    Ruiz would be hilarious for the contrast in physiques. It should be AJ though.

    His fight with Fury was awful and absolutely no rematch should be thought of. I don't think it's fair to expect Francis to fight Wilder - there are loads of less dangerous fights where he can make some big dough and he deserves to fight them.

    Makdomov v Francis
    That should gauge his top ten standing some of what's been called

    How much money did he make from this fight?

    Wasn't clean, wasn't dominant. He basically won through experience and bull shitting a few rounds by just winning by a few jabs. Was a close fight, but Fury's experience got him through.

    I can't understand anyone who says it was a robbery, struggled to score clear rounds for Francis other than 3 and 8.

    Do you think $50m is worth the ridicule and tarnish to his legacy? Would you take $50m and take that outcome if you were in his position?

    Furys smart with his money, still lives like a average Joe so regardless he is set for life but he can't take criticism well so he'll be hating this period.

    Never accept criticism from those you wouldn't go to for advice.

    Fifty million dollars is a lot of money and if you refused it just because people would mock you then you'd be mocked for turning down fifty million. It's lose-lose and only one decision leads to fifty million dollars.

    I think Fury has made it clear from the jump that he’s about his finances..

    Was it bad for boxing YES. Because Fury could win every round against Usyk and KO him late and many will call boxing overrated because a guy with 0 professional fights was robbed by the undisputed HW champion of the world. Usyk could wipe the floor with Fury and some will still say Fury was past it a 36 year old MMA fighter with 0 fights was robbed against him. So basically somebody else has to fight and annihilate Francis for boxing’s credibility.

    But to ask was $50 million worth it for Fury is insane. His family can be set for generations based on 1 30 minute fight with gloves on. Of course it was worth it.

    AJ or Fury rematch because it needs to be a massive pay day because good chance he loses the next one badly.

    According to WBC president Sulaiman they are going to rank Ngannou in the top #10. So opportunities should come his way.

    Would like to see Wilder-Ngannou.

    He is absolutely going to box again because the money is going to be too good compared to what he can make in the MMA arena.

    Ideally it'd be Wilder and AJ next year, Fury rematch 2025. Lifetime securing generational wealth and then the potential to return to MMA with perhaps still a bit left in the tank. Either that or a two fight deal with Wilder - one boxing match, one MMA fight, or mixed rules of some kind like 3 rounds boxing, then a final round which is MMA. Say what you will about Wilder but he is much more likely to go for that than any of the other big name boxers are.
