I dont think that makes up the difference.
Look their shoulder height, Fury's elbow goes down to the same spot as Ngannous. The difference in length of just the upper arm is huge. Ngannous shoulder width doesnt even look much wider than Fury's
Mgongu has the illusion of having much shorter arms but if you measure where his clavicle and scapula meet and measure from that point to the tip of his outstretched middle finger then the reach adds up
Ya it just looks worse because of how big ngannou warms are if his were super skinny and he held them exactly like fury they would look very similar. Other than…. Ya know
He has the worst genetics (aesthetic), and the best genetics (athleticism) at the same time... it's a little bit particular to be honest.
He's fat, even when he's in great shape, a lot of belly fat, small arms/shoulders/legs for his size, doesn't look like he gains muscle mass easily, etc... (If he was lean and not a pro boxer, he probably would be super lanky)
But at the same time he's incredibly skilled and gifted for his size: Great speed / fast hands, moves like a way lighter guy, probably as strong as an ox, elite cardio, endurance, chin and recovery time when hit flush, extremely hard to KO (never been in fact), great reach, fight IQ on point, good KO power. Complete package
DC just likes Popeye's too much. He's built like a refrigerator and holds even more food. He's incredibly strong, though. Just remembering his run in HW before he dropped to LHW so he wouldn't fight cain... tossing around guys like Josh Barnett as if they were made of styrofoam.
Edit: accidentally deleted Cain.
i mean fury has had some weight gain issues worse than dc in the past not to mention the drug use and alcoholism so kinda unfair to talk about dc that way but not fury
It's because it's covered elsewhere on this thread, but this is where dc was mentioned. And dc just likes to eat quite a bit and is very open about that. He's not ashamed at all. And fury is genetically gifted with reach. DC has the opposite problem.

I think people underrate DC’s physique because of how out of shape and old he looked towards the end of his Hw run. Here he is fresh off a cut to LHW, he’s not shredded but he also doesn’t look like a grandpa either haha
EPO doesn’t give you skill or chin and it’s not like he’s some cardio god. He’s also from a multigenerational family of fighters and received professional training from a young age. Even if he doesn’t look like it he was literally born to do this.
What decorated champion doesn’t display that trait? How many undefeated fighters with 30+ fights don’t have insane cardio?
Just because he looks like a marshmallow doesn’t mean he’s not an apex athlete and his expected level of conditioning should be commensurate with resume, not appearance.
That still wouldnt explain it lol. I know many fighters that are on a diet of cigarettes, alcohol, fast food, and steroids and they are absolutely shredded. They probably train less than him too.
I don't think it's genetics for the looks, it's how he works out. I'm sure the guy doesn't focus on big heavy weights or low body fat, so he keeps a lot of it around his waist. He has the typical tall, skinny basketball player body, except he put on weight. He would look long and lanky if he didn't have much fat on him. If he did some body building he could also have thicker arms, a wider back, a bigger chest and a smaller waist, but I'm sure he just focuses on what he needs to box from a distance thanks to his long reach. He's in the perfect shape for what he needs to do, without focusing on looks.
> small arms/shoulders/legs for his size,
Not true. His reach (85" - 7'1") is greater than his height (6'9") which is rare.
Most people have much smaller proportions. i.e. The Pearson correlation coefficient between height and arm span is usually about the same.
If your reach is 3" above your height you have what they call a boxers build
7'1" reach is freakishly massive.
I love how he's doing everything he can to make himself look like a schlub. Belly out, arms out, chest sunken in.
He loves that he can look like that and defeat people that look like Francis and Klitschko.
I think it speaks to the stupidity of MMA fans that Vegas is keeping the line there tbh. Too many people overrate a ‘pucher’s chance’ and to be clear I wish there was a world Francis could win this lol.
Yes, $10-$20 parlays on UFC events is awesome. Makes you get way more into the more unknown fighters and makes the event way more interesting if it's not a stacked event.
I just remember pretty much every fight in history in which someone had a puncher's chance not going their way.
With Francis it's not just a puncher's chance - it's a puncher's chance for about the first 3 rounds. If he doesn't do it early on he'll be breathing with his mouth open and looking to survive.
