Comments Thread For: Otto Wallin Understands Why Fury Is Fighting Ngannou But Believes The WBC Should Strip Him

[Since1976]

Once he has him in the Clinch, Fury won't be able to Anything. That's why boxers never go to MMA. Take away their stricking and they are useless. Imagine if Fury went into the cage against Francis. It's mistmatch.

100% correct but, we can't forget that the top MMA guys use strikes to prevent opposition from using the clinch. Everyone thinks James Toney and forgets Ray Mercer. This was another lifetime ago but, no training vs judo black belt and judo guy got smoked, same with the champ wrestler 6 years later. That said, the more tools in your arsenal the better your chances, as a smaller guy I knew how to sprall. I'll bet on the straight right over the take down in a street fight every day.. Seen old guys smoke young cats with a simple 1,2 standing at the bar waiting to order.. basically no space..

Fury in a MMA fight would be comedy gold, those legs would get broken..

Help me with the math there. He last fought 12/22 (Chisora) and 4/22 (Whyte) before that, and at least he's stepping into the ring yet again next month (sure it's a b.s. fight boxing fans at least aren't happy about). Were you referring to when he last fought Wilder? Jermall Charlo hasn't fought PERIOD in TWENTY-SEVEN months and he still has his belt...

True.

Anderson Silva came from a boxing background with skinny legs, even broke a leg, but did allright for himself.
anything can happen, right?

False he was doing TKD, capoeira and muay thai as a teen.

The condition should have been Fury can do this fight but then he 100% has to fight Usyk by March or hes stripped.

WBC cannot force Fury to fight Usyk as Usyk is not with the WBC. Nor can they decide the purse splits if Fury is negotiating with Usyk. So, both would have to want it and agree to the terms themselves. Sanctioning bodies have no role accept to allow it to happen (over their respective mandatories).

But this isn't the cage making Francis wrestling basically useless. Obviously Fury loses in MMA but this ain't MMA.

I can't hekp you with the maths, as I got it all wrong. I looked at December of last year and somehow thought it was December of the year before. My mistake.

Jermall Charlo should clearly be stripped.

I'll grant you, Fury not fighting in 10 months is nothing unusual these days and that in itself is no cause for being stripped. The circus fight with Ngannou creates a high liklihood that Fury won't defend his title for a long while yet -- and he's not even making any suggestion that he might do so. But, yeah, got all my months wrong!

I can't understand why anybody would watch that crap- Fury should be fighting a boxer, if not, he should be stripped of the title- boxing once again is nothing compared to how it used to be, what a joke!!!

And yet you have people justifying it, because apparently money/materialism is all that matters in life. These same people would presumably whore their young family on reality TV, as Luke does.
