Simon isnt a boxing purist. He just wants an argument 😂

Kind of losing respect for Simon. Ngannou put himself up there by going toe to toe with Fury. Joshua deserves ALL the credit for being exceptional and NOT Ngannou's control. If Ngannou wants to box and people want to see him does not matter what you think Simon. There is a buzz about boxing and we the boxing fans are absolutely loving it. Times have changed, we want more fights, fights that fans want to watch.

AJ best heavyweight in Britain and has continuously fought the best and can hold his head high

Dan came across exceptionally well there. Simon needs to wear looser boxer shorts, seemed very on edge and unnecessarily angry.

Simon needs to show a little more respect. Dan is a good guy, knows his stuff, no need to offend like that

Oh dan, you are too sensible to be on here with these two.

Simon just loves arguing didn’t have to be that offensive for Dan Hardy

Dan held his own.

People talk about Simon but that Jim is just if not more deluded…😂😂😂

Simon can cause a fight in an empty room

Did Simon have this energy when Fury fought Nganou?

Notice how Simon referred to joshua as contender instead of saying former 2 time World champion and Olympic gold meddalist

Why people are hardly talking about Usyk now is beyond me 🤷‍♂️

Simon doesn't let anybody get 3 words in these days, he's too much. His Mrs does the same on GB News.

AJ reduced Ngannou to one of those punching machines you see in an arcade that you play to see how hard you can punch.

Dan comes across really well, top bloke

Lifetime boxing fan! Dan!...Massive respect brother ✌️❤️

Great interview. I like the way they disagreed and agreed.

Great interview.

Tyson ain't beating Uysk 😂

Dan held that together well 👏🏾 Simon being Simon 🥱 😅

Dan’s too polite for Simon, get Bisping sometimes here will ya!!!😂

Great analysis from Graeme 😂

The only thing I can criticize Saudi Arabia cards for is how late they run! Midnight is far too late! especially the amount of time they delayed the early fights because Turki wasn't even in attendence

Spot on Simon

People forget MMA in itself is a crossover sport, The UFC used to be boxer vs karate, Ji jitsu vs wrestler and so on, This used to be the intrigue with MMA!!! Its not nonsense at all.

6:00 Fury wasnt "mandated" to fight Ngannou ; he did so for the green

At the end of the day they're just trying to take away AJ's credit, Fury made boxing look stupid - he though he was going to beat Francis & didn't. Big up Dan, talking sense

What an intriguing interview. 😂

Souness busy on his phone watching very specific Star Trek Next Gen clips 😉

My favourite KO ever, so definitive, especially with all the background behind this fight!!! 💀🥊

Im glad Ngannou got humbled, started getting big for his boots.

I forgot sounes was there. Lol.

Graeme Souness question at the end it was gold: “Do you really believe that Fury will beat Usyk?”.

Simon the kinda guy everybody wants to knock out

Both Simon and Dan are absolutely right in their own way. Me personally the cross over fights should stop but it's hard to deny a fighter from mma to not make money in a boxing event if they can draw that attention.

Well done Simon for standing up for boxing! Dan is someone who wants to see the fall off boxing. Don’t give these mma guys the platform. Boxing fans need to stick together 🥊

I think rhis bloke (Dan) is spot on cross over fights does have a lot of appeal, and AJ has got so much more fans than he has ever had before without question

Amazing that talksport and Simon actually think their opinions matter. Only one that gets turned on is Jim"i think we can all agree"whyte

AJ now entering his prime and under Ben Davison his confidence is at an all time high, this AJ we now have is a killer, he wipes out Fury easily wont be competitive, and I also believe he beats Usyk in a trilogy for sure!

I love Simon Jordan argument all the time. He make this channel exciting to watch. Give him credit for his balls to say what he thinks. My best pundit in the world.

Best outcome for boxing.

Thr disrespect shown by Simon Jordan is embarrassing. Firstly poking Dan Hardy, then ending up on his knees for him. Make your mind up 😂

Ultimate hubris for Ngannou switching to southpaw against AJ. No coincidence that was the moment AJ got the first knock down. Apart from Usyk, AJ has made a habit of dismantling southpaws. I don’t think Fury, with his skill level, would even attempt the same against AJ.

