hope he pounds AJ around the ring like a BB in a matchbox!

The more Francis trains the worse he will get.... His strengths come from him not doing what is expected in boxing because he fights like an MMA guy. Once he starts to become an actual boxer he becomes one who is only around 100th in the world.

Ngannou's chin fails him in the 5th round... Boxing isn't like MMA where you might get a few punches to the head every now and again. You are getting hit with hard concussive blows all fight. In boxing there are no rest periods where you get to roll around and cuddle your opponent or put your head between his legs

When he dropped fury, he caught him from an off angle when tysons feet werent set. in other words an embarrassing flash knockdown but tyson wasnt hurt.

all logic says that AJ should be able to win and by KO but AJ has folded mentally before so there is that chance. If he tries to box AJ its over, he has to just go for broke and pressure him.

Ngannou is one of the hardest punchers in the world.

He has a granite chin.

He is 271lbs of solid muscle

He is the physically strongest man in heavyweight boxing

He has good stamina

He's in phenomenal physical shape.

He is confident and comes to win with a warriors mentality.

He's not "around 100 in the world"

Tony Yoka is ranked #27 in the world and Ngannou would beat the absoloutle **** out of him.

Funny. You'd think a sport with 4oz gloves, no counts after a knockdown plus kicks, knees and elbows to the head would be a more meaningful test of someones chin if anything....

I think AJ will stop him, Fury is a real bad yardstick, Wallin Ngannou, AJ destroyed Wallin its now the big fellas turn to face a real straight punching prepared HW boxer.

Joshua is gonna have another Ruiz moment, only this time hes getting knocked out cold. Dunno how watching AJ beating random Swedes and Finns and Jermaine ****ing Franklin is giving some people so much faith that hes a monster again now. Punching people in the face is not rocket science and Joshua is not some master boxer, hes a good athlete who walked into a boxing gym as an adult and always has most or all of the physical advantages over his opponents. Ngannou has the better chin, is stronger both physically and mentally, hits harder and is just overall a bigger genetic freak than AJ, and probably even more juiced up on top of that. AJ is not used to being in that position and is primed to **** the bed in hilarious fashion.

Part of me thinks this fight wont even happen anyway. Ngannou will conveniently get popped for PEDs or something right before and AJ will fight some late replacement bum instead.

Joshua will hit Ngannou harder than Fury did and Ngannou may then think twice .Now that we know he's a serious threat Joshua will be as ready as can be under Ben Davison , I hope Joshua KO's him for the good of boxing and Fury beats Uysk , then the 'fight' we all want to see can happen.

[TreD]

I think Joshua learned a lot about boxing by going 24 championship rounds with Usyk. It's nice that Ngannou is legitimate player; too many are so inactive, the Heavyweight division is on life support.

I hope Ngannou performs well, and AJ gets the KO late.
