    I think it proves not to underestimated an opponent. A 100% focused Fury dances circles around Ngannou. Unfortunately, it has been far too long since we've seen a 100% focused Fury.

    That’s not really how it works though.

    No one but fanboys ever rated Fury as anything above mediocre.

    It proved that literally anything could happen to Fury and the fanboys/trolls like miniq and NEETs would still try to perform mental gymnastics to try and prop up his diminished legacy. Hilarious to watch.

    No matter how you slice it, the sport of boxing was massively exposed that night. And for all you calling fury mediocre, what does that say about boxing that a mediocre man became HW champ of the world undefeated? All the men he beat? What does that make them? Face it, boxing was exposed. What is the point of watching boxing if they're not even the best with hands?

    Well maybe but they're different types of fighters. AJ is definitely a harder sharper puncher. Fury has higher boxing iq, more variety, better defense (when he's on his game) etc

    Well I don't know about mediocre, at his best he was a huge guy that could move and box pretty well. But I hear what you're saying LOL

    This HW division is possibly the worst HW division in the last several decades

    It proves that Tyson Fury likes pies.

    Thats why I dont like these cross over fights in this way. Either its pointless like floyd vs connor or it makes boxing look terrible.
    I also think its unfair. If it was 4 rounds boxing followed by 2 mma or something it would be fairer and more fun since the boxer needs to oush the ko and the mma guy needs more stamina and look to finish the boxer.

    Are you picking Ngannou to beat AJ, or is he going to be 0-2 against professional boxers?

    Ngannou looked affected by Fury's punch power. I think Joshua will knock him out early.

    Perhaps Fury has just aged ?