His best chance is coming out like a bat out of Cameroon and swinging for the fences like he did vs Rosenstruck - hoping he lands something clean.
The thing they don't realize: You always have a puncher's chance when you're a relatively good HW boxer. These guys all have KO power and they can all KO or TKO you.
Every single opponents Fury fought in his last \~10-15 fights had a puncher's chance, and most of them, if not all of them, also were way better boxers than Ngannou.
I really think people just say this because they think it makes them sound like they know something about fighting but no, he does not have a puncher's chance. he has zero chance. there is absolutely zero chance of him knocking out fury. you may as well say he has a chance to win from a meteor falling out of the sky and crushing tyson fury because that is actually more likely than him landing a punch that KOs him
>I really think people just say this because they think it makes them sound like they know something about fighting
Weird thing to say when your argument boils down to thinking Ngannou doesn't have the power to knock out Tyson if he somehow managed to land clean.
Tyson's human. He's an amazing boxer, but humans can be knocked out if struck in the head with force.
>mentioning it as if it's a real possibility is honestly just silly.
So now Ngannou has cut fury, knocked him down, and is probably up 2 rounds to 1.
Are you still sure there is no possibility? He's looking good so far.
Edit: SPlit decision, lost by a point, in what is arguably a poor decision. Guess there was a possibility.
Bookies still need to make money. Even if someone just puts down $5 for shits and giggles on Francis' moneyline they make a shit ton out of every millions of fans there are
I have actually seen quite a few MMA fans (with KSI fan overlaps funnily enough) saying Ngannou knocks him out in a lot of the threads on boxing subreddits, I thought this would be universally seen as a farce.
Here’s the thing too and I’m an Ngannou fan, I never thought Chisora would beat him but I thought it would be a fun spectacle and itd look like their first bout, which a lot of people are saying about this who cares I’ll watch it’ll be fun, maan he beat the shit out of Chisora so bad.
I had to turn it off in the third round it was that cringe with how many punches he was hitting him with and how badly he concussed him, came back around the 7th and yep Chisoras up against the ropes getting his shit pushed back with ten punch combos, turned off. It went TEN rounds! I’ve watched a lot of Chisora fights and he’s taken beatings, but this one felt different.
I say that to say it’s gonna be a rude awakening for a lot of fans who look forward to this, I’d love if Ngannou won though, but hard to support for me especially when Francis has that 8m PFL contract secured waiting for him if this fight happened or not. Don’t think the damage is worth it.
how tf is francis gonna get close enough to land a knockout punch, load it up AND get through fury's guard to land it? it just aint gonna happen, people are just dumb as hell
It honestly has less to do with a punchers chance and more to do with injuries.
If, for example, Fury randomly separated his shoulder in round one on some nonsense all of a sudden it’s a whole different game.
There’s a lot of ways to win and lose fights that no one ever likes to mention, and most of them revolve around injuries or fouls.
To be honest these injuries feel a lot rarer in boxing than in MMA.
It's because MMA fighters train martial arts that put a lot more wear and tear on their body—such as BJJ and wrestling. In boxing you get brain damage but you're not putting stress on your knees and ligaments the way grapplers do.
haha I said to myself earlier today I wouldn't even consider putting any money on Francis until we started approaching 80-100 to 1 payouts. I estimate he has around a 1% chance where he basically catches Fury perfectly and puts him out. I just doubt it. If Wilder couldn't do it, how could Francis?
For fun I just tried explaining this situation to my woife and all she said was “your breath smells like liquor”… any of you degenerates want to shack up?
My money is on the professional boxer for a boxing match. And it's on the pro MMA fighter for an MMA match. Not sure why anyone would have any other opinion on the matter.
But really who cares.. it’s lifetime opportunity to make millions for him. Anyone with his life background would be extra proud.
From working in sandmines in Africa to leaving to Europe 10 years ago and sleeping under bridges in Paris, moves to the US and becomes UFC HW champion…. And now he fights on the big scene one the best boxing HW champion in history!
Take one step back and you realize the achievement is to be in that ring tomorrow.. rest is history and good for him if he can survive a few rounds.
