Current AJ? Debut AJ? Debut Francis + 1 defeat? The only thing that matters is current AJ. Current AJ makes a mockery of an Ngannou that leaps into elite level heavyweight boxing.
So why couldn't or didn't Fury make a mockery of Francis? on paper even an underprepared Fury should still style on him with ease.
Fury relied on his core strength. That core strength had no affect on a finely tuned 265 pound Ngannou. Ngannou was a 270 pound piece of iron clad concrete come fight night against Fury. I’ve never seen a boxer of the equivalent have you?
Not really lots of interesting specimens. now living in an era of giants. Joyce, Francis, Fury, Bakole, Zhang all 270-300 pound tanks although only Fury & Francis have shown grappling skills. Fury has always been well ahead of them all in terms of inside wrestling & grappling ability although never had a man bigger to test it, Francis not bigger but knows the artform and its translated to boxing. Fury's balance was off in that bout which made it easy for Francis to just powerhouse backwards a step and control a forward lumbering Fury.
“270-300 pound tanks although only Fury & Francis have shown grappling skills.” Bravo, bravo. The heavyweight division is a unique one and thank you for pointing that out. How did Fury fare in the grappling department against Ngannou? Distance is key, speed is key, power is key, controlling one’s ego is key, against this unique specimen, this foreign enemy in a Petri dish. We haven’t discussed chin but I’m sure that’s under control, considering the best are taking part in this.
We shall see. Fury is good, real good but as long as Usyk is around, Fury will always be 2nd best. And if AJ whoops Francis with ease, Fury will drop to 3rd.
Nope as long as Fury is around Usyk will always be 2nd best. Fury was champion before has held belts for longer and has held every single one of the belts in the division. Usyk has to beat Fury. Usyk was a non entity up till he beat the bodybuilder a man who basically got gifted belts whilst Fury was off on a jolly then fumbled around dropping them all over the place like a wet noodle.
More pro Smelly Belly propaganda and spin AJ has fought way more punchers amateur and pro than Belly and his estranged lover Bum Dosser have combined AJ Wlad Povetkin Whyte Fat Andy J-Park Helenius Martin Breazeale Amateurs Majidov Cammerelle Big Bang Zhang Big Joe Joyce Savon Nistor Whyte Dychko Kuzmin Frazer Clarke Belly The Dosser Whyte Chisora Ngannou
Because Fury was unfit, unprepared and is overrated - a shadow of the fighter who beat Wlad.... Since his return he's beaten a hypejob champion who hadn't beaten a single legit contender, the smashed up remains of Whyte and the zombie of career gatekeeper Chisora (who might well have beaten Wilder). Being unfit and underprepared makes a huge difference - being able to win at all despite that always suggests the opponent isn't all that good... Unfortunately that counts against Wilder, since Fury beat him in terrible condition in the third fight and arguably the first as well.
Lol. The desperation is real. Joshua's resume is leagues above that of Fury. Also, the guy has been acting like a champion, facing challengers, unlike Fury. Having 3 losses against top competitors is much more respectable and champion-like than having an artificial 0-loss-record padded with trilogies against Chisoras and one-trick-ponies while ducking everyone with a pulse. Not long now, miniq mate, until Usyk saves you. Come 18th May, he will humiliate Fury so you can live the next Fury-free chapter of your life.
You know who’s not a born fighter? Fat ass Fury. He hardly ever fights, backs out, ducks so much he has to shave the feathers off his head. I think you’re going to look like a fool when he waddles into thing ring and gets knocked out by the middle weight.
Right. That's why he fought Klitschko. That's why he fought an unbeaten, fierce, fresh, young Whyte at a time when Fury wanted absolutely nothing to do with Whyte (2019, diamond belt thing anyone?). That's why he is about to fight Ngannou. That's why he offered 100 million USD to The Dosser who chickened out and fought Fury instead. Never forget this when you talk nonsense about Joshua. The Dosser thought Fury was the easier fight, and even 100 million USD and an a shot at becoming undisputed couldn't make him face Joshua. I hope you will have the common decency to delete your account after Joshua beats Ngannou. I mean, you will have no credibility left at that point whatsoever after opening threads and making statements like that.
