Usyk will dominate Ngannou. Usyk's skill set is way above Ngannou's. there is just no changing that. a completely different fight would be seen and Ngannou would gas badly in a Usyk fight. probably be ko'd in about 9 rounds max.
Even if Fury really did underestimate Ngannou and didn't train, Usyk wouldn't do the same, he's too professional.
AJ beat a Wlad that was actually interested in fighting and let his hands go. Yes AJ took more damage than Fury, but Wlad actually took some damage against AJ where Fury barely made a dent. And the idea that Fury using the Okoliepus hug and foul method is a "cleaner" win is ****ing laughable... That was a real spoilers victory, a win nonetheless but far from a dominant performance against an opponent at his best.
Aj isn't even better than Wilder. Look at their common opponent. This content is protected This content is protected Aj had a swollen eye and a bloody nose in the end of it. Neither Fury, Wilder , would struggle that much with a bum. I honestly think Aj will lose to Fury and even Wilder. And if Fury beats Usyk, Francis performance ages well.
It wasn't a bad performance though was it? That was standard Fury. The only thing different from his last 8 years was a decent opponent.
Usyk has the power to really hurt him and maybe even KO him with the right shot but it takes a lot of power to overcome that size. Ngannou never fought someone with Usyks chin and Usyks has been in the ring with poweful guys.
Francis punch was behind the ear and Fury didnt see that slow punches and punch like that one are 9/10 instant KO but it didnt do ****. Francis is a HW, he hits hard but the fact that Fury couldnt see that slow punch says a lot about Furys current state. Usyk has been in the ring with the most powerful guys in boxing.
Fury's eyes looking up at Ngannou say very differently. 'It didn't do ****', is that why Fury ran for the remainder of the round?
Let's be real Yes, Francis is apparently talented, and he would probably be a TOP10 boxer, if he started Pro-Boxing 15 years ago But now, no, he wouldn't KO Usyk and he wouldn't beat any of the elite contenders in a 12 rounder
