Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas Praises Ngannou: "His Technique Is Better Than Wilder"

[trippleupper]

Very impressive. Nothing gets passed Teddy. His uncle Joey Two-Toes has better technique than Wilder, but the man does know how to put you on your ***.

What's impressive is writing a whole article from a one-line quote

'Cos Ng once invited him to better his boxing, and now that Francis's rich, Atlas hopes for another paycheque.

But can you argue his observation with technical arguments? Has Wilder ever shown technical abilities that are better than what Francis Ngannou showed in his very first professional boxing fight? Not to talk about Francis Ngannou's strength and power he used to deal with greatest weight bully in the history of the sport. Greedy Belly used his weight to wear Wilder down is 3 just rounds.

So much of it is size.

ngannou at 271 lbs almost pure muscle can just subtly throw a short hook and drop FURY.

Wilder at 220 lbs has to throw punches like a pitcher to compensate for his lack of weight behind his punches.

You actually can. Wilder is an Olympic Medalist y'all know that right? I get his stance on certain topics probably doesn't align with many here but y'all are letting it cloud everything.

Yet wilder would KO cold inside of 3 rounds. Not sure why wilder is hated on so much. What he’s achieved given his skill level and small size for the weight is remarkable.

Lol based on what?

The amount of mental gymnastics after Ngannou/Fury is hilarious. Fury beat the **** out of Wilder repeatedly.

…not sure what you’re point is here. Yes, Fury is clearly better than Wilder, but Wilder is still the 2nd best HW. He would obviously demolish Nganou in a boxing match.

'Technique' is a strange choice of word.

Wilder's technique is absolutely perfect for the way he fights. He delivers his punch with speed and devastating power.

'Boxing fundamentals' might have been a better term? Well it's been a long time since we saw Wilder bother with them. No idea if he actually can box at a high level but I'd suggest it wouldn't be to a high standard. But that's not what made him a wealthy man.

Didn’t we know this already ? It’s not breaking news anyone with two eyes can see that going into the Fury fight . The main thing was Ngannou lack of ring experience which ultimately saved Fury that’s how overatted that guy is .

Exactly. Ask Helenius, Ortiz, Szpilka and the rest how bad his technique is with the right hand
