Comments Thread For: Tony Bellew Cautions Francis Ngannou To Remain in MMA, Avoid Boxing Run

Since this is partially about mma, I have a random question. I read that Jon Jones manager's name is Richard Schaefer. Is that boxing's Richard or some random guy?

I love how dismissive you guys are of Francis. This guy can turn anyone's lights out in the blink of an eye. He probably is actually the hardest puncher in the world. Why wouldn't he box?

TBH there is nothing that makes me believe Francis wouldn't be able to mix it up within the top 20-30 in boxing...the talent is that weak. Some of you legit need to watch some actual heavyweight fights. A lot of the skillset is...modest to say the least. If Fabio Wardley can find himself with a British title barely 5 years in and only possessing an amateur pedigree consisting of a bunch of white collar fights then I'm pretty ****ing certain Ngannou could do perfectly fine.

It's with good reason he only has a punchers chance. Did you see how timid he was against Derrick Lewis? Maybe it's because he got a 5 round beatdown previously by the much smaller Miocic. The only reason he won the 2nd fight with Miocic is because Stipe got careless when he thought he had him hurt and walked right into the biggest strength of Francis.

I like Francis he does a lot for Cameroon and carries himself well, he's a smart guy too he learned English fairly quick and always presents himself well in the media. I wouldn't mind him fighting someone like Mark Hunt or Lucas Browne though just keep him away from the the top 10 he doesn't deserve it and it would be a very predictable outcome, after 4 rounds his power will dwindle and so will his gas tank.

6 foot 4, 250 pound and he can fight... He's more than qualified for the heavyweight division. The division isn't that strong.

His problem is that he's 36. He's got nowhere near the time to get to the top level.

He'll fight once and make a fortune losing.

Ain't no way we have the UFC fans coming out and acting like Francis is some world level boxer lol

I'd like to see Francis fight old man Chisora and see what happens.

Ahhh, I guess you haven’t seen the money YouTubers are making boxing. Boxing fans are young and dumber than in the past. 80% who post excessively on here are part of that group. Shhh, don’t tell them. They think they are the brightest.
