Hold on his last four fights have been Franklin, Helenius, Wallin and Ngannou. Franklin was on sky a few months back fighting in a school hall with 200 people watching, Helenius had fought 7 days prior to his fight with AJ, walling is not ranked in any top 10 and Ngannou has had one fight and AJ is apparently the new force ? Joseph Parker beat Wilder ( brilliant fight) and beat Zhang ( great fight) both times on the undercard of an AJ fight. Just remind me what belts AJ holds and what top ten boxer he has fought

[@jonmoore873]

You are right but I would say it’s probably true that of them all, AJ has looked the best recentky. That’s in no small part because usyk hasn’t fought. He is riding the fury express and it running late due to signaling issues. Fury did fight and looked awful. It’s EH job to talk it up but he’s no entirely wrong.

[@keebs26uk]

Fury had a bad day in the office and two his not a power puncher

[@stevegander920]

The hype around Ngannou was all down to Fury. With Tyson’s background, history and experience he should have wiped the floor with Ngannou, but he just struggled to cope with everything about him and was lucky to get the win. As poor as Fury’s performance was against Ngannou, Joshua’s was devastating which has made Tyson look ordinary at best. Tyson’s hyped himself up so much he believed his own bullshit which is his own doing. Self praise is no praise. We’ll see just how good Tyson really is in May and I hope for his sake it’s good enough because as it stands now he’s not looking great. Look at the hype around Wilder, a man whose resume is a joke, the worst in heavyweight boxing, his biggest scalp being Ortiz, 2 fights with a man in his forties who was easily beating him until getting knocked out. It’s taken a ton of money from the Saudi’s to finally get Fury to fight someone credible since regaining his title from Wilder.

[@richardyoung714]

I couldn't agree more. Wider's resume is average at best. How the WBC let him hold onto their belt for so long, basically fighting bums and no-names is ridiculous. The best fighters in the heavyweight division were undoubtedly the 70s and the 90s. They never ducked anyone.

[@onuchinathaniel9368]

The best analysis I have seen. Nothing to add and nothing to remove. "......Self-praise is no praise", says @stevegander920. Powerful statement. I hope Mr Warren, Fury, and some deluded fans will read that. You must give us those moments to remember in the ring. Legacy is just a word. Legacy is those unique moments one leaves behind in our minds; the marks a hero makes or leaves behind. This can't be achieved with the mouth, and talking carelessly, but by turning up to the bill

[@mister_yeah]

AJ did prepare that fight and picked apart Ngannou by learning from his fight with Tyson Fury. Ngannou did the same switch stance that caught an unprepared Fury. AJ and his team clearly prepared for it and planned to go straight down the middle of that switch guard. Not taking away from the win, but saying it's a win that was more easily achieved because of the Fury Ngannou fight

[@theconsistentnoddy9851]

I’d say any advantages achieved by being able to watch the fury fight are equalled by the lessons learned by Francis in that first fight. Francis without doubt will have turned up a better prepared fighter than the one who faced fury.

[@mister_yeah]

@@theconsistentnoddy9851 fair comment man. Good point

[@onuchinathaniel9368]

You are deceiving yourself. If you put Fury against the Ngannou who fought AJ, the outcomes will be the same or worse for Fury. Ngannou looked sharper against AJ and was more confident,so he came out to fight, and that was his undoing. Ngannou shouldn't be winning Fury inside a boxing ring under any circumstance. Fury did not win Ngannou. Boxing had to be saved. I feel shame and find it mind-boggling that Fury gets all this excuse. AJ is Fury's perfect antidote. AJ is British too and has righted all Fury's wrongs. He is more civil in speech and presents as a better model for the sports than Fury. Anyways, We are getting closer to the TRUTH, through Saudi money and influence. Except Fury retires after May 18, he is about to be shut down for good by AJ. That's exactly what the Saudi Princes want for their money. Thats coming. You better prepare for the heartbreak. They control the match ups with their money. They are so rich it is an entertainment for them. Ngannou got a chance as a result. Fury is one fight away from AJ. Write this date.

