Oh man, don't tell me Ngannou is better than a pro like Wallin. This could be hilarious.

This is the cheap and easiest way for Hearn to claim Joshua is the best fighter in the world. It gets spoiled though if Usyk beats Fury.

AJ is gonna knock this guy out. Dude was already gassed 5 rounds in the Fury fight

I agree. He doesn’t have the mechanics of a true boxer either.

So how did he make it to the last round if he was gassed in 5? that makes no sense

It actually does ,he caught a second wind but boxing in 10 rounds us very difficult if you’ve actually never boxed before at any level . That’s an achievement,most ppl haven’t ever boxed a round in their life on here but I can tell you if youve never boxed and did 3 rounds no matter what your background is that’s hard even as a MMA fighter the game is different.

Ngannou just moving and thinking and pushing around a huge Fury he was going to slow down that’s just common sense when takedowns aren’t allowed, he’ll be better prepared for this and that’s why fighters in boxing start with limited rounds you dint see them in 10 rounders when they start their career , Ngannou is also all lean muscle like Joshua that’s a big ask ,and in this ine the pace is going to much faster I think the odds are stacked against Ngannou and he’ll slow down and Joshua gets him inside 6 rounds .

If Usyk beats Fury then there's a claim that Usyk and Joshua are the best two in the division.

It's similar to the Fury and Wilder claims of the last few years.
