Is Fury afraid that Joshua will convincingly knock out Ngannou while he failed to do so?

    Fair post mate but this isn't the same as someone fighting someone after someone else beat them and the opponent talked about in a totally different perspective

    Ngannu for instance should be treated as it is. A 0 and 1 boxer who refuses to fight 12 rounds due to limited experience.

    Should be a joke right but now he's a dangerous fighter etc.

    Agenda eh.

    Im not sure Fury beat Whyte more convincingly than AJ. Sure AJ got momentarily stunned in round two but he absolutely battered Whyte the rest of the fight. Whyte did really well just to make it out of the first round in that fight.

    Not to mention Joshua was a 14 fight novice

    Whyte was a novice too though.

    and against K. Johnson, and (arguably) against D. Whyte

    Ngannou will be common opponent number 5, and Usyk will be number 6!

    This is really why we need to see Joshua v Fury before they both retire.

    Bit of a stretch to classify him as a novice.

    Whyte (27) had already been a pro-boxer for over 4 years when he fought Joshua (he was 16-0). He also had a 20-1 pro kick boxing career before that, and 1-0 in MMA. He also beat Joshua as an amateur

    Sure, Whyte improved over the years after Joshua's fight. But for me, as someone who likes Whyte, I'd have to say the 27-year-old version Joshua fought was superior to the version with the cracked chin that Fury fought who put in one of the worst efforts we have seen from a mandatory.

    Joshua has a 90% KO record and 3 losses. Fury has a 70% KO record and no losses.

    I know which record I'd rather have and I wouldn't be envious of the other.

    I'm sure Fury the world champion is super scared that AJ (not champion) is going to beat up some MMA guy who Fury sparred with when he was fat and out of shape between fights.

    Whyte struggled with Dave Allen the year after losing to AJ and basically lost to Chisora. His technique was atrocious, he didn't even know how to throw a right hand. Looked embarrassing at times. No power except for a few left hooks.

    Sure his chin was better against AJ, but his overall ability wasn't.

    Francis can take a punch. His head is literally welded onto his shoulders. Can AJ take a hit from those iron ingot fists? That question makes it an interesting fight.

    And I would say he looked embarrassing against Fury too. Basically,
    Whyte leaving Mark Tibbs doesn't seem to have been a very good idea after that Wach fight. He has regressed.

    But all the same he was still considered a top 10 fighter, so Fury still deserves credit

    Id argue that Fury made wallin and Ngannou look like killers, and aj made wallin look like he is area level
