    Fury

    Got off the couch first wilder fight robbed got a draw.

    Next two stomped a hole in him literally ground him into dust and finished his career. Bloke had blood coming out of his ear.

    Joshua

    Fought a twenty five to one underdog in new York and got smashed up.

    Ran to Saudi Arabia thanks to a rematch clause and fought a blancmange in the biggest ring they could find in the desert. Which is pathetic and the rematch should have been at Madison Square garden.

    Whens the rubber match?

    Great wins by Fury vs Wilder and agreed he won all 3.

    My issue is the third fight was 28 months ago and he has fought Whyte Chisora and Ngannou since.

    That is so true, no wonder he is seen as a joke in the states.

    Hey bud fair comments and I can't disagree with much of that.

    What I will say is whyte was mandatory and lots of the usual crap was spouted he's scared, Whyte will destroy him lol.

    Chisora fight was pointless due to the fact he'd shown levels years ago. Id rather it was kabayel who is the only other boxer I've seen make it look easy work.

    Ngananu I thought was a joke but then I saw him at the final press conference and I said to my mate this guy ain't coming to make up the numbers and he said he's not gonna last a couple of rounds.

    Then at the weigh in I though ****ing hell this guy looks like a black incredible Hulk and the way he basically flexed his pecs and knocked Tyson back lol.

    I'm still kicking myself that I didn't bet on the knock down then fury points when it popped up lol.

    I'm intrigued to see if that was Francis's night or if he can replicate it.

    I mean the bloke is 20 stone of muscle and punches seem to bounce off him.

    Also has naturally heavy hands which I guess make him a danger for anyone and an absolute mare if he gets hold of you.

    Very unfair that he has leap frogged a fair few fighters though on the back of one performance.

    What I will say is though that if he beats usyk there's going to be a ton of excuses and very little credit given as per usual.

    Yep needs to fight him again mate.

    Unlikely to happen in the states though now like it ever would anyway.

    I think it was a bit of both. Ngannou wasn’t the novice we all thought but Fury took it lightly.

    Unfortunately mate, you are correct. If Fury wins there will be excuses, and vice versa. They are 1 and 2 (in whatever order) The winner should be applauded but it rarely happens.

    You know what pal,

    I thought he looked shot but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

    We shall see.

    This is really cracking me up at the moment. They bill Journeyman Joshua as a two-time champion for being battered by an average little fat guy and then running away from an even fatter version. It’s just a silly concept.
