      I can't believe anyone thinks Ngannou beats Joshua.

      He's levels and levels and levels below him.

        LOL Joshua has C level talent with an A level physique.

          This is where some of you guys need to wise up or sober up.

          Joshua has PROVEN himself. He's beaten mandatories. He's beaten challengers. He's unified belts. You don't do those things with C grade talent. You don't beat guys that you didn't choose. It doesn't mean he's the best, but he's very much proven at the top level.

          Ngannou has lost an exhibition against a guy who hasn't fought in a year, hasn't fought at a high standard in a long time, and didn't even bother to shed the extra flubber that he piled on in that time.

          I'll give plenty of credit to Ngannou. It's a great achievement to go close. But you guys just don't know what you're looking at.

            I change my opinion.

            He has C- skill.

              Eddie Hearn is scrambling to make this fight as we speak.

              I could see it happening, it’s another big payday for Ngannou and Joshua’s team likely thinks a win would allow them to one up Fury.

                Ngannou is full of confidence, has a strong work ethic, and relentless will to win. That's powerful.

                AJ has more experience but I'm not sure he has the self-belief and when they're fighting it out in the trenches I'd give Ngannou the advantage.

                  Also Ngannou hasn’t been training just striking for decades (like all the other boxers). He might actually be fresher with less damage to the head and have less miles on the clock than the other top guys.

                    Ngannou probably has the better chin. And is at least comparable in power and athleticism if not better. Hes also mentally stronger. AJ is the more skilled boxer though and isnt an unfocused undisciplined slob like Fury. Could be an interesting fight I suppose. Tbh i'd rather see Ngannou show the full range of his talents in MMA though, but the paydays mean hes probably staying in boxing now.
