    Definitely, Iron Mike can be the new Freddie Roach.

    I would like Ngannou to make some easy money and then go and relax with his family and friends and enjoy life. Boxing is a corrupt sport so it best to get what you can and leave. He is 37 and isn't a boxer and he might get hurt if he tries to go all the way at his age. He isn't always going to have the benefit of fighting a pork belly dosser and after tonight's showing there will be a long line of people that will want to do a better job on him than pork belly

    He trained

    But it was a weight loss camp

    Not a S&C camp.

    His elbows are clearly giving him issues again also. A back to back camp is going to hurt him.

    Usyk & Fury are going to delay this bout I'd bet money on it. Both want to enjoy their final winter before what will be a retirement bout for both.

    Trouble is he's totally unranked so fighting him is not.going to progress anybody save embarrassing Fury as a conman.

    Well he did better than Wlad, Chisora, Whyte and Wilder.
     
    Usyk is the best likes this.

    12 week camp but comes in his heaviest ever with no drive or stamina and is so sloppy with timing and focus well off,and then forgets he’s a boxer and is loading up on every single shot like he’s some sort of puncher that can turn the fight round with one punch. If he has had a 12 week camp and put in a performance like that he’s in trouble with any of the top ten !

    With Saudi money anything is possible. The sheiks looked at Francis like he was their new plaything afterwards, they will set him up with someone else sooner than expected.

    No i'm not saying that. But Ngannou power is beyond overrated. Punching with MMA gloves is one thing, and completely different with Boxing ones. Pulev - Mir was a good example. Pulev looked like huge power puncher, and KO Mir in a second. And Pulev power with Boxing Gloves is nothing really. He had strong jab, but that's it. His right hand has zero on it.

    And Usyk may not hit harder, but he hit 1000x time more, and has tons more speed, and vary his punches 150x time more.
    And tons more stuffs that Usyk knows, and Ngannou don't in Boxing.

    Not against any top guys. I don't want to see anymore of these freak-show fights. I'd rather Ngannou take on some Journeymen level guys to prove he's for real, and then start fighting the top guys, but of course that won't happen. We'll probably be getting Wilder Vs Ngannou next or some BS

    I've seen almost all of Furys fights since he turned Pro and he looked in as good a shape as he's ever done tonight, way better than he did for Wilder 1.
    The Wlad fight was probably the one time he looked moderately in shape.

    With today's performance, Fury put boxing to shame.
    No one can talk about boxing being competitive anymore.
    Boxers can't survive in MMA. but MMA can.
    Now people have no reason to watch boxing.

    He clearly wasn't on top form, but he also clearly lost. If he comes in that shape against Usyk it wont be close. Usyk will make him look silly.