Fury wouldn’t be able to knock out Ngannou he doesn’t have that power let’s be right he hit him flush with a illegal elbow and he didn’t budge him

[@carlfoster9408]

trouble is Fury didn't do what he was supposed to do, the whole reason why AJ fought Francis N is Furys fault. Styles makes fights, I agree with but where Fury says AJ style is perfect for Fury I disagree with, I have always said it was Fury that is tailored made for AJ, yes Fury can be illusive, but he still get hits and he still gets dropped fairly regularly, I just think AJ will be big enough and strong enough not to get roughed up, leaned on by Fury, and he will connect and won't let him off the hook like Wilder did. Also as I have said over and over again Wilder has not proved that he was a world class boxer at any stage, and his last performance against Parker was proof in the pudding. Wilder has struggled with any and every half decent ranked fighter, so hard to base Fury liniage championship pedigree over those 3 fights, the only notable win for him was Klitschko about 10 years ago and potentially Whyte, which Whyte and Chisora the plodding pressure fighter, who I would say is tailored made for Fury. Usyk, I don't know, I have a feeling Fury will be able to do enough to disrupt USYKs flow and may get a decision win. But what AJs win again show is not helping Furys legacy at all and I think it debunks the accusations that AJ keeps avoiding the toughest fights out there, not saying Ngannou, should have been classed as a tough fight but that was the narrative and over half of the pundits and so call fans seemed to have AJ as the underdog. As AJ said in one Interview people vastly underrated him.

[@justinneill5003]

George was spot on as usual. AJ came into that fight with not only his own career and reputation, but also the reputation of heavyweight boxing, resting on his shoulders. Considering that, I was very impressed with his cool composure and clinical performance. I wasn’t convinced by the Wallin fight but now I believe he’s better than he ever was. Unfortunately we won’t get to see him fight Fury any time soon, because Fury is going to be beaten twice by Usyk so we are facing a re-run of Joshua vs Usyk after that, but somewhere down the line Joshua vs Fury will happen.

[@sullyx5142]

Joshua beat someone that shouldn't have even been in the ring with an elite boxer. Fury didn't prepare for it. This is no indication on where Joshua is at

[@MarkWeir-cr5tk]

Fury went into his fight totally unprepared and had a tough night because of it, AJ prepared professionally and like Parker has been very busy and you saw the results. I had thought AJ was finished but good on him and Ben Davison for getting him to where he is today. Outside of Usyk, the best heavyweight. If Fury wants to compete then he needs to take last part of his career seriously or retire

[@recodegamesstudio]

Joshua will not beat Usyk. Usyk is NOT Ngannou he will not stand there and get smached by Joshua who has ALWAYS been able to punch like that.

[@goodallj338]

not saying he’ll beat him but it’s obvious he went for the wrong game plan against usyk which was to try outbox him, since he’s switched to ben davidson it seems he’s got that aggressive style back if he actually uses his size and power instead of trying to move around and be the boxer who knows he may have a chance.

[@arthurarsekey6634]

@@goodallj338 I dont think he went for the wrong game plan as much as getting dragged into it by Usyk. In the 9th of the second fight he goes all out to put it on him but barely lands. I dont see a way for him to beat Usyk barring a lucky punch.

[@goodallj338]

@@arthurarsekey6634 he went all out in the 9th because he thought he had usyk hurt not because that was his game plan, he was trying to outbox the boxer which is never going to work against usyk hes a master at it. davison implied AJ was trying to reinvent himself and become a “boxer” his job was to get AJ to realise he needs to play to his advantages, power, size and strength not try be something he isn’t and it’s clear that’s what he’s done, since davison his approach against wallin and ngannou is night and day compared to how he fought usyk. of course they are a lower level of opposition than usyk but im talking purely about his game plan. If Dubois a much lesser boxer than AJ could give usyk problems i have no doubt AJ is capable of beating him if he plays his cards right but it’s not easy task regardless usyk is a phenomenal boxer.

[@HisExcellencyB]

@@goodallj338 since he's switched to Ben Davison, he's boxed his sparring partner and an 0-1 MMA guy 😂

[@goodallj338]

@@HisExcellencyB it’s about his fighting style not the level of opposition. He could be fighting muhammad ali but if he continued to use the same style as he did against usyk he isn’t getting anywhere, that’s my point.

[@Gnik4144]

It wasn’t a mismatch. AJ was just smart and knew if he actually boxed and didn’t brawl he’d win. Pretty much any boxer will outbid any UFC fighter or KZbinr.

[@thelegendarydeikay3071]

it's abit sad all the fights are happening now fight now when the best are not in their primes anymore, Fury feet have slowed down and getting injured alot, usyk dosen't move in and out asquick as he did couple years ago, AJ left to be known yet where he stands

[@jus2jase]

Simon Jordan kept saying it would not be a hard fight

[@otisdeayala7399]

Is Fury just crap? - Ngannou was out longer from the ring/octogon than Fury was - was recovering from knee surgery - is older than Fury - 1st pro boxing match against WBC champ There are no excuses for Fury

[@HuxleyWasRight]

Not crap, just overhyped! His wins over wilder don’t look very impressive after Parker dispatched him easily! So what does that leave ? One tentative win over klitchko 7-8 years ago!

