Comments Thread For: Mike Tyson on Ngannou: Fury Has Never Been in The Ring With Somebody That Can Punch This Hard

[jaded]

I wonder what kind of shape Tyson Fury is in these days. If he's underestimating Ngannou and comes in ill prepared, Francis might pull it off. Tyson keeps getting more blubbery as time goes by. I think there is a reason why he wouldn't commit to Oleksandr Usyk right now. Ngannou is a pretty determined guy with freakish power. I know Tyson should win this fight, but I can't help but wonder about it.

Mike has always been way smarter than people give him credit for but whatever the reverse of broken clock right twice a day thing is this is one of those times. He absolutely has been in the ring with someone who can punch that hard and quite a bit with Wilder. I would say Wilder hardest puncher in history so yeah Mike that claim doesn't fly with anyone.b

That was until he decided to be stoned every day, says a lot of intermingled rubbish these days.

Tyson is high all the time now. That is all you need to know. Plus this fight is getting zero hype. Tyson was brought in to boost interest.

These MMA guys learn quickly they're not true boxers. They're like Sun Hung in 7 grandmasters. Being good at multiple skills, but not specializing in 1 particular skill. And even if they do specialize in wrestling, jiu-jitsu, or muay thai, it doesn't translate to boxing. Boxers specialize in boxing. MMA fighters may fair better in a street fight.

The gloves alone take time to sync into. That and he's trying to do it vs the HW champ. If Ngagoo had any boxing in him, we'd know it already.

How much was Mike paid? Hired gun these days!

Mike, you’re doing too much mate

Mike's weed must be really good because there's no way you could say definitively that Ngannou punches harder than Wilder. He's KO'ing people with those little MMA gloves. Let's see what he can do with boxing gloves on. We all remember when McGregor was considered the hardest striker in the UFC but when he landed a couple of clean shots on Mayweather early in their "fight" it was like a cool breeze came by.

He is probably top 5 on Furys resume in terms of pure power. The guy is ****ing huge and very athletic for his size, and puts everything into his shots. But he doesnt have anything in his arsenal with the one shot finisher power that Wilders right hand does. Hes also pretty damn sloppy and telegraphed with a poor gas tank. Not much nuance to his game, just a big strong athletic guy with power. I'm not sure hes much less of a threat than Shyte or Del Boy though tbh.