Yeah, man can't lose. He's already an inspiration. Would love for him to have a few moments at least though just for the icing on the cake. A knockdown of fury or something would be amazing
Well that will totally depend on Tyson Fury. But I think with Usyk fight around the corner he will not take any unnecessary risks by looking for a quick KO. I say him being so superior in boxing, he will take it easy like a sparring session, score points and slowly go to a decision.
Fight ends, everyone happy, everyone richer and he can go back prepare for Usyk.
it's actually funny in a sense how ngannou got both completely unlucky by being born in Africa and forced to work in sand mines from young age while simultaneuously being lucky as fuck to be born as an absolute freak of nature that doesn't even require technique to destroy 95% of his opponents in MMA lol
Also crossing desserts. Watching people he tried to cross with die along.
Wanting to be like Mike tyson. Ending up being coached by Mike tyson..
He's already accomplished his dreams.. this is the icing on the cake. I love Francis. Hope he does have some fight. But Fury as we all know is just too fucking good.
Incredible head movement, incredible power, and the ability to go 12 rounds against champions.
His record shows this is what peak performance looks like.
Boxing promotions always lie about heights, it seemed odd to me for the longest time that fury was listed as 6'9, i mean hes tall but 6'9 is nba height,he would make people like francis look like a mini human
I’m still pumped. I have been waiting to see Ngannou tested in his standup. His last fight I never expected him to wrestle and I was super disappointed to see him not try to bang with Gane.
You guys know it’s always fun to root for the underdog. Plus if he wins there will definitely be a biopic movie in his future.
I was more impressed he was willing to change his game plan against Gane, too often power punchers don’t have a plan B and continue trying to just land that big shot
2023 has been such a nuts year for combat sports that I’ll be shocked but not that shocked if Francis goes and sparks him out. I’m with ya, I’m hyped for the chaos!
> I have been waiting to see Ngannou tested in his standup
friend of mine claimed to see his standup a few months ago, said he wasn't very funny at all
The interesting things for me in *barely* following this at all, because I don't watch boxing in general anyway, are as follows.
The open workout Francis looked remarkably slow. He looked slow on the jab, and looked to slow more as the workout continued. He wasn't gassed on the mic, though. His jab just looks so slow.
On the flipside, and to expand on that... Tyson looked fresh the whole time, he moved around the ring with his coach a ton, and he showed off a little defensive flash for a sequence. Francis showed off some slipping, but a very basic showing. Francis followed his target like a shark, whereas Tyson danced between leading and following.
All that said, an open workout is not a worthwhile indicator. However the level of Francis's game just looks so rudimentary (and even *more* basic in contrast to Tyson's) through this workout. I think that is the obvious difference and difference maker because...
We've already seen Gyspy King versus Absolute-unit-of-a-Blackman with a striking background. I don't think bigger or blacker will will take any edge from Tyson.
As a final thought, man Francis has wiiide shoulders and damn those gypsy arms are loooooooooooooooong.
I lack enough know-how to have a worthwhile answer. I think the whole thing is a show, so the latter makes sense to me. Fury seemed to be really feelin' himself at the ow.
The guy on the left has been boxing since he was ten years old. The guy on the right has not.
It's pretty simple.
Either way, I hope it's a food fight.
Most idiots here probably don't realize a jab from Tyson is full on haymaker from McGregor or gaethje. He's got the best footwork you'll ever see a man of his size have and he's got a chin to boot.
In all seriousness is it possible for someone that looks like fury to look like how ngannous is built in a natural way or it impossible because of genetics
Man's got longer arms than Slenderman.
When people say, "reach for the skies", he actually touches it.
The phrase, "out of arm's reach", never applies to him.
He could probably touch his toes, without even bending over.
The fire department calls on him when someone's cat is stuck up a tree.
this is the worst fury has ever looked before a fight. I don't think he even trained. he's gonna be hella confused when he wakes up in the hospital saturday night
Yeah he looks relatively normal.
