Comments Thread For: Ngannou: Everybody is Beatable, I Think I Can Take Tyson Fury Down!

The Mount Rushmore of upsets. Regardless of your generation or sport of choice, the top candidates for chiseled-granite immortality can probably be plucked from a similar crop of wannabes. The New York Jets in Super Bowl III.

Sure Fury deserved the decision in the first Wilder fight, but then again, if the referee had not allowed a full 10 seconds from the time Fury rose at the count of 9 3/4 and the fight resuming, he might have been stopped in the 12th. If he had, say, seven fewer seconds to recover, it certainly seems more than possible that Wilder would have landed another bomb. Also, in 2009 Fury clearly lost to John McDermot and yet was given an incomprehensible nod by the scoring referee. If I remember correctly, even Fury admitted he might have lost.

Fury is the closest thing to be unbeatable.

You chose a wrong dance partner. You would have a chance against glass AJ.

Ngannou doesn’t punch harder than Deontay Wilder and has much fewer boxing skills.

This should be easy work for Tyson Fury.

This is a business fight/show. It should've been a kickboxing/muay thai fight with mma gloves to be a very intriguing fight. Fury has all the advantages on his side. Easy big money for Fury.

"To stay unbeaten avoid the blokes that can do it" Tyson Fury.

"To stay unbeaten avoid the blokes that can do it" Tyson Fury.

Joshua , Usyk , Hrgovic, Joyce and possibly Sanchez are the ones that potentially cause him problems. He hasn’t fought any of them . Instead he’s made excuses not to fight them so much when offered even Joyce last year he said his Instagram numbers were to low so took on the Chisora fight instead .

Hopefully his next cherry pick goes horribly wrong at this point it won’t matter if he rematched Ngannou he’s retired anyway and will hold this belt hostage might as well want someone to knock him out with a choke gies away .

Let's be very clear....

It is very unlikely that even the greatest of MMA champions or natural fighters could develop the skills nessesary so quickly to zoom past the 5,000 some-odd heavyweights who are actively engaged in a full-time boxing rules focus career.
Simply put, the sport of Boxing is to large and too lucrative to make that plausible.
This is not like an MMA striker going into BKFC and doing well, because that is a tiny sport roster, and when comparing the combat sports, talent pool depth drives everything.

That said, odd things do happen.

1980s-90s Boxing contender Ray Mercer was thoroughly used up when he tried out what he had left, combined with Zero cross traing in the smaller combat sports.
In 04' he tried K-1 Kickboxing, and fought to a near standstill with top contender Akio "Musashi" Mori, the best Asian Kickboxer who ever lived, but dropped the close decision. He followed up strait into a fight with reigning GP champion Remy Bonjaski and after taking a solid head kick, he decided the money in K-1 wasn't worth that and simply quit. So in 07', after a series of scheduled boxing matchups fell through, which included a proposed bout against Hasim Rahman, due to Mercer's advancing age and positive Hepatitis-C test; Mercer decided to try MMA. Felix Martinez, of Cage Fury Fighting Championships, approached Mercer about a standup, worked match against internet brawler Kimbo (Kevin Ferguson) Slice, who was being converted for MMA. Mercer went along with the script, allowed himself to be driven to the wall, taken down and "choked out" for some very good pay. Mercer was no stranger to such indignities as he had once, back in his prime, offered a mid-ring bribe to fringe contender Jessie Ferguson because he "didn't have it tonight".

Still, when Mercer was on, he was really on, even as he was approaching 50.

On June 13, 2009, he made history when he won the most important, if not most well publicized Boxing vs. MMA fight ever held under MMA rules, when, at a rotund 256 pounds he defeated former 2-time UFC Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia at Adrenaline III - Bragging Rights, in Mercer's debut in the sport. He won the fight via knockout in 9 seconds with a huge right hand to the chin, becoming the first man to ever defeat Sylvia by knockout.
At that time Silvia was still top 5 ranked in MMA (a spot that Mercer took), and was widely regarded as one of the 10 best Heavyweights in the sport's history.

If some how, Francis Ngannou should catch Tyson Fury on the chin and knock him out under Boxing rules, then MMA will have evened the score. Something that the Randy Couture vs. CTE suffering James Tony farce at UFC 118 could not accomplish one year after Mercer's cross-sport conquest.
