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

[Kannabis Kid]

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 think his power will carry over but that's about it you were right about everything else.

If Ngannu is still champ after Usyk and Fury Unify than I dont see why they shouldnt box. The boxing HW champ should be known as the baddest man on the Planet.

Boxing in MMA is different than boxing in boxing. If these MMA guys want to fight boxers , they're going to have to learn boxing for the sport of boxing.

Coffie probably takes him out and he's talking Fury & Wilder

[CPNUTKnockoutFreshMart]

He needs to focus on his upcoming fight , Ciryl Gane is at least even money , maybe better against him.

[REDEEMER]

If he loses his next UFC fight like I think he will against the better boxer Ganes, it will damage his boxing marketability.

He then takes him out for coffee and they head back to Coffies place and make Irish Coffees and they start making out and it leads to other stuff .

Translation: I'm tired of being underpaid and I want to cash out like Woodley!

White is pure swine.

Ngannou is a physical monster and Jake Paul would go nowhere near him, you bonafide halfwits.
