Comments Thread For: Froch on Joshua-Ngannou: It's a 50-50 Fight, I Can't Pick a Winner

NG does not hear the bell for the 6th round at the very latest. NG is a good guy but Joshua would send him back to the kiddy-pool of boxing in devastating fashion.

Gotta love how Fury gets thrown under the bus to try and damage control what happened. Reality is Joshua would be at risk against Ngannou too. Hes got more power than Fury but hes also more hittable and chinnier.

So you're saying he'd do worse than old Helenius and Pulev?

With Ngannou's new found confidence, it could either work against him or for him. I agree with Froch that, based on current situation, it could be a toss up. This is how far Joshua has fallen.

We know the blueprint of how to deal with Ngannou now. I would pick Ngannou to do a job on the static Joshua, but I wouldn't count out the fact that Joshua could nail and hurt this guy who doesn't even react to faints .Joshua hits harder than Fury and that just might be the difference , although he has a weaker chin.I would take Wilder to KO Ngannou.

Absolutely. Fury was absurdly out of shape and that was NG's 15 minutes of fame, nothing more.

Fury is just badly faded. He abused his body and his legs are shot so he can't move around like he used to

Joshua may have confidence issues but his punches are still more fluid and he hits harder than Fury too

Joshua steamrolls Ngannou

With Joshuas scary ass style , I can see Ngannou beating him by brutal knockout.

Lol Jesus.

Ngannou would kill both of those dudes, even some of the guys Ngannou has beaten in MMA would have a good shot at beating them.

The mental gymnastics and damage control over an MMA fighter coming in and beating up the consensus no1 HW is pretty damn funny. If he beat AJ or whatever people would still find a way to excuse it.

Don't kid yourself. If that was any other top heavyweight, NG would not have had his 15 minutes of fame. Keep dreaming.

It went from "no MMA fighter could handle anyone in the top 50" to "okay okay, he can drop and arguably beat literally the no1 ranked guy, but everyone else would have beaten him"
