Two questions

Which upset would you prefer?
And
Which upset rocks the division most in terms of positive or negative impact?

Fury KO'd by NG
Usyk KO'd DUB
Joshua KO'd Hel

Well obviously Ngannou beating Fury would be an insult to Boxing as a whole, and have a horrifically negative impact on Boxing.

Which would I prefer. I suppose Helenius knocking out Joshua. Not because I have any venom for Joshua or anything, just because it would disrupt plans the least.

Ngannou KTFO Tyson Fury w/ Mike in his corner, especially if this is Fury's last fight. https://www.givemesport.com/francis-nga ... is-corner/
I don't think Helenius upsetting Joshua benefits boxing. It would just be the end of AJ as well.

no negative impact whichever outcome as long as the better man on the given night wins!

personally I'm almost always rooting for the 'underdog' except he's really a right stupid, malignant c.vn.t, which is rarely the case as one thing boxing almost certainly over time does, is humble you and most of the outrageous behavior we see from fighters in the build up is just an entertainment act, ballyhoo to sell the fight...

don't know where I wanted to go with this.

that said, I certainly would like to see helenius knock out joshua, sending him into a healthy retirement.

Joshua got all the 'fight' knocked out of him by ruiz.

since he is gunshy to a fault.

nothing bad about to just go thru the motions, but sticking out a nonstop air jab, literally not boxing the man opposite you but the space inbetween while waiting that your opponent steps into range to, if only by accident, catch him, is just a horrible watch.

I favour dubois over usyk. dubois won't shadowbox usyk for 12 rounds like Josh did. after a couple of rounds of feeling each other out, usyk will catch one straight down the pipe. and he won't like it. dubois will zeriosly hurt him at some point after the sixth.

dubois by late stoppage. around round 9.

fury vs ngannou will be similar to fury/chisora 2. but even more one sided. I doubt ngannou will land a single, clean punch on fury

if tyson really only comes to toy around and doesn't constantly put a stiff jab in ngganniu's face followed up by a no nonsense 2. 1, 2 , 1,2, 1,2 should be the name of the game and ngannou won't be able to do anything about it.

of course there's always the chance a lucky hammer straight outta hell lands, if only by accident, right on the button and we could have a new linear heavyweight champion of the world hailing from nigeria called Francis ngannou!

:OhYes:

MAY THE BETTER MAN WIN! IF NOT BY STOPPAGE THEN BY A NONCORRUPT, FAIR DECISION!

Same, Helenius beating Joshua. I have no problem with Joshua, just to shake things up a bit.

Wouldn't mind seeing all 3!

I have a feeling that Helenius will take AJ out. His punches are so long I can see him hurting AJ early and maybe ending it just the same.
