    Jack Johnson fought in the olden days with gloves like MMA gloves in boxing rings as they did back then and his punching technique looks similat to Ngannou`s on this vid but cleaner, could he have matched Ngannou`s power with MMA gloves?

    Heaps of elite heavyweight boxers punched as hard or harder than Ngannou. George Foreman being one of them.

    I will never forget Ngannou's cowardly scared to fight display against the pathetically skilled Derrick Lewis. LOL.

    No, Ngannou is levels above in technique and power imo

    Ngannou`s punching seems messy though, MMA fighters don`t punch as crisp as boxers.

    Ngannou's punching technique is not levels above Jack Johnson's.
