Hearn talks absolute bollocks , he may as well say as it is , Joshua is in the same boat .He's fighting Wallin who is famous for giving Tyson a huge gash on his eye , which from the second round Tyson had to protect .and people are giving Wallin a chance in what many call a tough fight .He only just got through journeyman Franklin on points. Ngannou knows where his bread is buttered , he may well be in a position to fight Fury who at such time might have beaten all comers. Why would he be afraid of brittle chinned Joshua who has already been KO'd and is struggling to find any good form?

There's so much money that Ngannou can make in a rematch. So you know Hearns is most definitely (allegedly) lying!

Ngannou and his team are not in it to be a pro boxer, but just to fight Fury and only Fury. They know this guy would get sparked out by AJ/Wilder/Zhang and Hrgovic.

Certain hardcore Fury fans in the aftermath of the Ngannou vs Fury fight, claimed that Ngannou would beat most of the other top Heavyweights 'The weeks have gone by, and that talk has now piped down'.

Since that fight we have witnessed pretty much, the entire Heavyweight division step forward and pursue a fight with Ngannou 'Many top fighters have let it be known, they were all interested in fighting Ngannou'.

Joshua, Wilder, Zhang. Even semi-retired fighters such as Chisora, and domestic level UK fighters.

It is clear that Ngannou, understands the potential brutality of the Heavyweight Division 'And he does not want to fight any of those other top Heavyweights, even though they are great opportunities'.

For the hardcore Fury fans that are claiming, that Fury is going to rematch Ngannou 'I would not be so sure about that. I personally don't think Fury likes rematches, against fighters who have pushed him or are a genuine threat to him'.

Fury in some ways as 'The Riddler' was like a great stage performer 'Performing grandiose tricks'. But the key for Fury was to show the trick, then move on real quick 'I honestly believe this was why he was reluctant to make the rematch with Deontay Wilder straight away, Wilder had to move mountains in order for those rematches to happen'.

Note: I don't quite understand why people are talking as if the Ngannou vs Fury rematch is in the works 'Fury has to fight Usyk potentially twice'.

No disrespect to Ngannou, but people need to just call this how they see it 'Ngannou does not want to play around in the Heavyweight Division'. Contrary to all the stereotypes people have of mixed martial arts fighters, I have said this before, and I am going to say it again? In boxing you cannot tap out, you cannot go to ground and get away from Heavy bombardment. You ether fight, or you don't fight'.

Ngannou got to experience that against, a fighter in Fury who is not a monster puncher 'And for all of his great skills, Fury does not have a destructive offense'.

Ngannou is the most wanted Heavyweight fighter in the game, people need not to kid themselves 'I don't think the other top Heavyweights in boxing are afraid of him' I know Fury's hardcore fans are going to try and run that narrative, but that is not the situation here.

Ngannou is in a predicament, he ether fighters another top level fighter in his next fight 'Or drops down a few levels, and which will then create the risk of under performing and like always in boxing? The Lemmings will suddenly start to switch up real quick on Ngannou'.

I personally do not think Ngannou should be sitting around, waiting on Tyson Fury 'No Heavyweight in the Division should be doing that'.

Ngannou performed very well vs Fury, he has reserved masses of credit and I think he should capitalize upon that 'But I agree the match making in the boxing, the jeopardy I think is more serve that is why? Ngannou has not made any moves since fighting Fury' etc.
