    Maybe but boxing is weird it's all about styles. Ngannou doing this to fury doesn't mean anything really apart from it would be interesting to see him fight again.

    Usyk pitches a shutout or very close to it.

    Much too fast and mobile.

    Usyk would throw 10 times the volume of punches Fury did

    Usyk & Fury are shot to pieces

    Both looking fragile and on the brink right now.

    Way past their best

    I don't know about that. He got knocked down. If he had any dignity he would have at least tried to repay the favor.

    The heavyweight division is the least skilled division in boxing where boxers can rely on size and weight to have a career, in tbe lower weights you need skill

    He just can't believe he barely won the fight against a fighter who made his pro debut.

    Fury certainly expected to get an easy payday (like his WWE performance) but the cherrypick has gone wrong.

    Fury has definitely lost a step or 3...

    Awful performance!

    Not to take anything away from Francis,. He done well and is a proper solid lion of a fighting man.

    Fury fights Usyk with that lack of a jab then he might as well hand over that WBC belt.

    I'd like to see Ngannou in another big fight just to see how much of his performance here is due to Fury's horribleness.

    I tried to tell all of you.

    Mma experience, kick boxing, muay thai,

    all combat sports that have striking, is all relevant.

    You cant just look at a wikipedia page and determine a winner, you have to look at all the elements

    chin, lead hook, rear hook, uppercut, jab, straight,

    Francis frame and clinch experience paid him well.

    Boxing purist for years said mma guys have glass jaws. Sorry but these mma guys are eating kicks to the head but not punches, come on.
