Comments Thread For: Ngannou's Trainer: WBC Prez Said He's Going To Give Top 10 Ranking

[aAgger]

To most observers, Ngannou won that fight against Fury but was robbed. The least he deserves is a top 10 ranking.

'Better than most heavyweights in the top ten' I don't think I'd pick him over wilder Joshua Anderson Zhang or hgrovic tbh. Look he performed out his skin and I thought he won 3 rounds with the knock down and he pushed fury very close and gave him the fright of his life but if a guy with a 0-1-0 record can get a WBC title shot then why do we even have these rankings.

Lol, okay...

Very close but I thought Ngannou nicked it but couldn't argue either way.This guy is the MMA heavyweight champion for good reason ...he knows how to fight and is as strong as they come with a huge strike. Some prospective is needed here as he will give anyone of the so called contenders trouble , most more trouble than they can handle .He made the best heavyweight in the world look pretty ordinary.

Name ten (not four) heavyweights better than him 0n paper, those you'd give a 55-45 chance to beat him - I'm struggling

Ngannou is the proverbial Rocky l at 37 years old. It's a great story...

“There’s no way a fight between any boxer and the UFC heavyweight champion in mixed martial arts goes to that type of decision.”

We’ve seen a boxer knock out a former UFC heavyweight champion in MMA.

Who? Holmes? Mercer?

Judging a fighter because of one fight is ******.

People's overrate Ganou's performance he won 3 rounds out of 10 against a Fury who was'far from his best.

After Maidana vs Floyd 1 we didn't think Maidana was P4P number number 2.

Now people will be aware of N'gannou style and power. And he won't fight the fight of his life twice in a row.

I would not be surprised if N'gannou lose to Helenius next lol

Let's see if he can do it again. Ranking well deserved but hello have to back it UP.

[dannnnn]

I hope the WBC at least give him a belt or two for this.

Fighters are all cut from the same cloth. When you refocus your training to fit the rules and sharpen what makes you special, a fighter can jump between the prizefighting rules; a fact proven once again.

Heavyweights who have achieved a top 10 ranking in two of the three big combat sports during their fight career:

William Miller. Boxing and Wrestling
Patrick Smith. Kickboxing and MMA
Maurice Smith. Kickboxing and MMA
Mark Hunt. Kickboxing and MMA
Frans Botha. Kickboxing and Boxing
Semmy Schilt. Kickboxing and MMA
Mirko 'Cro Cop' Filipovic Kickboxing and MMA
Ray Mercer. Boxing and MMA
Alistair Overeem Kickboxing and MMA
Francis Ngannou Boxing and MMA


Heavyweight title challengers who dropped the champion in their first pro fight:

Pete Rademacher. 1957
Francis Ngannou. 2023


Nagganu's performance may inspire more fighters to cross up to the big money fight sport, and Boxing MMA fighters like Ngannou have to be tempted.

Let’s face it, Sulaiman has no shame when it comes to sniffing a potential sanction fee. He was going to do the same if Jake Paul beat Tommy Fury. This is the same buffon who from one side of his mouth wants to clean up boxing PED cheats, then from the other side of his mouth agrees that Connor Benn shouldn’t be suspended after his two failed drug test, because he agrees that Benn tested positive only because he consumed too many egg’s Benedict for breakfast. What a ***** shameless buffon.
