    I My main point of bringing all those fights , is that just because a guy does boxing by trade, doesn't mean he automatically gets a w or has an easy win.

    If you had asked the board how long Deji would last with FLoyd, most of you would have said rnd 1-2.
    A lot of people here thought Tommy would run through KSI.

    And I'm sure people on here thought Silva didn't have a chance. Hec i remember people thought Evander would beat Belfort because he was an mma guy. Boxing purist have an exaggerated perception about how wide the skills are.

    I'm not saying an mma guy can beat a high level boxer, but he's still dangerous and capable of an upset if the stars align and the boxer does not treat the threat level seriously or other factors can lead to an upset.


    Francis has a better chin and cuts down to make 260lb

    Francis is a super heavy. you can also look at his head shape and jaw line, he's much more thicker boned than Wilder who is a near 200lb -220lb range. Whyte also looks on the smaller side in terms of frame.

    One of the main reasons Fury bullies' guys, is because he uses his superior size and weight to drain the gas tank in the clinch. Francis is a better expert at clinch fighting and he can take spinning kicks to the head and not get koed, he can eat Fury's best punches.


    Roberto Duran summed it up perfect when asked about this fight. 'All fights are difficult, what makes a winner is the preparation part.' that is a summed-up version of the quote.

    How many of these cross over fighters included a boxer in his prime and of same size?

    I mean look what Jake Paul did to MMA guys when he weight bullied them.

    It's an exhibition fight. Ngannou is desperate for money. And Fury wants to make a name for himself in the US. It will probably end as an unanimous win for Fury. Scripted fight.

    I mean not really, the first Tyron fight was a split dec and Tyron was 40, as Jake also went split with Tommy and scored a knockdown.

    And his win on SIlva wasn't clean at all. Calling that 'bully' when Silva was literally egging him on to stop running is laughable.

    btw was Vitali not a kick boxer first? was he technically not a cross over fighter?

    He got wrecked koed in kick boxing and was a failed kick boxer but made it as a boxer.

    Incredible performance for a guy who has never had a boxing match before fight and did so well against Fury who is a legendary heavyweight in his own right. Ngannau showed very good stamina, chin, decent footwork and I would LOVE to see him against boxing's best. He can easily win a title.
