Isn't Ngannou too told to become a pro boxer at the highest level?

Why would it be a miracle. Joshuas defence is worse than Fury

I'll save this in a quote until after the fight happens, so if I'm right I can ridicule you with it.

If I'm wrong, you can come to my house and f_uck my sister, the mad lad you are

I think your odds of becoming a top ten ceiling pro boxer are greatly diminished if you don't start boxing amateur at 18 lol.

So obviously Ngannou is too old turning pro in his late 30's. BUT you only got one life to live & Ngannou showed in his first pro fight he IS a high level pro boxer. I mean even tho hes 0-1 as a pro idk that anyone else on this planet would drop, not get dropped by & lose by a split decision to the arguable #1 pro boxer at their weight. Sh^t is insane & sounds like a movie plot not real life.

He lost most rounds, as expected. Fury has been floored by a cruiser weight in the past. He's not hard to put down. But he is hard to keep down.

Not sure why Ngannou or anyone thinks Joshuas chin is weak.

He took Wlads best shot and got up and won

The normal rules dont apply now because we are living in the era of all this circus crossover boxing shyt. Back in the day he would have had to spend years building himself up, now he can walk straight into fights with the biggest names in the division at 0-0, so age doesnt matter so much in this environment. Obviously hes not gonna be having a long career though, probably less than 5 fights, but hes making big retirement money and getting himself in the history books as an ATG combat sports athlete.

What are you talking about, there's a Muay Thai fighter named Samart Payakaroon. who trained pure boxing for months and then became WC

but it was still a cross over and while it wouldn't raise eyebrows today, back then Thais were not cross training pure boxing like they do today

He came along at the right time.
A time where the HW div is at it's absolute worst.

Ok lol. Its easy to diminish boxers. Some ppl weirdly live to do that all day here.

But who in their first competitive boxing match fights the (arguably) best guy at their weight drops his that guy, doesn't get dropped & loses a split decision. And a lot of ppl thought he shoulda gotten the decision on top of all that. Regardless tho the unarguable part of this is insane never before done sh^t. I didn't reallllllllllly expect Ngannou to do it & idk who I'd suggest could do something like that again.

Even Pete Rademacher who fought Floyd Patterson in his pro debut & dropped him, got dropped himself & eventually KO'd + had a whole amateur boxing career where he won an Olympic gold medal.

The highlight reel was 6 minutes, he didn't do much beyond that one punch. He's so terrifying that the threat is more powerful than the execution.
