Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou - Done Deal, On Date TBD In Riyadh

What is it with thinking just cos A-Side beat Oilskin six years ago that he would do it again.

Parker would fùck him up good and proper nowadays.

I'm not averse to a AJ - Parker rematch but I'm a bit jaded by rematches generally unless there's a compelling reason for one. I'd rather see AJ and Parker face fresh opponents personally.

Greedy Belly couldn't even beat a novice and went life and death vs Wallin a guy AJ destroyed in 5. Greedy Belly is grossly overrated and Usyk is about expose once again. AJ ain't limited one-trick pony Wilder with tiny and weak legs.

The Wallin AJ walked through was not the same Wallin Fury went the distance with.

Just like the Parker AJ decisioned 6 years ago isnt the same Parker who disassembled Wilder.

They're 2 and 3 in boxrec behind Usyk and ahead of Fury.
Both have been through the fire with loss and disappointment and come back blazing.

They're tracking towards an inevitable clash and im a no time like the present guy.

It's pretty obvious they're tryna build momentum and clamour for Joshua Vs Fury... Gotta respect the tactics, Joshua dispatched Wallin much better than Fury, if he does the same with Ngannou, then perception will turn back in Joshua's favour for the first time in ages with some...

Plus it's a good fight and great event.

Getting Fury vs Usyk for undisputed, then this a month later. Can't knock it.

Well said, bro. The issue on here is that some folks don't use their thinking faculty or too myopic, it seems.

Looking forward to this one as it should be a 'Fun' fight.

Joshua wants a belt so this is a filler while the orgs make a decision after undisputed has settled.

Remember, the Wilder fight was supposed to be the 'Fun' fight for Joshua.....

Credit to Nngannou. Took him 2 fights to blitz Wilders resume.

Credit to Joshua for taking on a big puncher as apparently he doesn't like them.

If Ngannou makes AJ look bad as well, which is very possible, AJ will get thrown under the bus like Fury did and it'll be "well the 40 year old Chinese dude would have stopped Ngannou in the first round".

The only way AJ comes out of this with his rep in tact is by knockout. A wannabe boxer in Jake Paul is knocking out these MMA fighters ,how can we let our best boxers struggle with them. Joshua has to make an example out of him

I don’t love this fight but those acting like it won’t sell are deluding themselves. The fight against fury when people expected him to get flattened did very well. Now we know he can handle himself in a boxing ring do you honestly not expect this fight to do as well, if not better?

Theres a bit of a difference between the guys Jake Paul is fighting and Ngannou.

I'm pretty sure if Fury fought a retired wrestler with basically zero stand up he would ko them as well.

It's actually surprising how little boxing fans know or understand about MMA, it shouldn't have been so surprising that Francis would do OK in boxing considering he went to the top of the UFC on basically punching ability alone.

The man can punch, legitimately, and has a iron chin and quite fast hands. He's better than most heavyweight boxers.

[Boro]

Fury said he had a good camp, do you know something he doesn't?

Funny how most of you people don't take him seriously, he's nothing but a liar until it fits you narrative.

And him allegeding a good camp equates to him taking him seriously how?
