Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: 'A Boxer Did What He Should Do to an MMA Fighter'

[diarraisagod]

If/when the IBF strips the Usyk/Fury winner, Hrgovic (#1) and Joshua (#3) are likely to fight for the vacant title. I think Bakole (WBA #1) should go after Dubois, Sanchez or Kabayel and fight them on the next Riyadh card.

Yeah. I think it's great what's happening in Saudi Arabia. Any of these guys sitting just below world class can put themselves in the shop window for a big fight by taking on a fellow contender. The risk-reward balance is making fights happen. And the great thing is, a loss doesn't have to be a catastrophe either. There's opportunities to bounce back quickly.

Hrgovic for the IBF seems to be AJs most likely next opponent. But somebody like Dubois is probably in contention if that doesn't happen after his win against Big Baby and the thawing rivalry between Warren and Hearn. I'm rooting for Parker to get a title shot/big fight too, the bloke deserves it. AJ-Parker 2 would be really good.

Ppl discount how close the Usyk vs AJ fights were & what that'll mean vs the guy who made Wlad look confused to end his impressive ruin. Granted its been awhile since that took place, but Usyk is no Wlad either.

Fury's biggest problem has been & still is himself. If Fury loses to Usyk it'll be more about Fury not performing than Usyk winning imho.

I've never seen Fury as "chinny" so much as unfocused. Hes really only been hurt when dropped vs Wilder & usually when Wilder connected when he was at his best ppl weren't hurt they were sleeping. So I trust Fury's chin. I don't trust his focus.

Lmfao it'll be 12-0 Usyk.

see your already lining up excuses for when usyk beats fury lol……..look usyk is a class act , skilful beyond words , endless stamina , fluid in footwork and hand speed and mentally very strong so yes he is not like klitchcko in any shape or form and represents a whole different world of problems for fury…….and usyk will not be caught flat-footed or robotic unable to pull the trigger like klitchcko….on fact fury will now have to face the constant angles and movement of usyk ….you endlessly talk out your ass pandas.

Yep...pump the brakes on the AJ hype train. Put him in with Hrgovic and see how he goes...

...or maybe he wants to keep letting Parker do the heavy lifting of the division in clearing out the contenders while he exhibits his boxing skills against pretenders ?

It'd be nice to see Joshua up against a live dog, not a washed up can, a sparring partner or an MMA guy.

You can see the confidence in his training and trainer is back. Time to quit fücking around and truly put it to the test.

I don't think Fast Eddie will risk it. There's still a fragility around AJ that Hearn's bluster can't hide.

2 rounds against MMA guy ending in a knockout maybe isn't enough training to then step up and fight Hrgovic.

Crushing cans is great for banking rounds, and knocking out novices is good for the ego but nothing beats stepping up your levels from fight to fight.

Parker has gone from Wilder to Zhang. AJ from Wallin to Ngannou. In a rematch I'd go with Parker to outbox AJ just like Usyk did.

AJ just got his ego massaged. Parker is better trained and better tested!

here’s polliwog who picked Ngannou to beat joshua…..go away Polly you have zero credibility in this forum

12-0? Nah
Fury is hard to outbox, dude ain't Dubois.

You quoting the wrong guy bro lol. The guy I was quoting said he'd be surprised if Fury won a round.

I'm not into excuses like a lot of fans, but there are always things in play fans are just weirdos about that type of sh^t to one extreme or the other (too many reasons someone lost or pretending their can never be a reason ppl lost besides being 2nd best).

The reality is Fury is his own worst enemy. And I'll be surprised if he loses & its not mostly due to him fooking up more than what Usyk did. Not unlike how Zhang lost Saturday, Zhang lost that fight more than Joe won it if we are being honest. But both guys came into the fight knowing what was up so who gives a fook if Zhang sh^t the bed. Joe won so Joe gets the rewards of that W. Like Fury will or Usyk will regardless of "reasons".

And lets be real if Fury wins ppl will act like Usyk is 72 years old also so the excuses ppl will win the day whoever wins the fight.

I'm not invested in all that sh^t tho I'm just stating how I see sh^t & Tyson's biggest rival so far as been the mfer he sees in the mirror.

[kiaba360]

This.

And Fury has always been one of these up & down, fight to the level of his opposition guys. He'll do great sh^t vs the bigger threats in his eyes & he'll phone it in vs the lesser threats in his eyes lol. Its weird to me & I've never fully understood why some guys operate like that but there are plenty of ppl who do. And Fury is one of them for better or worse.

And AJ definitely isn't that type of guy. Thats why it was so weird when he was apprehensive vs Franklin a few fights ago.

Two losses to Usyk, post-fight meltdown leading to constant media/fan speculation of his mental fortitude and how much time he has left, hiring a new trainer, 8 months out of the ring, regression in terms of money/venue/quality of opponent...I don't think it's weird that AJ didn't perform at his best even-though physically he seemed fine. All he needed was a dark room and Ben Davison lol

[pollywog]

here’s polliwog who picked Ngannou to beat joshua…..go away Polly you have zero credibility in this forum

Lol...Take your forum credibility and shove it up your arse. It ain't worth shït in the real world.

My points still stand.

Its time to put AJ in with a real boxer who is risking their standing in the ranks and see how he performs.

We all know he can crush cans, overpower sparring partners and knock out MMA guys.

But can he step up and beat Hrgovic ? Will he take on that challenge ?

He dont want none of Parker's smoke that's for sure. 2024 Parker is prime Parker. The 2018 version AJ beat wasnt.

Is 2024 Joshua, Prime Joshua ? Or was it the 2018 undefeated version ?

We won't know until AJ faces a legit contender. Wallin wasn't and neither was Ngannou.

Care to respond to that Plunger Man ?

or would that risk your hard earned forum credibility such that the nameless faces that abound here would think less of you and destroy your fragile self esteem ?

Congratulations to A.Joshua for staying the course, overcoming a bit of a rough patch in terms of rebuilding his form, confidence and killer instincts. Out of the top heavyweights he's the only one who has stayed active, committed to improving and is willing to fight the best competition available. This is confirmed by the fact that He has the best resume out of all of them and has shown admirable maturity in the process of rebuilding himself.
The internet allows people to bring a LOT of irrational and frankly bizarre HATE from somewhere deep in their psyche. I find it ignorant, ****** and quite BORING. The fact that you had at least 45 to 50 percent of so called " FANS" Pulling for Ngannou and predicting him, an MMA fighter to beat Joshua just underscores that Hate mentality that seems so popular and prevalent these days. Meanwhile Fury who sits on his arse, in truth gets beaten by the MMA Fighter, tries his best to stall a bout with Usyek, until he has no choice, receives praise for being this LEGEND comparable to Muhammad Ali. The hypocrisy doesn't go unnoticed. But then Hate and ******ity tend to do weird things like that I suppose. At any rate its good to see that we are FINALLY getting a unification boat after so many years of road blocks and Joshua is back in proper form and has regained his balance as a fighter who can be a legitimate threat to every one out there I would not be surprised if he actually ends up recapturing all the belts. The heavyweight division is unpredictable and that's what makes it so compelling.

well he has already beaten parker quite convincingly and I’m quite happy to lay it on the line with you as well as Hrgovic…..he will brutalise him as well and if he remains active and I’m sure he will then face off with him….if fury once again pulls out of his fight usyk he will get stripped and then that fight gets made…..on this page where everybody can see who says what….we both make a wager and who ever loses must disappear from this site for good….hows that sound polly put the kettle on you up for the acid test gumbo ?