[@samsung63]

Interesting to see the contrast between AJ & Tyson vs Francis! I suppose they had different tactics, perhaps if Francis wasn't hurt early they would of had a scrap.

[@ld7103]

Thank goodness for that!….fury almost single handedly destroyed boxing and AJ has redeemed it again. It’s what should have happened first time rd.

[@ryiin]

Good to see Rawling back

[@MilesCobbett]

Ben Davison is the difference

[@anthonypavey4855]

You're correct

[@jayfernando506]

NO1 SAID IT WAS MISMATCH AFTER NGANNOU FURY FIGHT .MAYBE FURY DONE A DIS SERVICE TO BOXING BY NOT TRAINING IMO

[@WeAreRobotsUK]

Now it’s a mismatch, before it was a problem for AJ…

[@tonylelli3057]

Keep it real people. AJ did the job but does it make any difference to the boxing landscape? NO!

[@otisthecanadianbulldog2400]

Mismatch? Now its a mismatch. For weeks I had to listen to couch boxers tell me Ngannou was the best boxer on this planet.🤷‍♂️ I called a 2nd round KO of Francis. And I won a coffee from my coworker for doing that.

[@devilfacedjedi]

I think there just needs to be a little bit more respect sent Ngannou’s way. As much as he got annihilated by AJ in this match. If the roles were reversed into MMA it wouldn’t last 30 seconds in Ngannou’s favour.

[@neil1982]

Eddie Hearn makes me laugh. Does beating a guy in their 2nd professional bout make up for 2 losses against Usyk? Does THAT make him the best heavyweight in the world? NO EDDIE.

[@one_and_only_1649]

Please look at AJ and fury’s cv aj speaks for itself levels above and everyone furys boxed and aj boxed aj got rid of them easy when fury struggles

[@Markfarrar60]

It was a fantastic performance compared to fury,credit to Aj hes not getting carried away, hrgovic or parker different problems entirely, as for fury v usyk if it was a joshua 2 fight deal ,hearn would demand the rematch,personally i think usyk will expose fury so badly,it wont be needed

[@marvinwright7656]

3 rounds? It was round 2!!! Smh

[@treyakasprings]

All of it irrelevant because on the 18th of may usyk stops fury ends the charade & his career. Usyk & AJ will then have a 3rd fight for the undisputed Joshua wins then walks off into the sunset job finally done. STAY HUMBLE STAY HUNGRY

[@bladerunner16]

How will Joshua win???

[@BrianCharles-t6f]

experts: this is a very dangerous fight for joshua, he could lose badly, ngannou is such a monster power house. also experts: joshua did what joshua should have done, he made ngannou look like a novice.... lol

[@MB-AFC]

What fight was he watching. 1st knockdown first round 2nd knockdown second round 3rd knockdown second round There was no 3rd round

[@leninsambhudat8553]

Eddie Hearn is delusional if he thinks that AJ beating a novice MMA fighter means he can suddenly beat Usyk, when he had 24 rounds already to do so before and lost. Usyk is miles ahead of Joshua in terms of skill and will always find a way to beat Joshua regardless of how he fights.

[@dapz7763]

miles ahead what did you score the second fight??

[@devilfacedjedi]

If Usyk beats fury and the Turkey Al shark decides the next fight is AJ V Fury (the rematch is dropped) then fury retires 100%

[@oneloveaki]

I said AJ stoppage b4 rnd 3. The Fury fight Fury didnt turn up didnt train people keep going of that. if fury trains properly it would of been a different story. Roll on Fury Usyk and we will see where we are.. People are forgetting Usyk whooped AJ not 1s but twice

[@Ukman-england]

Eddie begging fury to beat uyske 😅😅 because aj couldn't beat him twice then calls aj the best in the world honestly u couldn't write this😅😅

[@apollolang3399]

Joshua new he had nothing to be scared of, it’s when he gets scared or starts losing fights is when Joshua gives up, he’s fine when he’s on top, look how he rematches ruiz he ran the hole fight long and ruiz was about 40 stone and drunk in the rematch lol

[@brian-sm8tx]

Agree even though he went 10 rounds with Tyson defence was weak

[@JamesFoxx]

Ngannou would do well to win a British title… yeah yeah he did well against a lacklustre Fury etc but Joshua showed you exactly what happens when a proper fighter goes in with a complete novice!

[@arbitScaleModels]

iT WASNT A MISMATCH. GANNOU FOUGHT THE WRONG FIGHT. THATS HIS TEAMS FAULT FOR BELIEVING THE HYPE.

[@TraderInTheLab]

No on was saying it was a mis-match a few days ago. Now that AJ dismantled him, all of a sudden it’s a “mis-match” - talksprt are a joke!
