    You have to say the Fury debacle, and what is most disturbing is that I don’t think Fury was particularly more out of shape than usual?

    "Gizza dodgy decision,go on giz it" Then Fury headbutts the ringside judges if they don't comply.

    You also have to obviously have to factor in the opposition, the expected performance and where the fighters were at that stage.

    Ngannou could well be competitive with some of the top contenders but I can't see him beating that many.

    The Ken Norton bout was a very good performance from Jimmy even though he was on the short end of a split decision. Sadly his last at elite level. His deterioration from that moment on was terrible and fast.

    Yeah, it was a bit weird how fast it went downhill from there.

    Ali and Young both looked like ****.
    Bowe didn't look so much bad as Golota looked fantastic. Showed Golota deserves to be on the "wasted potential" list.
    Fury looked like ****, Ngannou looked great, which just makes Fury look even more like ****. So Fury wins this **** prize.

    Ill go with Ali vs Young considering i havent watched the Fury vs Ngannou fight and not sure if i want to.

    Im not into the whole crossover and think it makes boxing look bad.

    The last crossover fight I saw was Holyfield vs Belfort and it was one pathedic fight to say the least.

    The crucial difference, is that Ali and Bowe were up against a peer, or near peer professional boxer.

    Fat as hell fury looked in terrible condition but Bowe looked like a shot fighter especially in the 2nd Golota fight
