    To those that dont have their heads completely buried in the sport its obvious: size matters. Is it just coincidence that pracrically every top HW since Lennox Lewis has been a gargantuan regardless of skill? Klitchkos, Tyson Fury, AJ to an extent, now Zhang and Ngannou, last of whom has basically zero boxing experience but ‘outsized’ the reigning size-king Fury.

    Two words for you NBA and NFL.

    Any decent athletes with dedication over 6 feet 2 in the US will go in one of these sports. When you have bums with no skills and no talent, the only separation factor is size

    Joseph Plonker is possibly ahead despite 2 10-8 rds against him. The power of Zhang compelled him to hit the floor twice but he's won more rounds

    Zhang couldn’t do shit other than rely on one punch. Props to Parker for the win.

    Glad that is over. Now we'll see Joshua smash Ngannou. He's made the most out of a moment against Fury.

    I'm happy Francis got these paydays though. A huge fuck you to Dana White.

    Parker at least fights back when he's hit now, which is an improvement.

    I'm never bad-mouthing Joshua again. Nothing against Ngannou, he is a good dude. But when an MMA fighter that has incredibly limited Boxing ability gets his lucky Rocky Balboa moment, and the whole world thinks it wasn't just a fluke, then you've got to put him down.

    AJ made Ngannou look like an amateur. Too easy. Fury should be ashamed of himself for almost losing to Ngannou.

    Joshua was great tonight. Did what he had to do in spectacular fashion. No, it obviously wasn't a great win in terms of the opponent, but he rescued a bit of boxing's reputation after that fucking shambles with Fury.
