I like the fact it's getting done so quickly.

Francis has raised my interest levels in his performance beyond kind of sideshow level. Credit to him.

And there's more interesting fights for Joshua to make mid year if he gets this done as quickly as most are tipping.

For Francis I guess he's got his big paydays in boxing now and if he gets starched, he goes back to Pride and builds that up a bit. Or if he is remarkable in boxing again, who knows.

The same was once said about Lennox Lewis.

Lennox did have a weak chin. He just never got into brawls. He would pot shot people from the outside using his superior reach and grab and lean on them when they came in. It’s the Cronk style.

AJ gets hit way more than Lennox ever did. He used to brawl on the inside. Probably why his chin isn’t so great. He fights much more conservatively now, though. He was actually very cautious vs Wallin to start. He was pot shotting him from the outside and only opened up when he hurt him.

People keep pining for the ‘old AJ’ to come back but that style will get him knocked out.

I think Lewis' chin was weak but not as bad as some seem to believe. He got knocked out a couple times in his career but he also took his share of big shots and ate them fine in his other fights. People just have a tendency to only look at the worst of things. Yeah, AJ was cautious against Wallin at the start. That's how he fights nowadays. Once he realized he had nothing for him though then you could see his confidence grow in there. He's more selective and patient now than the old AJ. He picks his spots better.

Zhang vs Dubois would make a lot of sense for thisI made an actual post and you replied with nothing but insults. I guess you consider that being smart lol.

Yes your post was “Francis sits on his ass and waits for checks, if he was confident he would fight people..”

You must have shit for brains and you would be a poor fighter/manager.

Francis is 37 years old. He just secured fury and now Joshua. 2/3 of the biggest names in heavyweight boxing. He secured the biggest bag for himself and you criticize? He’s not here to fight regular no names.. he’s going for the top

This fight has zero effect on the other . Fury vs Usyk isn’t until next month ,fighting a month after the undisputed doesn’t change anything for Joshua’s plans bc regardless he won’t be fighting until June the earliest after Ngannou .

Well if he loses to Francis he can probably kiss his third shot good bye with Usyk.

He’s not gonna fight usyk again. No one wants to see that a 3rd time, we all know how it ends. Usyk won’t be around for long either imo. I think he may retire once he beats fury, what else is there to achieve? He’ll grab the undisputed and that may be it.

I think this is a keep busy cash grab for Joshua whilst he waits for a title eliminator. If fury beats usyk he’s not gonna fight Joshua either but he also isn’t gonna keep all of the belts so they’ll be opportunities to get back in title contention

Ngannou does nothing but sit on his ass and wait for paychecks. If he was actually confident in himself he would get out there and fight people. Good for him to do well against an out of shape Fury but he still only has 1 boxing match while Hrgovic and Zhang have actually gone out there and put work in building up resumes for themselves. And Zhang knocking out Joyce is far more impressive than anything Ngannou has done. I think that takes away the "but Ngannou is dangerous!" argument.

I'd rather see Joshua fight someone logical who has earned it and actually has a career in the sport.

Hard to pick which one is the worst take out of these 3.

I guess people rather AJ sit and wait for the Usyk Fury saga to be over. No exciting or interesting fights are better than actual fights......lmao

"Yeah who wants to see an explosive fight between 2 star giant statuesque HWs with ridiculous knockout power.
Forget quick turnaround times. I love it when fighters go a year or 2 with no activity. I prefer rumored fights and speculating about them online. Not real fights."

Francis is fighting the 2 best true HW boxers in the world in his 1st 2 pro fights..In his first year as a dedicated pro.
Yet some clown is saying "he's not taking any real challenges...."
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaja
You cant make this stuff up.
Boxing fans are the worst.

I'm still tripping....It has to be a troll.
"Francis does nothing"
Then faulting him for being on his way to be a top paid athlete. Hahaha

He must be one of those bitter "Francis fumbled the UFC bag" people that has sour grapes. Francis is fighting the absolute top level people back to back & finally getting paid handsomely to do it. Way more money than he could of got for fighting Bones Jones once, twice, or 3 times....Which is THE ONLY star name or mega fight the UFC can offer him.

Plus he seems to have a better chance of beating Fury & Joshua at boxing vs Jones at MMA.

Its normal to want logical fights. You know, people actually earning shit. This isn't logical, it's a shitty cash grab. Go fuck yourself if you're just going to be as dick.

I didn't say anything close to your made up quotes. Joshua has a couple logical choices that I would rather see over an 0-1 MMA fighter. Is that so hard to understand?

not really son, he could be fighting Hrgovic or Zang, who are actual proper boxers, as a Wilder fan though, you wouldnt know much about that would you

I’m pretty sure if he loses to Ngannou,Usyk is the least of his problems bc he then has a huge dent on his resume ,not so much Fury bc he’s not held to high standards had he lost and won the rematch its not a big deal however Joshua is held to higher standards if he struggled first with Ngannou the same way how many troll messages do you think Fury have made ?

The fact is however Fury DID have a controversial fight with Ngannou and a Joshua one way performance totally delivers two wins ,one with Ngannou and the other to Furys ego that’s why he went on social media yesterday mocking that fight yet he took it as the WBC champion ?

He himself hurt his image but calls it a easy fight for Joshua and he’s ducking Wilder who just lost according to him ? The hard truth is Fury was planning on the Ngannou rematch he’s admitted that several times and when Joshua wins it’s another option Fury doesn’t have should the Joshua fight come up . <45>

Yes it is very hard to understand & yes you did discredit Francis making one of the smartest financial moves in MMA history. All while fighting the absolute best boxers. Fans should be thankful for that. Its not like he stalled and took money to fight lower level comp.

He's not just a "0-1 MMA fighter." He arguably gave the absolute best HW of this current era fits. Hurt him badly multiple times. Arguably even won more rounds against him than any of his other opponents. That makes him a viable HW champion contender....not just a MMA fighter with a 0-1 boxing record....please