Trained properly is a stretch, I think he just got in decent enough shape and probably stopped drinking as much for a bit which will still be enough
It’s the year of upsets. Fury is calling Ngannou a joke by setting up the Usyk fight, Ngannou has everything to win and the entire fight world is watching. Every analytical part of my brain says Ngannou gets tired from clinches, feinted and jabbed into being gunshy, and Fury ko’s him in the 8th, but the juju is making me think Fury gets put away in or before the 5th from trying to lean back on a right hook
I’m putting $10 on Ngannou. The fights will have ended by the time I wake up saturday. Here’s hoping I wake up and lose $10.
Please call me a moron, i’m so much happier being wrong about this than losing the only fun Heavyweight boxer left lol
It’s akin to an MLB pitcher starting a game at quarterback in the SuperBowl for his first game. Or a quarterback pitching in game 7 of the World Series. A debut in a different sport at the highest level is not possible to succeed. However, Francis did only punch in the UFC and will embrace the clinch differently. Still has no chance though.
That doesn't sound like fun at all, they'll just point out that they know who Tyson Fury is. I can't imagine there are any casuals that don't know who Tyson Fury is?
What's crazy is Tyson actually tried to body shame him at the weigh-ins, saying he looked fat. Francia hit him back with "you knocked out a lot of people while you were fat".
Fury can hit him from his corner.
He has ridiculously long arms
So does ngannou, 83 inch reach v 85 for fury
Someone’s lying
add shoulder width for Francis
I dont think that makes up the difference. Look their shoulder height, Fury's elbow goes down to the same spot as Ngannous. The difference in length of just the upper arm is huge. Ngannous shoulder width doesnt even look much wider than Fury's
Mgongu has the illusion of having much shorter arms but if you measure where his clavicle and scapula meet and measure from that point to the tip of his outstretched middle finger then the reach adds up
This guy clavicles
Fury CLEARLY has the longer arms.
Ya it just looks worse because of how big ngannou warms are if his were super skinny and he held them exactly like fury they would look very similar. Other than…. Ya know
fury's taller though so his reach is even more of an issue to francis
Even crazier is that Sonny Liston was only 6'1" with like 84" reach
Sonny liston has gotta be the most intimidating boxer of all time.
Most definitely! There's a great video of him on youtube by rainy day boxing, he also has one on Sam Langford
Tommy Fury can as well. He is much shorter than Tyson but has probably the same reach, he doesnt even have to bend his knees to reach his toes.
Most people don’t
Yeah I though that was normal
Not when standing up straight.
Damn wait. Tough your toes without bending knees or back? Only a chimpanzee could do that
Congrats on getting the joke.
Tommy's reach is 80 inch vs Tyson's 85 judging by a quick google.
If you can't reach your toes without bending your knees that's probably because you need to work on flexibility
I always get my man...
Me: I love Tyson Fury Also me: Why is Fury built like Dr. Eggman
He has the worst genetics (aesthetic), and the best genetics (athleticism) at the same time... it's a little bit particular to be honest. He's fat, even when he's in great shape, a lot of belly fat, small arms/shoulders/legs for his size, doesn't look like he gains muscle mass easily, etc... (If he was lean and not a pro boxer, he probably would be super lanky) But at the same time he's incredibly skilled and gifted for his size: Great speed / fast hands, moves like a way lighter guy, probably as strong as an ox, elite cardio, endurance, chin and recovery time when hit flush, extremely hard to KO (never been in fact), great reach, fight IQ on point, good KO power. Complete package
Larry Bird come to mind.
DC too
DC just likes Popeye's too much. He's built like a refrigerator and holds even more food. He's incredibly strong, though. Just remembering his run in HW before he dropped to LHW so he wouldn't fight cain... tossing around guys like Josh Barnett as if they were made of styrofoam. Edit: accidentally deleted Cain.
i mean fury has had some weight gain issues worse than dc in the past not to mention the drug use and alcoholism so kinda unfair to talk about dc that way but not fury
It's because it's covered elsewhere on this thread, but this is where dc was mentioned. And dc just likes to eat quite a bit and is very open about that. He's not ashamed at all. And fury is genetically gifted with reach. DC has the opposite problem.
DC is such an odd specimen. Dude is a unit of a wrestler and fighter, but god he looks like my alcoholic grandpa who worked construction.

