Comments Thread For: Ngannou: Wilder Better Get it Together, I Want That Name on My Record!

[TMLT87]

An MMA fighter is going to be the guy who ends up fighting all 3 of the biggest names of this HW era. Says a lot.

Take the money and shut the fück up is my advice to Ngannou.

This fight, his last fight and his next fight are all exhibitions. Moneygrabbing circus sideshows that are meaningless in a boxing context.

Once the novelty wears off he'll disappear with his millions and the real boxers will get back to boxing.

Looking forward to the day...

I don't know if Wilder can come back from the head/brain injuries. Something would have to dramatically change. If he does it will probably be years down the road, the brain heals slowly. Further blows to the head would increase damage. Not a good idea. I love him but it's probably best that he hangs the gloves up.

What proof do you have that he suffered head and brain injuries? That’s bullshit! If that was true then he would have never been cleared to fight in the first place.

Also, brain injuries don’t heal. Once the body start losing brain cells they never grow back.

The brain has a tendency to rewire itself in order to compensate for the lost cells.

hes already had one autopsy so he really living on borrowed time

Really though? He has had an autopsy or do you mean a biopsy?

[KillaMane26]

No proof beyond observation during those fights and after. Wilder unfortunately shows the symptoms and patterns typical of brain injury. Age might be a factor also. I'm a big Wilder fan, it hurts to see it.

Brain cells don't grow back but new ones can grow and replace damaged cells. With time, mental stimulation, and some blessings/luck, full or nearly full recovery can happen. Rest and recovery over time is huge. More injury can be devastating. Being "cleared to fight" focuses on bare minimums and is subjective. Twenty doctors would probably give opinions all over the map, particularly when it's a person's livelihood.

The "rewiring" is greatly aided and accomplished by the development of new brain cells. It's a tough situation and I'm just sharing my opinion. I would always err on the side of safety for the long term (for Wilder or anyone else).

There’s a handful of guys who would always be all wrong for him…..Fury , Joshua , Hrgovic, Usyk and Ngannou . I think Joyce is a 50/50 fight Parker still a 50/50 despite him losing every round bc Parker is still making amateur mistakes and Zhang could get caught ? If he’s smart he’d look for the less mobile , least active fighter with a name and that happens to be Ruiz right now or even a Hughie Fury who’s probably even safer bet lacking power .


There’s reasons why he hasn’t fought most of these guys and the ones he did he lost to . Ngannou is just all wrong for Wilder , to big physically strong , takes a punch and is a better technical fighter it has disaster written all over it for Wilder . After Joshua defeats Ngganou I find it hard to imagine Wilder vs Ngannou happens ever anyway , if Wilder is to remain relevant he needs to fight the other mentioned guys , I only see this happening if one of the belts are available but what sanctions would do Wilder vs Ngannou for a title ?

And he will lose all 3. That is only money talking it has nothing to do with boxing.

Dont think he necessarily will tbh. He was arguably robbed vs Fury already and both AJ and Wilder are much more defensively vulnerable and less sturdy than Fury is.

Not sure how it has nothing to do with boxing when its literal current world champions and top 5 ranked boxers fighting him either.
