I rewatched Ngannou vs Fury and Joshua vs Wallin today, to try and gauge how this could unfold. Firstly, I was taken aback again by just how solidly built and muscular Ngannou was in that fight, and it is the first time I have ever seen Fury looking clearly so inferior in terms of physical strength; he just couldn’t afford to try and wrestle and maul Ngannou as he was being severely rag dolled. Ngannou is just so tough, powerful, compact, and he is an absolute tank, whose physical strength is otherworldly. I actually thought that Fury put in a good performance, considering how physically overmatched he was, against a very tough fighter.
Joshua looked both slick and powerful against Wallin, but if he can’t hurt or deter Ngannou, it is going to be a very hard night’s work for him, as Ngannou is much stronger physically, hits ridiculously hard, has excellent punch resistance and keeps his shape very well.
personally, I don’t see Joshua stopping him, but he is good enough a boxer to keep his distance and gain a decision. He also punches hard enough to keep Ngannou honest, but then again, Ngannou is teak tough and not afraid of a fight.

All true. But....
The world is full of bodybuilders who make Ngannou look like a stick man. And it's loaded with powerlifters who make him seem weak. But few of them can fight, much less Box at a world level. Whatever Ngannou ends up doing right in the ring, it's because he's a boxer, and always has been.
He's just been using it to beat up wrestlers & kickboxers in order to gain experience.
