    Yeah, Fury will gas out trying to stop takedown attempts from even prominent Lightheavy weights.

    Had Fury took a similar fight with a Glory kick boxer would it be less embarrassing?

    Vitali was a kick boxer before he was a boxer, why is it different?

    A Glory Kickboxer probably would have knocked out Fury that night.

    Honestly, I can't imagine Wilder, Ruiz or AJ are really clamoring for the Ngannou fight. I think Wilder has a lot to lose and nothing to gain and wouldn't really enjoy being in there with a guy who just physically outmatched a guy in Fury who physically outmatched him twice. Ruiz is just incredibly inactive and holding on for Usyk, Fury, or AJ which won't happen. I think AJ would win in a really fun fight, but it is also too risky to make sense to a guy who has top 3 level fights available amidst the current chaos.

    Usyk would tire him in 5 rounds and finish him in 8

    I nominate Zhang, Makhmudov or Bakole for the job.

    Possible.

    Look at Izzy recent loss to Strickland. He was a semi successful kickboxer and lost to an mma guy as well.

    Experience and belts are all an illusion, in the end it's all about who is more ferocious and violent with focus. The credentials don't matter.

    I think that a lot off MMA fans are going to be surprised when Ngannou is dominated and embarrassed in his next boxing match.

    Zhang would KO him with ease

    All this hate because Fury got his ass beat by a guy in his pro debut and the ONLY reason why the judges gave him a 1 point victory was to not have the whole HW division turned on its head by loss to an MMA guy.

    But it’s happening anyways because we all know the truth: Fury lost that fight.

    The HW division needs this embarrassment because frankly what the hell is it doing? A bunch of giants dodging each other because they’re all afraid to fight? Half of them can’t fight to begin with truth be told. That doesn’t excite people. That’s why most people think the division sucks nowadays and is why outsiders like Ngannou is needed to bring life back into the division.

    Don’t blame Ngannou. Blame how crappy the division is.

    I Blame Fury, not Francis. Francis was simply doing his job.

    Ngannou's stock has massively risen , currently overvalued in my opinion. Yes he knocked fat fury down, but he only averaged 23 punches per round, and his defence was incredibly leaky, and he's abit slow . How is this not an easy fight for Usyk? Avoiding 20 slow and predictable punches a round while Ngannou's defence is wide open.

    Current AJ also outpoints Ngannou easy. Same for Hrgovic, Zhang and most of the rest.

    Wilder gets into a war with him and gets ko'd because Wilder is stupid like that.

    The real question is how does every do against him in a bare knuckle fight?

    Nobody needs to beat him. Because he is already a great boxer he also learned mma very quickly and adjusted very fast to Stipe in the rematch. He is just super talented and can be heavyweight champ In boxing. I think he is too good for anyone to dominate. If he concentrates on boxing I would favour him against Fury for example because he should be able to get a lot better.
