I doubt anyone could have predicted the kind of treatment Francis received from Joshua (after the Fury fight)

I haven't been this shocked by a fight since Bob vs DDP
 
Not shocked in the slightest. Anthony is a Olympic caliber boxer and Francis was some kind of homeless miner with raw power and great potential to pick up all aspects of the fight game.
 
One of the best heavyweight boxers of this generation... a literal Olympic Gold Medalist and multiple pro world champion, fighting a MMA fighter with a single boxing fight of experience, in his entire life.

The fact that this got booked in of itself is fascinating (and good for Ngannou getting PAID) but it was completely absurd. This is like having the Dallas Cowboys play a high school team.

The 'shock' was that Ngannou didn't get put away by Fury, losing a decision. That was shocking. Losing to Joshua, or anyone even near that caliber, is exactly the expected outcome.

And that explains why he got the fight. And it also exposes how Fury relies on his size. and how bad the division is

Fury is at the end of his career and didn't appear to take Ngannou seriously at all. Despite this, he out boxed him with zero fuss after getting surprised. Even still it was a great shock that Fury couldn't put him away, and was in danger.

Ngannou won that fight. Fury didn't outbox him at all. That was a bullshit corrupt decision.
