    I would like to see Usyk and Fury (especially Fury) prove this, before agreeing.
    Last time I saw him in a ring with someone else other than Usyk, he was getting decked and run close over 10 rounds with a 0-0 boxing semi-retired UFC fighter!
    That's true story.

    Yes you can sit there and try to argue like a donut that Zhang, Hurgovic, Dubious, The bodybuilder & Parker are on the same level as Fury & Usyk. WRONG.

    Ngannou is on Fury's level.

    "The grit or mental resilience of Joshua?" He hasn't shown that since the Wlad fight, and it left him when Ruiz punched it out of him. That's why he's fighting Fury's and Usyks leftovers and hiding in the shadows to pick up a splintered belt.

    Used to really appreciate AJ as a boxer for consistently fighting top ranked opponents, but he's being carefully managed at this point. It's sad to see.

    Yes.
    PEDs help you train and recover. The more you can train, the better your skills.

    It's not like they are magic pills that just make you able to lift more weight (though they can do that as well)

    I can't see it. He's 36 and wasted too many of his better physical years NOT engaging in crucial fights like Usyk. He isn't going to improve there.
    And I don't really understand this idea that I've seen in some areas of the media that Fury somehow wasn't mentally up for it. It was an undisputed fight against a fighter he knew was very dangerous. So I don't think his mentality can be improved upon - likely the opposite. His ego will have taken a beating too.
    It's not impossible he comes back better but I would say the odds are strongly against it.

    Ngannou is on Fury's level, just goes to show how overrated usyk is to other greats

    They will help you train to move better than you would without all the extra training they allow.
    What improves performance is training. PEDs allow you to train more. There's a good reason every athlete takes them.
    Yeah some people have a better starting point. PEDs won't make you 6'9 but they can make you the best you.

    Yet AJ fan boys will defend him fighting Ngannou. Joke fights that never should have happened.

    People are so biased. They just hate Fury and love Usyk. smh
    A disputed split decision will have no more effect on Fury than
    a draw with Wilder did. Fury will retool and come back.
    Unlike Joshua who had no plan B for Usyk and is still mostly
    shot mentally.
    Fury and Usyk are padding their bank accounts. It is actually
    to BOTH of their benefits for Fury to win the next one. Then
    they can get a rubber match before they both retire.

    A lot of them seem to be AJ fans piggybacking Usyks victory to hate on Fury. Even going as far as calling for Usyk to retire. Apparently 37 is too old to be fighting unless it's with AJ

    Fury erred fighting Ngannou right before Usyk.
