I've done martial arts since i was 15, watched boxing, K1..
Francis Ngannou is a better boxer/fighter than Wilder, and I said so months before this fight.
Wilder got slaughtered... Ngannou had a sparring session.
Never thought we'd get to this stage, but honestly at this point I think Ngannou is a genuine threat to Wilder. Obviously Wilder has massive power compared to Fury, but Ngannou is probably the biggest puncher Wilder would have been in there with too. He is also much stronger and has a better chin, I feel he'd probably take Wilders best shot better than Wilder could take his.
Theres so much smoke and mirrors with this current HW scene tbh. To think Wilder has a record of 43-2, has been a major part of the division for over a decade and yet has fought virtually nobody. Most of these guys are like 80% image and reputation rather than actual results.
it just further shows how weak this HW era is
the 90s HW era is overhyped...and was way worse than this one.
the 80s HW era was probably worse than even the 00s era.
Well you can see it 2 ways. Wilder needed 40 fights before taking Tyson on. Francis took Tyson on in 1st fight. But wilder got 40 ko s.
So pick what you like. Other than than that, let's wait for them to fight each other
Wilder can't take Furys punches, but he's supposed to withstand Ngannous?
Ngannou doesn't react to spin kick to the head . A punch is not going to stop him
Gtfoh he never been punched by a boxer with that kind of punching power
Wilder would take his head off. Don't forget Wilder is very explosive in the late rounds. As soon as Francis slows down in the later rounds or even before that Wilder will catch him

what makes people think Wilder is up for it? High risk low reward plus Ngannou is like his African bruva and all dat.
I don’t think it’s a low reward, the fight would sell at this point.
Ngannou v Wilder was the one I wanted to see anyways. Much more interesting hype for that, and even better now.

Wilder sparks him 1 round.
Fury was just fat, and unmotivated, and wasn’t ready for an awkward elite MMA athlete hungry to win. His own fault but these are the facts, he thought it’d be a walk in the park and didn’t train. He’s lucky it wasn’t under mma rules or a real right, he’d be in a stretcher.
People always say your best win is better than so and so fighters best win on paper so must be greater? True Francis did better than wilder did, but wilder s got 40 kos and wins under belt
We know Wilder only wants to fight for easy paydays. Ngannou pays more the Ruiz and is an easier knockout. Call the Saudis and tell them to front the money.

Wilder on his best day KOes Ngannou. Just because fury looked bad against him doesn’t change that.
You guys do realize that there was no tape out on Francis to study from, right? Lol dude was throwing counter left hands and going southpaw; no one knew what to expect. Having no film on a fighter makes a fight that much more difficult
The more Francis boxes, the more tape will be out there. And the worse he'll start looking against boxers. Until then, we can't really judge