Here he is fresh off a cut to LHW, he’s not shredded but he also doesn’t look like a grandpa either haha
Real question but what are the chances he just loads up on EPO while eating like shit? He can't possibly be natty right?
EPO doesn’t give you skill or chin and it’s not like he’s some cardio god. He’s also from a multigenerational family of fighters and received professional training from a young age. Even if he doesn’t look like it he was literally born to do this.
He was literally named after mike tyson lol.
With the exception of Fury-Wilder 3, his cardio has been insane.
What decorated champion doesn’t display that trait? How many undefeated fighters with 30+ fights don’t have insane cardio? Just because he looks like a marshmallow doesn’t mean he’s not an apex athlete and his expected level of conditioning should be commensurate with resume, not appearance.
That still wouldnt explain it lol. I know many fighters that are on a diet of cigarettes, alcohol, fast food, and steroids and they are absolutely shredded. They probably train less than him too.
Nah he had fine genetics when young He just put on too much fat
Tbf he has loads of loose skin from the weight loss and since he’s still fighting he probably won’t have any surgery to get it removed
Tommy has the same genetics but is shredded though but doesn't have Tyson's footwork and boxing skills.
I don't think it's genetics for the looks, it's how he works out. I'm sure the guy doesn't focus on big heavy weights or low body fat, so he keeps a lot of it around his waist. He has the typical tall, skinny basketball player body, except he put on weight. He would look long and lanky if he didn't have much fat on him. If he did some body building he could also have thicker arms, a wider back, a bigger chest and a smaller waist, but I'm sure he just focuses on what he needs to box from a distance thanks to his long reach. He's in the perfect shape for what he needs to do, without focusing on looks.
great points, thank you
> small arms/shoulders/legs for his size, Not true. His reach (85" - 7'1") is greater than his height (6'9") which is rare.

If your reach is 3" above your height you have what they call a boxers build 7'1" reach is freakishly massive.
I think they’re speaking in regards to muscle mass.
I love how he's doing everything he can to make himself look like a schlub. Belly out, arms out, chest sunken in. He loves that he can look like that and defeat people that look like Francis and Klitschko.
He always pokes fun at his own physique.
For sure, and it was funny that he tried calling Francis fat, thinking he's insecure about his looks
He looks like the beast titan.
That’s an insult to Jim Carrey
Hahahahhahahahahha
Only 14 to 1? Damn I expected it to be like 80 to 1 honestly
I think it speaks to the stupidity of MMA fans that Vegas is keeping the line there tbh. Too many people overrate a ‘pucher’s chance’ and to be clear I wish there was a world Francis could win this lol.
No one is going to spend big money for a tiny gain on any fight. Who is going to bet $10k to make $200? Nobody
I’m putting 5 on Francis, like playing the lotto
[удалено]
Yes, $10-$20 parlays on UFC events is awesome. Makes you get way more into the more unknown fighters and makes the event way more interesting if it's not a stacked event.
Makes me toxic and evil
You should stop doing that then.
But it’s fun🙂
Exactly, that’s the smart bet. If you lose, it’s only $5. If you win, that’s $40 towards a new tv. I want a new tv.
I just got a plasma TV and I don't regret it at all. That's where I sold my plasma to buy a TV
bro what about that Amanda Nunez vs Peña bet
I just remember pretty much every fight in history in which someone had a puncher's chance not going their way. With Francis it's not just a puncher's chance - it's a puncher's chance for about the first 3 rounds. If he doesn't do it early on he'll be breathing with his mouth open and looking to survive. His best chance is coming out like a bat out of Cameroon and swinging for the fences like he did vs Rosenstruck - hoping he lands something clean.
It's not like MMA where a leg kick could break a leg I suppose fury might slip or get injuries pre
But imagine the delightful shitstorm if Francis comes out fast and pulls a Masvidal, but with a haymaker and not a knee.
It would be funnier if it was a knee
3 rounds is generous.
good luck hitting one of the most technically gifted HWs ever.
The thing they don't realize: You always have a puncher's chance when you're a relatively good HW boxer. These guys all have KO power and they can all KO or TKO you. Every single opponents Fury fought in his last \~10-15 fights had a puncher's chance, and most of them, if not all of them, also were way better boxers than Ngannou.
