I am a Tyson Fury fan, but, Francis won that, so naturally, I am excited about Francis return to Boxing...mainly cause he just beat a Champ in the first fight that the judges did not want to give.. the sport of boxing is corrupt...but why would Francis who made 10 million off losing a fight which he won, want to go back to MMA and fight jones for say much much less?Let's say:
- Fury defeats Usyk in December/Early 2024
- Jones returns and defeats Stipe/Aspinall/Pavlovich in Late 2024
and Francis defeats both. Would he be the greatest fighter to ever walk Earth?
No, because boxing has nothing to do with fighting. They are not fighters, they are boxers. Comentators freaked out when he threw the superman punch at the end because that's illegal. Fucking everything is illegal there. He can't punch while grabbing. He had to use those ridiculously giant gloves made to prolongue fights. He couldn't jump on Fury and finish the thing when he dropped him, he had to wait for a count.
Look, boxing is big, it's more popular than MMA. But being good at that doesn't make you a better fighter, it just makes you a boxer. Boxing is simply a punching contest with a very specific set of rules (you can't jump or punch with both hands if you ever wanted it). MMA is actual fighting with a bunch rules that were only added to protect the fighters. There are no bullshit rules, the thing was created to mimic an actual fight.
So, the greatest fighter is one of the GOATs of MMA, pick whichever you like because it's kind of a subjective thing apparentely. If Francis wants that title he should have stayed and defended his belt, but I reckon he doesn't care and that's ok.
He did defend the belt though. He fought every opponent possible until his contract was up. Then he took a new deal to make more money. Dana’s bitch didn’t do shit for 3 years until Francis left. Francis shit all over both of them. Took a huge shit all over Tyson Fury, Dana, Jon Jones the whole lot. You think Jon Jones could whip his ass well he can’t even fight Stipe. Francis is far superior in every way. Maybe Daddy Dana will book Jon vs Francis now but he is too scared and Jon would never take it anyways.No, because boxing has nothing to do with fighting.
