    Looking forward to this one, but I fancy Joshua to wreck Francis. He’ll be highly motivated as a dominant win gives him an opportunity to outdo Fury, and potentially setup a fight with him.

    A cautious round or two before he lands a counter and finishes him.

    Reckon Ngannou could make the fight entertaining.

    Joshua will box clever he knows the power Francis has and saw how he put Fury on his *. I think Joshua will win on the scorecards but I'd love to see NGannou put him to sleep.

    Maybe. Everyone puts Fury on his * tbf :giggle1:

    I can see that outcome, but Joshua is an underrated counter puncher and elite finisher - the best at heavyweight. I think Francis will set out his stall similar to Fury but struggle to adapt to a very different fighter.

    For anyone interested, worth being aware that this fight is taking place on the Friday rather than Saturday.

    The best finisher at heavyweight :56:

    Deontay Wilder is still active.

    I posted this awhile back but it's a good look at how serious Francis takes it and how hard Tyson pushed him, plus Tyson comes over as very knowledgeable.

    Edit
    Just watched it full again, great watch!

    The same bloke whose best ever win is….who exactly?

    The obsessive level of hype Fury fanboys attribute to Wilder is genuinely laughable :giggle1: guy practically got folded in his last fight and has had one stoppage win in the last 3 years, while having literally one punch capable of finishing an opponent.

    Literally no one mentioned Fury, your obsession is utterly mental.

    Just like nobody mentioned Wilder previously.

    New names get brought into comparative discussions. Clearly this comes as a surprise to you :giggle1:

    You are talking about the best finisher in the division and someone mentions the biggest puncher, arguably that ever lived. Amazing that innit :56::56::56:

    You didn’t bring up Fury as a comparison, I brought up Wilder as one. You are obsessed.

    Paul M brings up someone not mentioned - totally rational.

    Someone else brings up someone not mentioned - “yoU R oBsesSed :55:

    Truly weird as * :56:

    Highlighting the fact that Fury fanboys overate Deontay Wilder to a ridiculous extent.

    It really isn’t rocket science :giggle1:

    Great contribution, as always though.

    The irony in a literal AJ fan boy trying to label a standard boxing fan a ‘Fury fan boy’ for thinking he’s better than the over rated bodybuilder that was leathered off a fat Mexican and a bloated cruiserweight twice that Daniel Dubious beat but for blatant cheating :56:

    Daft Paul having a meltdown all because someone mentioned Fury in a thread about boxing. What strange wee guy he is.

    It’s bizarre.

    Guys on here having a meltdown in a boxing thread over someone mentioning…a boxer :giggle1::giggle1:

    Fury fanboy who has me down as a Joshua fan when I legitimately want to see him lose more often than not :giggle1:

    No idea why he insists on making a * of himself constantly. I would put it down to a bad day at work or something, but it’s constant.