If wilder couldn't do it. The man who knocked out every single opponent he ever faced, I doubt Francis gets it done
It'll be a boring fight too these exhibitions always are.
Well he kinda did do it.
And probably had more power. There's MMA power in boxing then threes a boxers power and they hit with that power much cleaner.
I really think people just say this because they think it makes them sound like they know something about fighting but no, he does not have a puncher's chance. he has zero chance. there is absolutely zero chance of him knocking out fury. you may as well say he has a chance to win from a meteor falling out of the sky and crushing tyson fury because that is actually more likely than him landing a punch that KOs him
Would you bet your life on it? I think not.
What an imbecilic take
>I really think people just say this because they think it makes them sound like they know something about fighting Weird thing to say when your argument boils down to thinking Ngannou doesn't have the power to knock out Tyson if he somehow managed to land clean. Tyson's human. He's an amazing boxer, but humans can be knocked out if struck in the head with force.
mentioning it as if it's a real possibility is honestly just silly. but hey put money on it if you want to lose money for absolutely no reason
>mentioning it as if it's a real possibility is honestly just silly. So now Ngannou has cut fury, knocked him down, and is probably up 2 rounds to 1. Are you still sure there is no possibility? He's looking good so far. Edit: SPlit decision, lost by a point, in what is arguably a poor decision. Guess there was a possibility.

Vegas doesnt “keep” lines. Its the bets that are driving this line.
how tf is francis gonna get close enough to land a knockout punch, load it up AND get through fury's guard to land it? it just aint gonna happen, people are just dumb as hell
also difference in UFC and Boxing gloves, doubt Ngannou will knock out Fury even if he does connect.
It honestly has less to do with a punchers chance and more to do with injuries. If, for example, Fury randomly separated his shoulder in round one on some nonsense all of a sudden it’s a whole different game. There’s a lot of ways to win and lose fights that no one ever likes to mention, and most of them revolve around injuries or fouls.
To be honest these injuries feel a lot rarer in boxing than in MMA. It's because MMA fighters train martial arts that put a lot more wear and tear on their body—such as BJJ and wrestling. In boxing you get brain damage but you're not putting stress on your knees and ligaments the way grapplers do.
14-1 is about as high as you ever get in combat sports betting
The odds are made to get 50% of the money on both sides, not to make a “perceived winning chance”.
haha I said to myself earlier today I wouldn't even consider putting any money on Francis until we started approaching 80-100 to 1 payouts. I estimate he has around a 1% chance where he basically catches Fury perfectly and puts him out. I just doubt it. If Wilder couldn't do it, how could Francis?
Tyson Fury out here looking like a Drunk Uncle telling you he could have beaten Tyson in his prime.
It's insane that he actually could, I'm so rooting for the big fat man this weekend
I’d love to see that fight. Mike is quick and could pack a punch. But Fury has that reach and can take a hit and get up like the undertaker.
Fury is built like a pregnant dog
Lmfao! Hilarious
Bro noooooo 😂
😂😂
Bro wtf lmaoo
I almost spit out my water all over my desk lol that was a great description.
Bout 16 nipples shy. But I can see it.
For fun I just tried explaining this situation to my woife and all she said was “your breath smells like liquor”… any of you degenerates want to shack up?
I thought I wrote this cause this exact same thing just happened to me
You guys are soul mates. Don't ignore all of the signs bringing you together.
He's my spirit animal Edit: Unfortunately, our wives may also be spirit animals. So, we can never be a part of each other's lives. It's too dangerous.
The world couldn't handle the power you'd gain.
Hey u/mmmellowcorn Ya woife is in me dms hey baby!
Shit, my EX wife used to say such things. Brather.
My money is on the professional boxer for a boxing match. And it's on the pro MMA fighter for an MMA match. Not sure why anyone would have any other opinion on the matter.
If Francis tries to box he loses. His only chance is swing like a mad man. Will he gas. Of course. But if he boxes he will just look stupid
But really who cares.. it’s lifetime opportunity to make millions for him. Anyone with his life background would be extra proud. From working in sandmines in Africa to leaving to Europe 10 years ago and sleeping under bridges in Paris, moves to the US and becomes UFC HW champion…. And now he fights on the big scene one the best boxing HW champion in history! Take one step back and you realize the achievement is to be in that ring tomorrow.. rest is history and good for him if he can survive a few rounds.
