Comments Thread For: Francis Ngannou Guarantees Boxing Crossover: Wants Wilder, Fury

[sallyField]

It looks like he wants a big money fight in boxing, obviously. That money can't be too great in the UFC, even if a few can and maybe do get paid over a million dollars for a fight.

Ngannou is not a boxer though, he'll get beaten by a journeyman fighter in boxing.

Big Frank nganou is a good boxer he had a legendary 8 round sparring slugfest with Joe Joyce and more than held his own

All these guys know where the money is at
They all wanna crossover but are blinded by the coin , not realizing that it’s another animal , totally different and not so easy to blend

Another top UFC guy looking for a boxing payday...nothing new there.

Ngannou should fight AJ instead.

Ngannou would not do well in boxing. Dreadful cardio, sloppy/reckless technique, and the fact that touch-of-death power in 4oz. gloves does not necessarily translate to 10oz., as evidenced by guys like McGregor and Mike Perry.

Francis is well suited to MMA because it's a shoot out. His raw power and intimidation factor is enough to overcome his many flaws. In boxing, his lack of fundamentals, low fight IQ and poor stamina would all be exposed rather quickly.

If he just wants to cash out on his name (whatever that may be worth) with one of those goofy crossover fights or to simply fulfill a dream of lacing up the gloves one time, fair enough. But if he has serious aspirations about a permanent career change... well, good luck with that.

I'm surprised Eddie Hearn hasn't jumped on him for Chisora who refuses to retire .Del is way down the serious fight list but could earn some money in a circus fight here .

Steady on Tiger. You might want to start with Jake ' the wrecking ball ' Paul, first.

These guys are making boxing a joke - all the fights are fixed as will his will be until he gets to 20-0 . Then he will get tossed in w someone not willing to get paid off and get laid out in 20 seconds . Anyone else who has boxed knows how silly this all is. It’s like me saying ‘well, I’m 7ft so I’m gonna join the nba.’ Doesn’t work like that - he couldn’t beat a top 200 heavyweight

he couldn’t beat a top 200 heavyweight

More like top 25.

Guys like Dave Allen and 42 year old literal former D level MMA fighter Lucas Browne are considered top 100.

Talking like this right as you're about to defend your belt against maybe your toughest opponent yet is not a good sign at all.

They always do this, they start buying their own hype and talk about how they can beat boxers in boxing matches and then boom they go on a losing spree.