AJ should just fight hergovich and then whyte/parker instead of just waiting on fury to fight usky twice

This is why ngannou needs to fight again. To prove people wrong. AJ could have easily starched any top heavyweight too

I’ve heard more atmosphere at snooker that know joke 😂

Theres room for both elite boxing and cross over fights, like we’re seeing in other equally traditional and downtrodden sports like cricket and golf - The Masters for the purists, LIV golf for the UKposts generation.

Best brain in mma

Well said Dan...Simon if u want see the best v the best get into ufc......boxing is a joke ufc ain't perfect but compared to boxing it's night and day...loved watching u in ufc BTW Dan ❤

Gotta say Dan came off really well there

I think if MMA fighters cross over to boxing its fine as long as they work their way up the ladder instead of jumping the queue ahead of the boxers who have fought multiple people to get their shot.

Sometimes I like to watch UKposts videos between my adverts.

Simon Jordan........the mans never been wrong in his life and is the oracle of all knowledge!

Did the wbc mandate the ngannou fight? Tyson kept calling him out from what I remember

Jordan is bang on

“Best in the division” This fake narrative that Simon Jordan keeps spouting like it’s a fact will soon come to an end.

Beating an mma guy brings reestablished credit. Lol

At least Ngannou has some money now. He wasn’t even wearing shoes when he fought in ufc.

We need to see AJ vs Martin Bakole

AJ did say after the win he still wouldn't fight Ngannou on a Sunday lol

Bloody Hell......I agree with Simon Jordan......

Francis will never be the same after that knock out, in his mind he could not be beat and he thought he was the baddest man on the planet, his mind set will have took a big dent after that ko

for the people that thought francis would win keep the same energy lmao including you dan

Fury won’t want Joshua next if at all, he’s been running from him since AJ knocked ten bells out of him for three rounds sparring and there’s actually a tape of Fury admitting to it in a fleeting moment of honesty.

Tell em Simon

Is Simon Jordan sort of the sports commentator version of Gordon Ramsay ? I never heard of him.

Dan Hardy does have some valid points this is partly why MMA gets more traction. Very few fighters want to be in 50/50 fights or take tough fights where there is a potential to lose. TBF we can`t blame them, look how much stick Joshua has taken and the overall way he has been treated? Considering he is trying to fight as many top contenders tried many times for Wider and the Fury fight? In heavyweights the only people that are risking and taking tough fights are Zhang, Parker, Joyce and Joshua. In the lowerweights we have Terrance Crawford, Bertev and Bivol, Cannelo is cherrypicking at the moment and ducking Benevidez, Devin Hayney is fighiting people. But these only make up a handful of people fight top competition I`m sure I have missed a few names but. This is why boxing is having alot of problems. Either no competition fights or in the case of alot of fighters only fighting 1 - 2 times a year with the exception of Canelo and a few others.

Simon is %100 right

Simon: I’m not watching. I’m not watching. I’m not watching. Also Simon: Of course I watched it because I knew we’d be talking about it. So lame.

Although Dan Hardy picked Ngannou to win which was a real egg in the face moment he still has come back saying he got it wrong which you have to respect. Other's too embarrassed to show their face.

Who’s Benn fighting next?

Classy Dan Hardy

Dan, don't argue with a fool,from a distance people can't tell who is who!!

He's the Piers Morgan of sports😂

Big ups to Simon! Dan Hardy, get out of here! Heavy weight boxing is not a popularity contest!!

Franklin, Helenius, Wallin and Ngannou only the purest would know these are heavyweight boxers and not the back 4 from Juventus.

AJ was confident against a guy who has never boxed. I’m shocked.

Dan hardy is the Paul breach of MMA

The correct thing naganou should have done is start slightly at the lower level of boxing and slowly work his way up than I don,t have a problem with cross over fights, unfortunately money and politics overide that.

TF stated in the ring after his fight with MMA fighter FN that it was THE MOST difficult fight he has had……. AJ obliterated him within two rounds…… This myopic obsession with TF is delusional……

Notice now Eddie and Frank are working together, Simon can’t praise AJ enough. Whereas before he was probably one of his harshest critics.

6:15 have to disagree with Dan there. Heavyweight Boxing has been on fire since the Klitscho era ended. What’s he watching 🤔

No1 wants to avoid Zhang. U casuals forget he only beat Slow Joyce

I think Ben Davison style is perfect for AJ. Ben Davison‘s style doesn’t really focus on power. It focusses more on technique but AJ doesn’t really need to work on power. He has that natural gift from God so I think it’s a really good combination. I expect him to knock a lot more people out.

