Ngannou yes, he was a novice, yes Fury was his first ever professional boxing fight 'But the facts are, he pushed the so called rated number 1 Heavyweight to a extremely close fight. Ngannou decked Fury, and busted him up real good'.
You said it yourself mate, during the aftermath of Ngannou vs Fury 'I saw the tactics you was trying to run, stating that Ngannou would wreck most other Heavyweights and YOU specifically stated that Joshua would get wrecked by Ngannou'.
Tyson Fury no matter which way he turns now, is going to ether run into Usyk, Ngannou, Joshua maybe even Wilder or the entire Heavyweight Division 'There is no easy way out of the game for Fury now'.
Ngannou vs Joshua is a big event, and for me? It has a story and a theme. Joshua is looking to build momentum back in his career, can Ngannou wreck all of these other top Heavyweights? It is a great fight.
You said Ngannou could wreck Joshua, so not sure why you would object to this fight.
Note: I was not particularly interested in the Ngannou vs Fury match up, and made very few comments during the actual build up. You have to give credit to Tyson Fury, in 2015 when Fury beat Wladimir Kiltschko, that win was a catalytic win in the Heavyweight Division 'That win did not just effect Fury, it had a effect upon all the other top Heavyweights coming through. And now? Almost 8 years later, when you really think about it? Ngannou vs Fury was another catalytic boxing event, the Heavyweight division has altered 'Before Ngannou Fury, had been bestowed this seemingly untouchable aura. If Fury did not deem another Heavyweight worthy enough of being able to compete with him? Well then the certain sections of the boxing World in mass, seemed to just concur. Fury would be given credit for fights he never fought, he would be given wins he had never achieved 'It has been unprecedented, I have never witnessed a Champion have this sort of effect upon people'.
I don't think people will bestow him that sort of exemption as a Champion anymore.
If Fury fights Usyk next, the Ngannou will ether fight Joshua or Wilder etc.

With each passing day, we see how desperate Eddie has become. Not a day goes by that he’s not trolling other fighters. He holds the record for the promoter with the most drug cheats. The DAZN experiment has been a total financial failure.
Now then. Since Eddie is desperate to stay relevant in boxing. Ngannou, would be wise to keep training and waiting for his rematch with Fury. Given the fact that Ngannou, took Fury to the limit while making his pro debut, the rematch is far more intriguing and biggest financially. Nothing is even close. Besides AJ, fighting Wilder is even worse financially because Wilder is not a draw at all!
As I previously posted, Hearn is offering AJ as a sacrificial lamb because he has told lthose close to him, that dog doesn’t bite anymore. So Eddie is looking to cash out. Besides, Eddie is an extremely cheap promoter now that his paymaster is counting beans. Needless to say, why would Ngannou want to fight AJ as Eddie will require a rematch and options. This makes no sense. Most important, the Saudi’s only need the fighter, they don’t need a promoter. Ngannou is more valuable if he’s a free agent, because have g a promoter as the middleman, leaves less money for Ngannou.
Francis Ngannou, keep your free agent status, be patient because the Saudi’s want the rematch and will make you wealthy for the rest of your life. The last thing you need is to get tied down into a cheap company like Matchroom.
However, if you can get the AJ fight without any options to Matchroom, take it, But, Eddie knows how fragile AJ is so he needs you instead of the other way around. Don’t get suckered by Eddie, Warren, Arum, or Haymon. Everyone wants to fight you now. Your the straw that stirs the drink. You’re the hottest fighter in the sport. Keep your freedom and tell all these scoundrels of promoters to go eat cake.

You feel since that Whyte fight fell through they are really keen for AJ to fight a name that he should beat that has a bit of hype behind them. There isn't loads. He looks too vulnerable.
Whyte was perfect. He'd have had a punchers chance but no more. AJ would be boxing his head off unless he got hurt - which would have been a possibility.
AJ has had a really good career let's be honest but if you get a beaten fairly comfortably by the top dog in the division twice by definition it makes him an also ran.
Ngannou has appeared as a guy with hype and talented and as strong as he is - AJ could definitely beat him comfortably. It would get the casuals back onside for him.
AJ doesnt need to fight - his motivation comes from within because Im not sure there is a great appetite generally to see him fight anyone other than Wilder but Ngannou has appeared as a viable - easier alternative.
I cant see AJ selling out an 02 arena against anyone at this moment in time.
Hearn isn't dumb the likelihood of AJ facing an ignominious end to his career is in his hands. He can't get taken out by a low profile top 10 heevy in front of a half full O2 Arena. I can't help but think that could happen.
Would love AJ prove me and probably almost everyone wrong. Probably including Eddie!
