Isn't it possible Ngannou has more power than Wilder?

I think you might want to reevaluate the maths there mate.

Francis Ngannou has 12 KO's in 20 fights which equals 60%

Conor McGregor when he fought Floyd had 17 KO's in 24 fights which equals 70.8%

McGregor also knocked out the P4P #1 ranked fighter in 13 seconds with one punch.

So, you're wrong, again.

He has 12 kos out of 17 wins. 3 of the additional stoppages were from Ngannou submitting his opponents despitynot knowing jack **** about Jiujitsu.

Ok so now you're either trolling or retarded.

Which one?

There is a HUGE correlation between strength and size of the muscle. The only other factor is number of fast twitch muscle fibers..but those are evenly distributed between the groups so it's not a confounding variable.

Ok. What does submitting people have to do with KO's?

McGregor had a higher KO% when he fought Floyd than Ngannou has now and that is a fact.

Strength and size of muscle has no correlation between punching power.

I'm citing 2015 because that's when Wilder fought him, when Stiverne was WBC Champion.

I only got into MMA in the last 10 or so years, I'm a casual fan I don't understand any of the grappling or submissions (Getting better) but guys I like or have liked since I started watching it would be Dan Henderson, Masvidal, Jon Jones, Khabib, Gathje, erm I liked GSP and Bisping there's quite a few to be fair I like the guys back stories and stuff like that and personality. The UFC fighters remind me of WWF characters and it reminds me of a better time in Boxing.

Thats cool mang it's a fun sport to get into. we're boxing purists through and through but its cool seeing another combat sport, its crazy interesting.

If Fury is so confident of victory, why won't he put a title on the line?

Maybe fury wants to give impression this is just a keep busy type thing, and don't want to insult boxing fans

Strength and size of muscle has no correlation between punching power.

"Most people are born with 50% slow-twitch muscle fibers and 50% fast-twitch muscle fibers.

"Only elite strength or power athletes might have 80% type II muscle fibers and endurance athletes have about 90% type I."

[Pugilist89]

For boxing and power there only one other factor besides fast twitch muscle fiber, and that is size of the muscle.

Foreman is generally percieved as being a slow twitcher but it's not true. He had a snappy jab and good TOP speed on his punches. They weren't very accurate though because he swung them very long. He wasn't the most coordinated athlete, like a Wladimir Klitchko. Or else he would have tightened them up more often.

Ok...

What does this have to do with the fact there is no correlation between muscle strength and size and punching power?

He has a rematch clause as well according to Ngannou Does that sound like a confident man?