That Fury fight gave Ngannou and his team to much false confidence. All build up they questioned his chin but didnt once question if Ngannou could take AJs power. After the first knockdown you could see the gameplan go out of the window. Ngannou was scared to get hit which was why he reacted to every feint by AJ.

When I was young I was very good at karate and fighting. But when I boxed I saw with my own eyes, that I had to stay away from the opponent's arms and reach as real and dangerous as a rattlesnake. I was luckily faster than them on my feet and could stay away and move safely. But I saw and learned that a boxers tools are such a specialty and under their rules, they are the rulers. It is stupid to say that a boxer doesn't have a chance in MMA. He has. Many boxers can fight on the street and many can kick low kicks with tons of power after a few months training and are as strong as MMA fighters. It's very individual. And on the street, there are different rules yet meaning no rules and an MMA fighter could easily run into a hellbent furious different kind of fighter there as we are all bound of rules and perceptions. Just like you can't compare a dancer on ice skaters with an ice hockey player or a floor dancer you can compare different fighter disciplines. They have in time become specialists and anything else would now become depraved. Also dogs want excitement but we are not dogs and so have some self-discipline and do not get out of control neither excitement nor in hate.

It’s dangerous, imagine it would have death from a 1000 cuts

They bring all these average past boxers and analysts who don’t know anything about boxing and they give them a platform. It says a lot about their knowledge of boxing seeing how they’ve gone on and off and on and off like a light bulb since AJ’s lose in 2019. Then when he starts winning again they jump back on! Pls give the Klitschkos, the Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson’s, mayweathers the platform instead!! These dudes just say a lot of things!!!

It’s like saying I like racquet sports so I want to see Djokovic play the world badminton champion at tennis.

Enough crossovers already! Dana was always right, stay in your lane of expertise! Conor found out, Woodley found out, an old spider went for the $, Francis found out etc etc etc! We love both separately.... Put any goat of mma in with a hof boxer and it's good night! And vice versa! Jake doesn't count of course😅

It's painful to agree with Simon, but he's spot on in this, except the part at end when he said fury beats usyk. That's not going to happen

For all these purely monetary fights (cross overs and you tubers) sadly it might take for somebody,that is way over hyped, to get, life changingly injured, for it to stop.

Ngannou was not on the same level as AJ. The fight with Fury who been in a training camp no more than 3-4 weeks which made Ngannou look better on the night AJ just show how far apart a TOP LEVEL boxer is to anyone with 2 fights record.Just because AJ KO Ngannou doesn’t mean he beats Fury His movement timing was key for AJ But with a Fury or Usyk is a different fight altogether.But AJ is more active like before he got the belts That’s what’s been missing with AJ less activate was his down fall 2-3 more fights he will be king again

Mike Tyson will be the last boxer to be known as “the baddest man on the plant” because a UFC Heavyweight champion would demolish him in any other place on earth bar a boxing ring. Therefore, fights like this are good for boxing because it shows the world that the art of boxing is a skill in its own right. You can’t play boxing, no matter how tough you are in other combat sports.

True, Ngannou was stopped in the second round doesn't take anything from him. Mike Tyson defeated a world champion, same round. Let's give Ngannou another fight to test how good he is and how good AJ was to defeat Ngannou in round 2.

It was a serious lesson its one thing matching up and coming 📦 with mma but elite fighters like wilder and joshua is a 👎 👎 they could get killed I thought ngannou was unalive

All the hype and interest for AJ, Ngannou was down to Fury’s embarrassing performance. Had the self appraised best heavyweight of this era and possibly all time done what he said he was going to we wouldn’t have seen Ngannou again.

It’s doesn’t matter how prepared Fury should have been, he was never going to fold Francis like that, he landed his best shots and nothing happened. Mike Tyson would show up to fights haven’t not trained to the best of his ability and he still starched people. In addition to that Francis hadn’t competed in a year and 9 months and was coming out of 2 knee surgeries. Fury the so called “greatest of all time” has no excuse.

Hopefully he steps up now in terms of opposition and earns his shot at the belts i just hope he doesn’t stay inactive now until fury and usyk have finished the rematch’s
