    Curious what people will say if Ngannou pulls off the upset... Will he get any credit?

      No...because like Usyk, you have to beat A-Side Joshy twice to get any credit.

      Where as he only has to beat you once and then it's a given that he would always beat you, like Parker 6 years ago.

      Imagine if Djokovic in tennis declined to play matches in tournaments against guys he's beaten previously.

      He'd be like..."but i beat him 6 years ago or last week or whatever why should i have to do it again"

      Uhhh...because no man steps in the same river twice.

      That is..."You're not the same man you were 6years ago and the river has possibly changed course with different body of water flowing past now."

      Just because you did something in the past doesn't mean you can do it again.

        2 pages of comments and it feels like you all missed the actual significant bit of Frank's commentary; instead going for tit for tat squabbling about Joshua, Fury, Ngannou.

        The Saudis have made their move. The belt isn't just commemorative - it's a new championship belt and they pick who fights for it... along the lines of the UFC.

        They're trying to make Undisputed fights in other divisions too right? They're challenging the orgs.

          That's how guys like Floyd took advantage of the casual fan. I'm fighting a big name! In reality 6 years too late but alas didn't matter.

            Havent missed a thing considering the idea was floated here a few weeks ago so Frank ain't sayin nothing we haven't said already.

            Basically do what they did to Golf with LIV and force other boxers to give up on the present Alphabet Orgs and become exclusively Saudi promoted fighter's fighting for exclusively Saudi money, organizations and belts .

              Funnily enough, when one of the key figures in boxing clarified what has actually happened... it carried a bit more weight than an internet user wondering if something might one day happen.

                Nah...it really doesn't. It's whoever said it first.

                They've obviously read my shít on here and made it happen.

                You're welcome Frank and Turki. Where do i send the invoice?

                But the point still stands. We didn't miss a thing Frank said.
