Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders: "If Tyson Was a Fraction Of Himself, Ngannou Wouldn't Land a Glove On Him"

It's a bad look to make excuses for a British fighter because you are British. Should be no excuses for the terrible showing by the supposed "best heavyweight in the world."

While Fury was a fraction of himself, Saunders is a fractured of himself, ever since Canelo fractured his skull.
Saunders needed a multitude of surgical screws to repair the extended fracture lines, and years to heal physically, as well as psychologically.
Now that he fells that he's done both, he's back to talking ****, and returning to the ring to try to put the fractured pieces of his career together.
Chance are that his career is over, it's probably as fractured as his face was by Canelo, and there's no way of knowing that his face will hold up in a contested fight.

Saunders is a fractured of himself ......LOL

No, the Kronk Fury is quite hittable even when in shape (which he obviously was not on this occasion).

Plonk Fury.

Fury got dropped by Steve Cunningham 10 years ago….at his best he was a slightly above average fighter and that’s because he was so much bigger than the fighters in his era which lack the talent

Not to mention KOed him by holding and hitting.

Exactly that. Many people emphasize how technical and elusive Fury is, but fail to recognize that Fury's style and also body changed a lot over time.

Basically there is the pre-Kronk version that was technical and awkward, but not really a KO artist. That version beat Klitschko and Wilder (first fight), very difficult to hit and effectively using his size and reach, but not really a puncher.

And then there is Kronk Fury, heavier and with more power, but because of that (and age), slower and hittable.

That is also Usyk's chance, though he has slowed down himself a bit.

Fury just had the wrong gameplan, tried to take it to Ngannou and it didn’t work, he should’ve just boxed and looked for openings

I completely agree.

I'm getting sick of this whole... "he fights to the level of his opponents!" - It gives excuses and makes it seem 'ok' for a fat slob like Fury to not look so great once in a while.

He should have embarrassed someone who's never had a boxing match EVER.

I was never biggest Mayweather fan but I rooted for him against McGregor. Supposedly Mayweather didn't train for that fight... but what Mayweather has going for him is that he was ALWAYS fit and in the gym. Never drinking, smoking, or doing drugs.

Fury on the other hand............

What a poorly researched and written article.

[SN!PER]

Okay now that's just disrespectful of Ngannou... you can't use these excuses again if he knocks out AJ.

At least if fury.loses to usyk, bjs can say If Fury was fraction of himself usy k wouldn't lay a glove on him
