Comments Thread For: Hearn on Fury-Ngannou: 'Those Kinds of Fights ... If It Goes Wrong ... It Kills Your Legacy Forever'

[hugh grant]

Only way fury can do that is by beating Usyk, Josh, Zhang. If fury beats just francis thats no good, as Usyk would beat Francis, as would josh and Zhang, Flip and Joyce

Eddie's going on about legacy after destroying Ajs!
Aj could have been a legend, imagine if he boxed Wilder in 18 & the rematchroom fight to follow, win or loose he could have boxed Fury but hasn't done that either, by now he could be having his own great trilogy with a top 2 that would be remembered.
Instead he boxed shot old 38-41 yr olds & cans milking casuals alway's avoiding the top 2. Eddie's just jealous

Besides Ali fought a wrestler who layed on the floor & apparently destroyed Alis legs. At least Ngannou was a boxing match. It will be remembered as the event it was.

I still stand my statement from years ago, if Tyson fury was 6’ 2” or around Andy ruiz size he would be a very mediocre boxer. Only difference between fury and Ruiz is height and footwork. Hell I think Andy might punch harder personally.

I agree with Hearn on this one Fury ****ed his legacy up big time.

It wasnt a Hail Mary punch situation though. It was a guy who has for years been proclaimed as the obvious no1 of the division, and by some people as some kind of unstoppable head to head ATG, fighting a 37 year old who was 0-0 in boxing, getting dropped, losing multiple rounds, getting busted up and being unable to get a finish or even hurt the guy. It was a terrible look and likely wont be forgotten about easily unless Fury gets absolutely murdered in every fight he has from now on.

I understand what your saying and I agree with most of it. Fury is really good and the great HW of this era, but nowhere near ATG. The fact that a guy like Fury, who is not always in the best of shape, but actually has solid skills for a HW, is arguably the best on the planet says alot about how bad the HWs have been for the last decade and a half or so. But credit to Ngannou. He actually looked more skilled than any HW not named Fury, Usyk or Joshua. Sad to say, but Fury might need to give that man a rematch and dominate to redeem himself and the sport(to a lesser extent).

Fast Eddie is having a field day trolling Fury on almost a daily basis. He’s having a dig, big time.

I am sure Fury and Ngannou fought only for money, Tyson earn more than 45 milions, Francis almost 10 milions, especially MMA champion got what he wanted. That's my opinion, then Ngannou had Mike Tyson as trainer and he did a very great match. I believe Francis won the match, but judges could not give the victory to him, it would be a shame for boxing world. MMA star who never done boxe before, beat the world champion, no way, and Tyson Fury knows very well the story.

Fury must be getting quite a laugh living rent free in Eddie’s head. Maybe he should focus more on the AJ legacy which imploded long ago. Better yet, why not try looking at his Matchroom legacy where a chimpanzee could do better promoting and avoid losing about 1B of his paymaster’s money. What a knucklehead.

Getting ****d by the Michelin man also can have a negative effect on one’s career.

Hearn is the definition of someone who exemplifies misery loves company. He’s clearly thrilled that Fury has embarrassed himself with the pathetic display because his favorite human in Aj has become a joke in the sport with is quit job vs Ruiz, performances vs Usyk and that weirdo post fight rant. Despite the damage fury has done to his reputation with this last fight, he’s still significantly more credible than Aj.
