So I checked out Ngannou on the web

So I checked out Ngannou on the web.

The 36 year old man has very little boxing skill. He is a tough man like " boxer "who happens to be very strong. He has next to no jab or real boxing skills on offense or defense. Boxing is a sport. He is a 0-0 boxer with no boxing amateur experience that I can judge. I would not dispute he can hit hard, so I'm giving him a puncher's chance with no boxing experience. He is a 100 to 1 underdog in my book in this " fight "

Fury is guilty of a scam like fight. He is cheating boxing and making money on the drunk British fans and MMA fans. Up next for him is tarnnies, midgets, and LGBQT crowd. He'd better watch out and pay attention to the rules of the fight contact.

The only interesting thing about this fight is to discover how good a boxer ngannou is. But most people might not be interested at all in finding that out.
I think Joe Joyce sparred with him and said had awesome strength and power

I’ll watch but won’t pay to see his fights

I saw an interview with Joe Joyce's manager talking about Joe sparring Ngannou. He said he watched them sparring and, in his opinion, Ngannou wouldn't be good enough to win even a regional boxing title in the UK. He said Francis was extremely strong, but had no boxing skills at all, and Joe had to hold his punches back to keep from hurting him.

Well hes 36 and never had a pro boxing fight, probably never an amateur fight. So it's fair to say he has absolutely no business in the ring with a top level boxer outside of an entertainment spectacular for big money.

Power and strength have no factor in this one. Plenty of heavyweights are very strong units and hit hard, David Price for example. It means very little beyond a certain level as a pro, and he was a very credible amateur. Its also hard to use physical strength v someome the size of Fury, just ask the likes of Whyte.

Fury does what he wants with Ngannou if it's a genuine fight. It depends what agreement they've had before the fight.

If they've agreed have a little dance around and play tippy tap boxing to let the Saudi pantomime have some longevity, then Fury will carry him and let him look ok. This is pretty much what I'm expecting from this "fight"

If its a real fight and Ngannou tries to really make a fight of it, Fury will give him a pasting as easily as he wants.

that's pretty much the top and bottom of it. Just like it would be the other way around in a UFC cage.


Fair play to Ngannou though, by far the most money he's ever made to have a dance around with Fury and get carried. Or at worst, get a beating when nobody expects him to win anyway.

Solid assessment. Couldn’t agree more. Too many people around here really don’t understand or respect what it is to be a champion in boxing. It’s not a tough guy contest. Ngannou is obviously a real force in his realm, but now he’s stepping into something quite different — against the best, no less. Francis is living the dream. He has no business in there against the heavyweight champion…and he’s getting paid a boatload of cash to do it.

Yep. But if Fury by chance gets Ko'd, he loses the lineal heavyweight title, and expect stories of a fix. There is no need to watch this. Let the Saudi's pay for it. And Fury better watch his mouth while he's there.

As much as I hate this fight I dont blame Ngannou at all for taking the opportunity, getting paid and stepping into someone else realm to fight them on their terms. At the same time no 0-0 guy should be walking right into something like this, even with a previous combat sport background. All the fault lies with Fury for allowing it to happen because hes a ****ing coward who doesnt want to defend his belt against top contenders in his own sport. Him fighting an MMA guy in pure boxing rules is weak too especially considering all his "fighting man" talk, wont even compromise to something like kickboxing rules and yet hes a fighting man and a gypsy warrior and all that ****e lol.

Give me an order of Mayweather/ McGregor and super-size it,
