Does anybody still think Wilder is better than Ngannou?

    Both have a status built solely on putting up a good show against Fury.

    The question of ability might be better aimed at Fury than those guys.

        It's a shame Ngannou wasn't more aggressive the last few rounds. He was the better fighter but he was was too cautious after the knockdown.
        Well that's what I mean. If there's a rematch, Fury will just poke around and probably win a boring decision.

        We do have to seriously consider how overrated Tyson is getting knocked down by this dude who really was just happy to go 10.

          I agree it says more about Fury. But Ngannou is a top level boxer, in this era at the very least.

          ​​​​​
          ​​​​​He didn't even show his best stuff. He had a safety first approach. To prove people wrong that he can go the distance.

            Will be interesting to see him next up. I'd be shocked if he didn't now campaign in boxing moving forward.

            Honestly, I didn't see boxing greatness in Ngannou. Much better than expected and absolute credit to him, but this was all about Fury. I suspect some decent boxers would love to fight Ngannou.

              They both suck as boxers.

              Wilder has a little better ring IQ.

              If Ngannou had some ring IQ and combinations ability, lights out for Fury.

                This version of Ngannou would get broken down by 70s Foreman. Ngannou needs much more experience. But he's easily WC caliber this era. He can take a similar approach against Wilder and win.

                  Ngannou v Wilder was the one I wanted to see anyways. Much more interesting hype for that, and even better now.

                    Only 1 way to find out the Saudis wanted the make AJ vs wilder how about Ngannou vs Wilder with the winner getting no chin no engage AJ. These fights will probably sell more than fury vs Usyk sad but true. Wilder vs Ngannou is a who connects first, Ngannou got hit with shots the killed wilder yet was unfazed only 1 way to find out. We want to see fury vs Usyk as well maybe 1 epic cars yet that probably is to much $

                      Prime Mike Tyson would have beaten this version of Ngannou too. But these are all time greats..

                      And Ngannou is fresh.