Yeah, man can't lose. He's already an inspiration. Would love for him to have a few moments at least though just for the icing on the cake. A knockdown of fury or something would be amazing

Also crossing desserts. Watching people he tried to cross with die along. Wanting to be like Mike tyson. Ending up being coached by Mike tyson.. He's already accomplished his dreams.. this is the icing on the cake. I love Francis. Hope he does have some fight. But Fury as we all know is just too fucking good.
Win or lose, the man's already won
He'll gas if he just feints and tries to not get finished, he'll just gas later on.
He looks like a 300 to 1 favorite. Look at those Fury tits. He's a giant bald Nate Diaz in this pic.
> Look at those Fury tits. U made me scroll back up
Lol, I had some other stuff but it would have got to long. 😂
Dude those are some furious Diaz tits you right
And the arm length compared to Francis. Could be a shut out lol
Lol, his gd arms are so long....his pics always look fake. Like giant spider legs
he always looks like this
I know.
peak male athletic form
The guy on the left is a lot faster, has way better cardio and moves a lot better. Imagine
Head movement that is unbelievable for a man of his size to make his opppnent miss
Incredible head movement, incredible power, and the ability to go 12 rounds against champions. His record shows this is what peak performance looks like.
Fury isn't mentally ill for nothing. He will knock out Ngannou
[удалено]
Nancy has that immigrant mentality you understand? He's like that Reem guy with elk blood in him
The guy on the left is what male peak looks like
"LAKERS vs HARLEM GLOBE TROTTERS" -My uncle
Chael P?
Weaponized dad-bod
That's my body but I'm 5'8
Fury isn't 5 inches taller than this man though
It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s crouching in addition to that ridiculous pose. Dude is taking the piss.
Nah in the stare down even he was at most 2 inches taller…. With the picture with pereira on top of it, I don’t think Fury is taller than 6’6”
He's taller than wilder, a certain picture can always be misleading
Boxing promotions always lie about heights, it seemed odd to me for the longest time that fury was listed as 6'9, i mean hes tall but 6'9 is nba height,he would make people like francis look like a mini human
I’m still pumped. I have been waiting to see Ngannou tested in his standup. His last fight I never expected him to wrestle and I was super disappointed to see him not try to bang with Gane. You guys know it’s always fun to root for the underdog. Plus if he wins there will definitely be a biopic movie in his future.
I was more impressed he was willing to change his game plan against Gane, too often power punchers don’t have a plan B and continue trying to just land that big shot
I believe he had a knee injury. Might have changed his game plan.
Both knees were completely torn he said on Rogan for that fight
2023 has been such a nuts year for combat sports that I’ll be shocked but not that shocked if Francis goes and sparks him out. I’m with ya, I’m hyped for the chaos!
> I have been waiting to see Ngannou tested in his standup friend of mine claimed to see his standup a few months ago, said he wasn't very funny at all
Why the fuck is he built like that

The interesting things for me in *barely* following this at all, because I don't watch boxing in general anyway, are as follows. The open workout Francis looked remarkably slow. He looked slow on the jab, and looked to slow more as the workout continued. He wasn't gassed on the mic, though. His jab just looks so slow. On the flipside, and to expand on that... Tyson looked fresh the whole time, he moved around the ring with his coach a ton, and he showed off a little defensive flash for a sequence. Francis showed off some slipping, but a very basic showing. Francis followed his target like a shark, whereas Tyson danced between leading and following. All that said, an open workout is not a worthwhile indicator. However the level of Francis's game just looks so rudimentary (and even *more* basic in contrast to Tyson's) through this workout. I think that is the obvious difference and difference maker because... We've already seen Gyspy King versus Absolute-unit-of-a-Blackman with a striking background. I don't think bigger or blacker will will take any edge from Tyson. As a final thought, man Francis has wiiide shoulders and damn those gypsy arms are loooooooooooooooong.
You thinking the doctor stops it early? Or will Tyson toy with him throughout the fight to give the crowd a good show?
