    While I agree with a lot of your post I don’t think the referee changed the result. I think AJ is the superior fighter to Parker and would beat him pretty much every time. Granted the referee did not help, but he also prevented AJ landing his signature uppercut on the inside as well.

    As for AJ vs Wilder, the Ngannou fight is a cherry pick in my eyes and unsurprising. However, I think Wilder vs AJ has lost a lot of its sparkle and would not be as big nowadays. Still, I agree it would outperform the Ngannou fight.

    The ref ****ed up, but it's wishful thinking that this benefitted the stronger fighter with the better mid range game.

    The referee was a joke but it’s hard to say who it inhibited more as I think both guys have solid inside games.

    Joshua has by far the more lethal uppercut, and also a better left hook. Anyhow, I don't see a need for saying he would have won even more conclusively otherwise. It's a shame it happened, but all we know is that Joshua won fairly easily and should leave it at that. This absolute nonsense that he was somehow gifted the win... Well, that one opinion instantly marks the one who has it as a moron.

    You can't really be dumb enough to think it wasn't a significant factor. Not saying AJ couldn't still win, but it heavily disadvantaged Parker being the smaller fighter.

    I'm not acting dumb. He's fighting a 0-1 novice. It's fact. That Ngannou looked better than expected against Fury is irrelevant because he still lost.

    I'd rather see Wilder vs AJ, and if you'd rather see top heavyweights fight MMA fighters that's your prerogative. No need to get stroppy or throw insults around because you disagree.

    Hypocrisy at its finest. Ngannou doesn't deserve any shot. Both Fury and aj should be condemned for this nonesense

    Fury got death for this and rightly so, yet Aj is being declared brave?? Lol

    Aj has fought soft touches for too long other than the 2 fights with Usyk

    He might get through Ngannou, but he will have to face another puncher eventually. It's evident that matchroom are afraid to test his chin/hurt with someone who can land bombs. If Ngannou lands clean? He will stop Aj

    The guy has quit before when the going gets tough and he will quit again

    For all of Furys rubbish outside the ring and sometimes rubbish inside? They guy has no quit in him and will keep coming.

    Joshua is a front runner. A typical bully who will fold AGAIN when the going gets tough

    When Francis grazes AJ's soft face AJ is going to have a panic attack 100%

    This ain't all the non punchers or old midgets he fought Wlad included although Wlad should have bodied him.

    Francis is going to slap him out of the gate and you'll see AJ's eyes widen up when he realizes he's not the shark yet again and this isn't a midget like Usyk or Ruiz looking for blood, it's a bonified killer of a man.

    Francis isn't just going to KO this fraud he's going to batter him pillar to post. Francis is going to tear that Africa tattoo right off AJ's body & skin him alive. Show him what a real Cameroonian does to a bodybuilder.

    Fury was taking them shots off Francis and went into game mode and handled it, AJ won't be able to handle it. That simple.

    Yes, I'm five years old and still able to pick apart your post for the nonsense it is. So, congratulations?

    Except you didn't pick apart anything, and conveniently didn't address anything else. You have fun now.

    I'm so sorry man, I meant Whyte. it was in the very early rounds I believe and AJ was on the verge of being knocked out

    He was hurt but I wouldn’t say on the verge of being knocked out. That fight was an absolute brawl.

    I just feel like once Whyte hurt him with that left, if Wilder was in there ,he would be knocked out. It was pretty evident that the reason why Ruiz KO'ed him besides his speed, was that unlike Wlad and Whyte, he finished what he started.

    If you watch Whyte vs Joshua, Whyte just lets him recover the rest of hte round, you can tell he is hurt. Wlad did the same thing, he lands a right and then he just proceeds to take it easy and just box him,giving him time to revover.

    When you watch him fight Ruiz, after Ruiz knocks him down the first time, you see he is about to make the same mistake (don't remember the round). But then he suddenly throws a lot of punches and knocks him down, problem is, it was the end of the round. Then he kncoks him down again in a later round, only this time, he doesn't make the same mistake of letting him recover and just throws a lot of punches after the first knockdown and he wins.

    Wlad never had to lose to AJ,neither did Whyte, they just didn't finish.

    I'd need to be pretty drunk to watch this fight I think but the undercard is so good i'm starting to feel grateful for it.
