    Parker beat Zhang fighting scared, keeping him at the end of his punches and still ended up getting dropped twice. Kabayel walked through hellfire and brimstone, chopped him down like a redwood, and stopped him in 6 rounds. If Zhang's immense terrifying concussive one punch power can't slow down Kabayel, Fury's power sure as **** can't. Again, I shouldn't have to explain the differences in their stylistic approach to you, and how Kabayel's approach, if applied to Fury, wouldn't bode well for him. It should be self evident.

    Why would Fury 16 months out fight Kabayel, Kabayel said he'd never fight Fury also because Fury helped him get to where he is.

    Madmudov is a good ring rust fight ready for a real fight against Usyk or AJ end of summer.

    Meanwhile AJ isn't fighting....straight into Fury or maybe even Wilder.

    Parker was the second best heavyweight in the world for a short stretch.

    This buddy-buddy culture needs to stop. Now Fury ain't fighting both Kabayel and Parker, cause they are mates, lol.

    Dude! Everyone picked Makhmudov to beat Kabayel, Sanchez to beat Kabayel and Zhang to beat Kabayel. Except for me, I picked Kabayel to beat all three. Well, I was right, and they were wrong. Of course now they're making excuses and spinning like a mother****er, trying to retroactively dissect and tear down all three of them. Trying to laugh it off after the fact. But that's what always happens in this sport with hateful fans who don't want to acknowledge reality, and choose to live in a world of fantasy. Which is why they react so irrationally when the illusion is shattered. I tried to warn all the same people that Usyk was going to school AJ and Fury as well. As always, they didn't listen, and he did... twice, to both of them!:rolleyes:

    Hes never fighting Fury so you won't see how mediocre he would look.

    Young Fury decimates Kabayel...but Kabayel is the fresher man now. Definitely a much closer fight.

    Boxing is still about business. I feel like Fury AJ is a bluff and we're getting Fury Usyk 3 with an AJ Wilder co main.

    I have to agree with the sentiment (not so much the insult). Kabayel is one of the top 3 or so HWs in the world right now. Might even be #2.

    Kabayel is what people THOUGHT Bakole might be after the Anderson fight — a legitimate boogeyman. Real solid skills, great engine, durable, can recover when hurt, solid power to the head, top tier power to the body. Mean pressure fighter.

    There’s a reason he focuses on those body attacks so much. It’s that he’s got some weird biomechanics going on where he’s in the top tier power class when throwing body shots, but a rung down when throwing head shots. This was clearly noticed by a trainer real early on, so he’s built his style around it.
