Ngannou has never felt anything close to the type of power Wilder possess.
4oz gloves, kicks and knees in the head are much harder than Wilders punches. Granted Ngannou doesnt exactly experience those much either.
Ngannou he's shown he can learn while Wilder biggest fault is he'd rather take punches all night. Also Wilder gas tank is questionable since he does nothing but wait for the right hand and then unloads a fury of punches afterwards.
We've been through this. If Ngannou could beat top boxers in a boxing match, he'd be a boxer because guys like Fury, Joshua, and Wilder make way more than guys like Miocic, Cormier, or Ngannou.
Lol Wilder within a couple of seconds. Ngannou is a mma fighter with crazy power for a mma fighter. in boxing his power would be within the upper 20% of HW, but thats it. His skills are 0. Wilder isnt very skilled himself, but he is Sugar Ray Robinson compared to Ngannou.
Lol not anymore

If you compare each of their last fights you can argue that Big Frank looks like the more skilled one.

Honestly he would get destroyed within a few rounds by Wilder, if he lasts more than 4 I would be shocked. His mouth would be wide open after 2 mins, he doesn’t have the patience or ring IQ for boxing. Yesterday he had to be told/coach throughout the fight. It was great that he had Kamaru in his corner.
Weirdly enough I don't think his chances are horrible. Showed a fuckload of fight IQ tonight and he seems to learn well. Can't remember many boxers in the heavies who avenged their losses in such spectacular fashion these days. Ryan Garcia said that he felt Ngannou was more skilled than Wilder and I found that interesting. Wilders problem is two fold, one being that he is heavily dislike and two being he has become a very negative, dropping points in order to capture the right hand.
I'm still curious how Ngannou does against Jones. I don't actually see him winning that fight.
Ngannous power wouldnt be as potent with boxing gloves and standing counts. Plus Wilder, sloppy as he is, is still more technically adept and particularly better at controlling range. Also big Franks gas tank is pretty shitty, the guy makes Joshua look lean.
Wilder KOs him in boxing. Probably within 4.
