What a hot discussion here Grin Do you think we need a rematch? Why not make another poll? Even though Fury won in a split decision, I dont think there should be a rematch. The problem was not because Ngannou is so good and can fight with champions on equal level, but simply because Fury underestimated him. If they would have a rematch I dont think that Fury is going to be so passive and slow. Because in that fight he did not show any footwork and tactics. He was rather straightforward. There were no tricks from him. He was only better at talking before the fight.

I agree that we could use a new poll, but I disagree that there shouldn't be a rematch. So the only argument is that we can assume that Fury underestimated Francis and he would surely destroy him in a rematch? By that logic, why do we have any fights at all, why not just make assumptions on who would defeat who  Grin
Fury himself admitted that he came properly prepared and did not underestimate Ngannou's skills, so there's no reason not to believe him.
He will fight with Usyk anyway, so there's no need he can't fight Francis again after that. I think the exceptionally good performance of Francis put a dent in entire boxing as a sport, so it's in everyone's interest to have Fury proving to the world that he can do better than the first time around.
