Re: Boxing
A part of me still thinks that Fury was fannying about on purpose for his fight against Ngannou, and that no matter what he was always going to win by decision, to help build hype for the fight last night and to buy into the hype surrounding a potential Fury - Joshua fight again because that lost pretty much all momentum when Joshua got beat by Ruiz and then fell off a cliff when Joshua got beat by Usyk twice
I hope Fury beats Usyk because nobody wants Usyk - Joshua 3

Re: Boxing
Just seen the highlights
1st knockdown didn't seem like much of a shot
Ngannou just kept dropping his left hand and wandered forward
Not great tactics

Re: Boxing
Ngannou briefly switched southpaw. Joshua was prepared and clocked him with a straight right.
Joshua is quite comfortable with southpaws (Usyk aside).

Re: Boxing
He might have come into it with a lack of focus by his standards but there’s no way he fucked around on purpose, he even got dropped, it was a really bad performance and now looks even more concerning after the way Joshua dealt with Ngannou last night. It could be as simple as Fury has lost his spark now and maybe Usyk just outboxes himJimmi wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 8:28 am A part of me still thinks that Fury was fannying about on purpose for his fight against Ngannou, and that no matter what he was always going to win by decision, to help build hype for the fight last night and to buy into the hype surrounding a potential Fury - Joshua fight again because that lost pretty much all momentum when Joshua got beat by Ruiz and then fell off a cliff when Joshua got beat by Usyk twice

Re: Boxing
Some historians/researchers think it's Greb.
Duran at his peak is the most skilled (best) I've seen footage of.
Robinson is a contender in both categories though. I should probably make the effort to watch more footage of his.

And before HJ chimes in.
No, Tyson Fury isn't a serious contender for best or greatest of all-time. He's not even close to either in his weightclass.

But you appear reluctant to admit that his record/achievements and probably his skill are both lacking compared to certain past heavyweight.

Re: Boxing
I think his skill set for a big man is excellent. If he beats Usyk and AJ he would be high up on any all time great list whether you agree or not.sennafan24 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 4:59 pmYou haven't directly.HalloweenJack wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 4:28 pmWhere have I stated he is ?sennafan24 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 3:20 pmFury isn't close to Ali, Louis or Lennox in terms of greatness.HalloweenJack wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 3:13 pmHe thinks he is and self confidence is very importantsennafan24 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 3:08 pm And before HJ chimes in.

Re: Boxing
1. I haven't claimed otherwise. There are multiple past heavyweights I'd pick to beat him head 2 head though (Ali, Lewis, etc).HalloweenJack wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 5:46 pm I think his skill set for a big man is excellent.

2. If he beat Usyk he would probably be top 10, but still nowhere near the top 3.
