Don't want either man to loss but if I had to pick a winner, I guess I'm leaning towards AJ because he has a lot more to lose if he loses to Nganou on the 8th.

    Yes and my heart broke for AJ after his second defeat to Usyk. I felt his pain when that dream got shattered. He’s given everything to the sport, dragged it up from the gutter and brought the bright lights back to the game only for the sports so called experts to turn on him, and of course the really big audiences of casual fans that make up social media and the big stadium attendances. But he’s coming back and he will be three time Heavyweight Champion of the World

    ​​@@TheLjroweJoshua didn't do Usyk any favours, he fought him because he was a mandatory challenger and he would've looked like a complete muppet, if he dropped his belts instead of taking the fight. Also as far as being a superstar, he's not even the best Heavyweight and he's nowhere near top 10 p4p status, so how is he a 'superstar' ? Honestly, you AJ groupies are on next level of delusion. The guy's a good fighter, who's had his time, but has been outclassed. And that's it.

    Having watched Fury, Wilder and Joshua become the three headed monster over the past 3+ years, we now see that AJ was the one with the better record, was unified champion for longer, became 2 time unified champion and has actually adapted to different types of fighters, competition, tried different trainers and at this moment, he is closer to being a champion again and in his prime rather than Fury and Wilder who are really in the twilight of their careers and probably have about two MAJOR fights left between. It's crazy because I did not see it shaking out like this but that's what we're left with and now we see that AJ was the one with the better record, potential and pedigree all along, it was just the smoke screen of Wilder's explosive KOs (and in fairness to him, he was five years WBC champion with ten defenses although it was not the most elite competition) and bluster of Fury (who until recently had not defended the titles he won, like when he beat Wlad he struggled with success and the Wilder trilogy took something huge out of him). I am now interested to see if after the 2 Fury-Usyk fights and both might retire (which is possible) if AJ goes out and collects all the belts again. Good times for HW boxing in particular and boxing in general.

It's gonna be tough choosing who to root for on March 8th, and even tougher to predict who will win, because you don't sleep on Ngannou. He's extremely dangerous, but so is this version of AJ. It's gonna be a hell of a match. Boxing Gods, please let this fight and Fury Usyk be absolute barnburners!