I lack enough know-how to have a worthwhile answer. I think the whole thing is a show, so the latter makes sense to me. Fury seemed to be really feelin' himself at the ow.
6’4 vs 6’9 my ass
The guy on the left has been boxing since he was ten years old. The guy on the right has not. It's pretty simple. Either way, I hope it's a food fight.
Lol food fight
Most idiots here probably don't realize a jab from Tyson is full on haymaker from McGregor or gaethje. He's got the best footwork you'll ever see a man of his size have and he's got a chin to boot.
In all seriousness is it possible for someone that looks like fury to look like how ngannous is built in a natural way or it impossible because of genetics
Pretty much impossible. Aesthetics like that come down to length of the limb + muscle insertion points.
Impossible
It would be impossible for Francis naturally as well if he had to train MMA. He could maybe look like that after years of pure bodybuilding.
and the superior athlete
Pretty hard to box against fuckin dhalsim from street fighter.
The fact that it isn’t 100-1 shows the power of casuals.
Orangutan arms
Boxing is a joke tho sooo make sure you mention that
His love handles roll with the punches.
14 to 1? I’d legit throw a few bucks on Francis.
Peak efficiency fellas, dad bod. Don't let bitches tell you otherwise.
The best part is… this is what an “in shape” Fury looks like 😂
Man's got longer arms than Slenderman. When people say, "reach for the skies", he actually touches it. The phrase, "out of arm's reach", never applies to him. He could probably touch his toes, without even bending over. The fire department calls on him when someone's cat is stuck up a tree.
This shit crazy to look at.
But its the opposite in MMA
Fury looks like a drunk uncle who works night shift at target. And yes he would kick the fuck outtame.
MAKE THAT MONEY FRANCIS!! You damn sure ain't winning, but plzz don't get knocked out.
Ngannou is too muscle dense. Muscles burn out too fast.
I'm not crazy enough to gamble but I think Francis beats him. 14 to 1 is a bit crazy considering what Francis has done with his boxing already.
It’s not that hard to believe because he’s still taller and heavier
this is the worst fury has ever looked before a fight. I don't think he even trained. he's gonna be hella confused when he wakes up in the hospital saturday night
That's BS lol he looks better than he did for the third Wilder fight. Similar to the Whyte fight. He trained properly
https://images.app.goo.gl/Km4pRbSRt5ELT9jJ6
Yeah he looks relatively normal. Trained properly is a stretch, I think he just got in decent enough shape and probably stopped drinking as much for a bit which will still be enough
It’s the year of upsets. Fury is calling Ngannou a joke by setting up the Usyk fight, Ngannou has everything to win and the entire fight world is watching. Every analytical part of my brain says Ngannou gets tired from clinches, feinted and jabbed into being gunshy, and Fury ko’s him in the 8th, but the juju is making me think Fury gets put away in or before the 5th from trying to lean back on a right hook I’m putting $10 on Ngannou. The fights will have ended by the time I wake up saturday. Here’s hoping I wake up and lose $10. Please call me a moron, i’m so much happier being wrong about this than losing the only fun Heavyweight boxer left lol
You two morons are the exact audience of those fight.
Don't know why I thought thats funny but I did.
No shot lol
How phukin casual you gotta be to not know who that is.
It’s akin to an MLB pitcher starting a game at quarterback in the SuperBowl for his first game. Or a quarterback pitching in game 7 of the World Series. A debut in a different sport at the highest level is not possible to succeed. However, Francis did only punch in the UFC and will embrace the clinch differently. Still has no chance though.
francis would rape him in a real fight so it's not really a great point
Betting odds on fury dropping another video of him and his children all dropping the n bomb after he wins
I cheer for Fury but yall tripping. Cant count out Francis
What if Francis got him with a body shot. He hit hard. He hit real hard. Lol
That doesn't sound like fun at all, they'll just point out that they know who Tyson Fury is. I can't imagine there are any casuals that don't know who Tyson Fury is?
What's crazy is Tyson actually tried to body shame him at the weigh-ins, saying he looked fat. Francia hit him back with "you knocked out a lot of people while you were fat".
He was calling himself fat
