Carl Froch Makes Case Against Tyson Fury: ‘You’re on the slide’

Former super-middleweight world champion, Carl Froch, tried to prove why Tyson Fury’s boxing abilities are on a decline.

Fury’s last match against a boxing debutant named Francis Ngannou ended badly in many boxing fans’ perspectives, with a lot of people believing Fury was gifted the victory.

They could not imagine having Fury as the winner after watching the WBC heavyweight champion get knocked down in an early round, and finding Ngannou the better man during bout.

But Froch alleged that a study of Fury’s most-recent fights convinced him that the fighter had been on a slide.

According to a report from Boxing Scene, Froch spoke thusly about Fury’s form:

‘Fury must have just been having a really bad night – or, like I think, Fury’s past his best. He’s seen better days.

‘I study the sport and I study the fights, and Tyson Fury used to throw 30-plus feints a round. Feint, feint. Draw his opponent in, feint. Double jab, right hand. He’s not doing the feints anymore. He’s doing four or five feints. He’s slow on his feet.

‘He’s been knocked down five times [in recent years]. When you’re hitting the floor and getting hit on the chin and not throwing feints and not as busy as you used to be, that means you’re past your best and you’re on the decline and you’re on the slide.’

It could be that Fury found a way to save his strength, but the fact that Anthony Joshua beat Ngannou in two rounds recently might sway fans’ judgements.
