    So you exclude even a lucky punch?

    Every puncher (especially at HW) has a puncher's chance, even if it's 1%. Which is why the announcement timing was dumb, by all means announce after the Ngannou fight in your victory speech. Announcing it before is tempting fate, even if it's low percentage fate.

    Will Ngannou's power carry over to boxing?

    I assume it won't? But who knows?

    It probably will. I've never seen anyone stand up to it. But he won't beat Fury. Wilder likely hits harder with the right.

    We won't know because he isn't laying a glove on Fury.

    Some people hit harder with smaller gloves than in big gloves and vice versa.

    Probably, but it doesn’t matter. Power punchers are a dime a dozen at HW. There are a lot of journeymen you never heard of out there who hit harder than the current world champions but they are where they are because they lack the skills.

    No.

    Conor McGregor was knocking out fighters in MMA with 4 oz gloves and couldn't even really get floyd's respect with the 8oz gloves.

    Unless Ngannou has sleeper power like Foreman or Shavers, he not doing much of nothing to Fury.

    Fury can take a punch off anyone and survive.
