Does Fury's Performance With Ngannou Affect His Standing?

[billeau2]

Why would beating a clown like Usyk give Fury any standing? Lennox was the last great heavyweight: Everything since has been a clown show. Professional boxing is dead as a relevant sport and only attracts the dregs of the world-wide sporting community; no amount of verbal ************ is going to resuscitate it.

The problem is partially the promoters and Saudi money. Fighters are being managed, like an employee with stock options, more than fighting for glory. The public buys it... I would feel better if all fighters were taken care of, but it only the 1% of fighters who are allowed to avoid real fights that have meaning for legacy. I hated King... I hate Arum, but what we have now is not really much better for the average fighter. Fury is kind of disgraceful and that is a shame.

I believe Usyk is the best heavyweight in the world right now, with the right size and skill set to antagonize Fury, possibly beat him. The Ruskie might not be able to handle Wilder's blitz; we would have to see.

I agree my friend, but the WBC has let him get away with it for 2 years. The WBC has been quick the strip a champion of his title. They strip Monzon of his title who did nothing but fight top contenders. Because he didn't fight Valdez. A man Monzon hated. How long will this go on? It's been two years and counting.

They eventually had to force him to make the Whyte mandatory
