Could John L Sulivan lick Francis Ngannou?

In a boxing match, almost certainly.

 

Of course and the video footage of Sullivan proves that.

 

Almost certainly could or would?

 

Sullivan never fought a black man and according to him he never shall.

 

What's with this Ngannou threads on a boxing forum?
He's an mma fighter.
Stipe Miocic is gonna end the Ngannou hype.

 

Where do you train I will be free after winter? Why don't we just meet face to face and see who knows what since I know nothing and you tell ppl other than yourself they waste their time? We can have a parody you can don a mustache and I' ll paint myself black?

 

I think that the only people who would have much chance against Sullivan in a boxing match, are other boxers.

 

He was by no means consistent on the point.

 

Except for the World Title Defence against Herbert Slade?

 

He wasn't black

 

Ngannou is supposedly a converted boxer, right? Anyways, boxing is a major aspect of his fighting style.

 

Then you would have to ask how far he got with boxing, and why he didn't stick with it.

 

If the question is "would Sullivan ever have fought a black fighter", then the answer is "he might have done it in certain circumstances".

Like with Jack Dempsey, the narrative is complex on this.

 

Just like we would have to ask, how good a boxer Sullivan really was.
