A fight between Wilder and Ngannou, would be a "Clash of the Titans" type of an encounter in the ring.
Anyone of these two fighters can win this fight, if Wilder is the quicker on the draw then he wins, but if Ngannou lands a couple of his bombs then he'll get the win.

The big heavyweight events SHOULD have been AJ/Wilder, Fury/Usyk, AJ/Fury, supplemented with those guys competing 2-3 times a year and consistently going against the likes of Zhang, Makhmudov, Bakole, Joyce, Sanchez, Hrgovic etc etc, so that there was a year round steady stream of interest. If that was the case all this ****** **** wouldnt even be necessary.

Sure its huge. But its huge at the cost of letting a 37 year old from another sport compete yet again against a supposed top 5 HW, in his second ever boxing match, at (officially) 0-1, and have him potentially do better than he should again. How the **** do rankings even work anymore in this situation?

Personally I dont see this as good for boxing though. I'm not even talking about this in a boxing vs MMA way. The shark has been well and truly jumped in the last few years with these gimmick fights. Imagine even a decade ago nobody would have conceived this **** happening, and certainly not that the combat sport playing host to most of it would be boxing ie the oldest, most established and most "respectable sport" - like. It was MMA that was supposed to be the circus WWE thing.
So yeah, the Paul brothers, old MMA fighters etc etc, its making for a few fights a year that generate some degree of mainstream attention, in that moment, in a bubble, and then what? is it really worth it in the long term? imagine when people look back on this era of boxing decades from now, is it gonna look good?
Oh yeah and as for the PFL, they're going to kiss Ngannous ass and let him do whatever, hes by far their biggest signing and the only thing that can really put them on the map in any meaningful way, so they want to keep him sweet in the (probably vain) hope that he will ever actually fight for them.Last edited by TMLT87; 10-31-2023, 08:51 AM.
