    Funny thing for a career pillowfist to come out with.

    Which is why he retired during his prime, wasting his best years, to take large amounts of something else he couldn't live without... And why he's not got into the ring with either of the other two serious fighters since returning.


    It all rings a bit hollow... Like he's trying to psych himself up to actually get in there with Usyk, even though he'll probably lose.

    Ngannou doesn't have to say those things. He lives it.

    Fury not being a puncher is why he's so good you buffoon. Exact same applies to Usyk. Fury's accumulation beatings over 12 rounds are far worse than getting chinned early doors. I'd rather get chinned than my head popped off for 12 rounds by a 260 pound "pillow fist"

    Francis is still fighting for money and rightly so. UFC is slave wages. Francis with his Fury payday has secured himself for life now and his next paydays will do more than secure him for life, unless he is financially illiterate.

    It sounds like he's trying to convince himself.

    It is a long process what carries you to say this sentence. This is so true:

    "Changing your nature is the hardest thing to do. But I discovered that you can be who you choose to be." -- George Foreman

    Could I teach only one lesson to my kid it would be this one.

    If the fight dodging non-fighting Fury enjoys getting punched in the face and tasting blood then Uysk will be giving him the best night of his life because Fury is gonna be getting a beating if he ever grows a pair and gets into the ring to fight Uysk.
