    Even after Belly vs Ngannou E-Hearn is on record saying a anyone ranked in the top 100 could beat Ngannou. What a disingenuous lying widebody snake

    He always was.

    The real question was always, in my eyes, whether Usyk has already beaten #2.

    Even if we assume that PED fuelled Fury was better than AJ because he beat a younger Wlad...
    Is Fury since his return anywhere near his former self? Given that his wins were over massive hypejob Wilder and the broken shell of Whyte after Povetkin destroyed his chin, it's definitely an open question.

    If Fury weren't too chickeh**** to fight Usyk and AJ, we might know for sure.

    What is with this AJ save boxing? AJ save him self. He did what people expected him to do. As a former champ and someone with decades of experience he should stop a guy with 0-1 record.

    Ok, now let's calm down. Those three punches were telegraphed from Watford. Any decent boxer would have ducked or blocked them. Joshua literally wound up his arm to throw the punch and all Ngannou did was watch it coming.

    Fury did the same with Chisora who is hardly an amateur - you simply cannot do that to a guy like Fury without having some level of ability. Ngannou is a tremendous athlete with huge power. I give AJ a lot of credit for finishing it the way he did.

    Just don't call him champ.

    He isn't one.

    It's not complicated.

    Ngannou was a stationary target. When Joshua saw that he just unloaded on him. Ngannou is in no way even an average boxer.

    Y'know overall, I really liked this card. Had an upset on the prelims, Lerena doing his mother proud with a good performance and Chamberlain making a punching bag of Gwynne. Yeah, Kurbanov-Madrimov may have ended a bit prematurely, the Vargas-Ball fight was a bit sullied by some odd scores despite the fun fight, and Zhang-Parker ended up being a bit of a snoozer (though I'm happy for the Parker backers!), but that main event was pretty explosive for the short time it was on.

    The bloated in between time could've definitely done with some trimming, but I feel like the good fights were enough to make it feel like it was worth every penny. And hey, it's reignited interest in a potential AJ-Fury fight yet again! Hoping we see that regardless of the result of undisputed or if it even happens.

    Fun night of Boxing fellas, glad we all got to have fun with it all day. Now I'm off to go unconscious for 12 hours or so :lol:

    If AJ land on Usyk he closes the show.

    Evidently you do not know how to score a boxing match.
