    Wilder?! :lol::lol::lol:

    The chicken livered, chicken legged, can-crushing costume victim?

    Make no mistake, if Ngannou can beat AJ then he'd destroy the guy who spent his prime ducking unification against him.

    As you say, they're very different fighters... If have thought the most glaring difference would've been that AJ has legit power, where Fury never has done.

    The cleanliness thing is a good point... Where Fury wants referees who permit dirty fighting, that plays to Ngannou's superior strength - AJ will probably want a referee who stops the clinching etc.

    Fury might storm the ring if AJ wins to setup the super fight

    Ok, you're not a fan of Fury. But why lay the blame solely on him for not facing AJ? During AJs recent 3 fight winning streak, Franklin is fringe but easily went the distance. Helenius is past it. Wallin, not a big puncher, was the best of the bunch, and AJs best performance. AJ hasn't done anything spectacular compared to Fury - even if you ignore b2b losses to Usyk. Fury's last bouts (all wins) Wallin, 2xWilder, Whyte, Chisora, Ngannou are more than comparable.

    That's some convoluted reasoning there. Even anti Fury peeps agree that he took Francis lightly. It looks like you're setting up an excuse for AJ if he struggles or loses.
    The more correct take is - AJ has the advantage of knowing that Francis is not someone to take lightly.

    Nothing against AJ, but I hope Francis does well, whoever wins. Why? To see AJ idolizers eat some crow :sisi1

    Meanwhile Usyk is about sport and not showbiz antics.

    Fury flew out to start his camp in a week. What do you want him to do whilst the jet lag burns off? Sit in his hotel room and jerk off? If this bout was a week or two ago Fury would not be there.

    Just happens to be the way things work out....and will be the first time Fury has been ringside for AJ, he will have the honour of throwing the towel to save the bodybuilder.

    Yes I prefer chunky monke Fury but he needs to be able to pure box Usyk if he needs it so coming trim.

    But for what?
    He already got mega fight to make with Usyk. He should focus on this goal...

    If his camp starts in a week why is he there now making a show of himself at a bout unrelated to Usyk? He should be keeping as low a profile as possible after his stinker vs Ngannou and dubious pull out that I and many here predicted for last month and not putting on a clown show.

    Because Turkey gets what Turkey wants & Turkey wants Fury's beautiful face and body ringside....and so do I . The most colourful charismatic heavyweight since Muhammad Ali.

    Don't you mean Saudi? The buffoon is collecting some extra blood cash from His Excellency for pulling a few ringside stunts, might even invade it in the unlikely event Joshua loses.
