's said plenty of racist and sexist and homophobic stuff in the past. Google it. Really easy to find. And playing the victim card? Mental health and being discriminated against for being a gypsy ring any bells? He hasn't spazzed out after a loss, but he's run from the ring in shame, refused rematches and faked injuries to get out of hard fights. And he's threatened guys in interviews like True Geordie, been involved with big name gangsters like Kinehan, and has a nutter for a dad who's constantly influencing his actions. That's someone you'd rather be friends with?

    I don't think Joshua's a nice guy, he seems arrogant and probably a bit unhinged, but he's no worse than a lot of boxers. So I don't buy any of the above reasons. It's something more.

    Can you kindly show said racism ? I don't remember Fury deliberately being racist. He had 1 sexist remark, but he has a loving wife and kids, add on to the fact he's a walking contradiction and I don't take him as seriously. Fury had mental health issues in the past and even his wild claims can be attributed to it. From what u can tell, a lot of people hate Gypsys in europe, so it's not far fetched, although Furys victim scenarios are no where near as out of bounds as aj. Lets not forget about Joshua calling Eddie Chambers a disgrace to the black race, and that post fight interview. I'm glad Usyk called him out for the nonesense he pulled, trying to fight Lomachenko. Ridiculous. Perhaps he regrets it though, which is why he cried lol.

    Yeah I'd rather be friends with Fury. I know because he has much more of a social life than Joshua, and many get along well with him under wraps as soon as they meet him. This points to his (boxing) antics just being that. The same can't be said for aj
