Yeah, Fury is full of shit. Francis proved that he is a good boxer in his own right, but you can't honestly tell me that Fury wasn't out of shape. Look he has an extra 100 pounds in his ass alone.Fury insists that he was in a great shape and trained really hard and Ngannou was just that good.

Compare that to when he fought Wilder. He certainly didn't look like an Adonis, but there's clearly a 60 to 70 pound difference.
Do you think he looked like someone who put in work in camp?Fury insists that he was in a great shape and trained really hard and Ngannou was just that good.
I don't understand his motive for lying.Do you think he looked like someone who put in work in camp?
What’s he going to say, “I apologize to all the people who paid $80 and wasted 6 hours of their time, but I couldn’t be bothered to train for this one. But just tune in next time, I’ll be in shaoe for that one.” It’s best just to give Ngannou props and say he was the best fighter he’s faced in a decade.I don't understand his motive for lying.
He got his ass kicked. He should be the first to say that he didn't train seriously, truth or not, in order to save face.
Well, the people who paid 80 euros came for the spectacle. They didn't come to watch a unification match. Normally the difference in their level should've been so significant that Fury should have won after a 20 hour bender.What’s he going to say, “I apologize to all the people who paid $80 and wasted 6 hours of their time, but I couldn’t be bothered to train for this one.

You don't really believe that Fury took this fight as seriously as he should have. Shit, Fury has a proven track record of slacking off, and under performing in 80 percent of his fights that weren't against what he considered elite competition.Lots of pathetic and laughable excuses on here. The reality is fury had a full camp and chose a fuckin boxing novice over the undisputed fight. He embarrassed himself and to a lesser extent the sport itself. He’s a good fighter but not the great that his former fans claim. His resume is poor for such a higher rated champ and we all know he ducks fighters, he’s even recently been boasting about it
that’s how fans are going to remember him unless he proves he’s the fighter he claims to be. Beating usyks a start, if the fight ever happens and if he beats him
The man is a compulsive liar. That being said many contenders wouldn't have done half as well against Fury on that night, out of shape and under perpared or not.I don't understand his motive for lying.

There's a world of difference between Floyd Mayweather and Tyson Fury in terms of professionalism and ability. Floyd was still in excellent shape for starters. You could see it at the weigh in. He was still trim and muscular. Once inside the ring the rust was evident, it certainly wasn't vintage Mayweather, but he never appeared winded or tired. He took the spectacle seriously enough to show up in decent shape. Fury was not in shape at all. He looked more than ever like a giant milk bag, and appeared gassed throughout. I don't care how much talent you have, if you can't be bothered to get into condition, you're asking to be embarrassed even by a neophyte, especially one as determined as Ngannour.Well, the people who paid 80 euros came for the spectacle. They didn't come to watch a unification match. Normally the difference in their level should've been so significant that Fury should have won after a 20 hour bender.
We are talking about the active champion of the world.
Floyd was 40 something and retired when he fought Conor.
He didn't have a regular training camp either. None expected him too.
No it’s called not stealing someone’s shine. Kind of a code of honour like not grassing. He is deliberately not going anywhere near making excuses.I don't understand his motive for lying.

He wasn't acting and Fury rarely targets the body. He's mostly a head hunter. It was competitive because Francis was much better than everyone anticipated. The match was supposed to be a showcase fight for Fury. Even if he took Francis lightly, which it appears that he did despite claims of a 12 week camp, he has no excuse for looking the way he did. He got beat up by an MMA fighter making his boxing debut.Someone i know questioned the integrity of the fight, saying Fury was acting. I said no way. But i thought about it more and realized that Fury didn't even target the body, even though Francis was breathing heavily by round 5.
Fury is so good that he could easily make the fight look competitive and make Ngannou look better than he is. There are already talks of a rematch. Saudis love a good show. What's better than one fight? Two.
That means very little. His muscle to fat ratio was definitely better when he fought Wilder.You know they publish weigh in results, right?
There's no doubt that Fury was not in good condition for this fight. But LOL at trying to claim there was a 60-pound weight differential when he was literally the same weight as the 3rd Wilder fight and 5 pounds heavier than the 2nd fight.
