    he has a lot of guts for sure. And I admire that. But he needs to go back to MMA.

    He’s still got some very good fundamentals for a starter. He’s a tremendous athlete and nothing but respect to him. I don’t think many other heavyweights would have been able to knock Ngannou out like that.

    Ngannou took boxing seriously against a complacent and competely unprepared Fury, and look what happened.

    AJ took boxing seriously against an embolded Ngannou...and...well, y'know.

    Don't know why people try to compare the two. This is boxing. He is a professional boxer. Ngannou is an amateur boxer that got offered a ton of money to show up and attempt to box.

    Crazy how much public perception of AJ has changed since the Franklin fight, people were saying he was done & now they're singing his praises again lol

    Have to say, I saw it against Wallin, but Joshua seems to have a lot more focus and 'calculated spite' in his game than I remember. But he did have 2 years out against Usyk so maybe that's why because he couldn't pin him down.

    Even if - by some miracle - Fury beats Usyk, I am not sure he goes in against Joshua after that

    The Jon Jones fight would be class.

    No, he wouldn't have. Regardless, that's besides the point. Usyk took those bombs from AJ, barely blinked. Nothing scrawny Fury will hit him with will give him even a moment's pause. Usyk walks right through him.
