    Fury because Ngannou knocked him on his *** and arguably deserved the nod, he saw the bell. Regardless if the stoppage was early, Usyk forced the stoppage and got the job done. Paul did nothing but run and flop around and occasionally exchange. His jaw was snapped. He didn’t even get KO’d by it though he’s brave but stupid. He would say he is a pro boxer with tons of fights at that point and the other two aren’t so does that make his performance even worse?

    Joshua vs Paul because Jake Paul is not a boxer; he lost to Tommy Fury over 8 rounds and somehow bullshitted his way into a fight with Joshua. That is a fight that should never have been entertained by Hearn or AJ, regardless of the amount of money on the line, and the fact it didn't end brutally within the first 2 rounds and took him 6 is more embarrassing than Ngannou vs Fury. Ngannou vs Fury was a disgrace, but he is an elite combat sports professional, not a YouTuber.

    Fury because he was dropped and got a gift decision.

    Usyk and Joshua both won by KO, so nothing to be embarrassed about.

    None were embarrassing. These guys are prize fighters and those were massive prizes. Make the most of your window of opportunity. There is no pension in boxing. If people don't like it, don't buy it or watch it. I don't like cricket or basketball, ballroom dancing or bicycle racing. So I just dont watch them. Seems simple

    I mean Fury was extremely lucky not to lose to Ngannou and he got knocked down.

    Fury had the worst performance but Usyk's was more embarrassing for the sport because he is held in much higher regard than Fury ever was, and unlike Fury, Usyk was never known to be a guy that would blow hot and cold when it came to performances.
