Stop disrespecting Francis and stop making excuses for Fury. He did train for the fight for 12 good weeks according Fury himself.
    Not saying Fury didn't train well, only that he took the fight lightly and Joshua didnt.

    And no Ngannou didnt win anymore than Zhang did on the weekend just by knocking the other guy down, and i wouldn't trust anything the gypsy dosser says anymore than Fast Eddie Hearn.

    They lie!!!

    Fury/Ngannou wasnt a fight anyone was calling for and neither was Joshua/Ngannou or would have been made if not for the desert turki and his cashed up posse of murderous camel jockeys.​

      Fury isn't really a puncher. He's awkward, he's clever, he uses his weight on opponents. In hindsight that's all the stuff that Ngannou is also pretty good at. Those skills were very transferable from MMA.

      What he wasn't good at was boxing. And a boxer puncher didn't just beat him, he poleaxed him with every right hand he threw. And it was only a handful of right hands across about 5 minutes. That was all that was needed.

      Styles make fights. But no boxer should be that lacking in boxing fundamentals.

        You're right. The rematch is no longer needed. All I'm saying is that the dude deserve some respect for his boldness to step into the ring with the topmost guys in the HW division.

          I wanna see Francis vs the Paul bros in the cage at the same time; it is a circus event of the century.

            For a few mil even i'd step into the ring and get KTFO too.

            Respect for Ngannou leaving Cameroon as a refugee and getting to where he's set up for multiple lifetimes cash wise.

            For his boxing skill, yeah nah. Not even!

                I really do think Parker hits harder than Francis is used to being hit in mma. Wilder was scared of taking Parker punches.

                  If people dont think Parker hits hard enough why didn't Zhang walk him down and look to bully him like he did Joyce ? Or why didnt Wilder pull the trigger ?

                  Parker didnt win because Zhang and Wilder had off nights. He won because he was the better boxer, and by that i mean better mentally, physically and spiritually conditioned to perform at that level as a boxer. Not as a puncher or a MMA guy but a pure boxer.

                  If Zhang and Wilder coulda, they woulda, but didn't and couldn't. No shame in being beaten by the better man on the night. Parker also has Shifu Andy Lee in his corner.

                  Wilder got crawly bum licker Malik Scott and i have no idea who Zhang has but he needs to do a better job of conditioning his charge before running it back with the mighty Oilskin Parker.
