Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou •

From a slightly different perspective, even though I'd rather Johsua was fighting Zhang or Hrgovic, I think Ngannou deserves the payday after putting Fury on his ass and arguably deserving the nod.

The Joshua that destroyed Wallin should be too sharp, but would be interesting if Frances connects to see whether AJ retreats into a shell

 

Imagine the IBHOF in 10, 20 years time? There’s going to be YouTubers, white collar boxers and all sorts being voted for.

 

.yes really. He's facing someone who's never won a fight.

 

It’s probably next after Ngannou fight and in fact don’t be surprised to see Hrgovic as the chief supporting bout.

 

Looks like Joshua just take his time now.
He got no reason to be hurry.
He wait to see how division will look after unification.

They still want beat ass of one Gypsy Queen but this fight cant be destroyed in many ways.

I dont blame Joshua. He always give us best opponents and best fight. That's why he lost in his carrer.
Ppl hate on him when he lose learn him excatly that there is no reason to do smth for others.

Ngannou is pretty smart move because again Joshua can show that he is better than fat Gypsy. If he win in good fashion. He should win but he also must remeber that this dude from MMA got really big punching power and there is not place here to make stupid mistake.

 

Please provide a source saying Hrgovic can't fight until the summer.

This guy had an iron chin in kickboxing. He literally had a war with Hunt after getting KTFO by this guy.

 

This fight could be for the WBC International Indigenous African Heavyweight World Championship. An idea Hrgovic and Zhang can rematch on the undercard for the IBF World title Belt with the winner to face AJ vs Ngannou winner.

 

Seriously picking ngannou is a bit of stretching reality since he should have similar chances in boxing aj would have in mma.

But i,m hoping ngannou will shock the world again !

If aj sparks him out hold - yes i will give aj credits for that performance .

 

MMA at championship level is 5 x 5 minutes. This will be 10 x 3 minutes, so not a huge difference.

Taking one to give one against Joshua isn't a terrible strategy: Ruiz pulled it off with aplomb. Ngannou's got more power than Joyce or Ruiz and Joshua doesn't have a Joyce chin or Fury's recovery. Ruiz and Ngannou scored KD's with a left hook counter to the temple.

 

Good cash generator for both and will probably be a great event.

At this point there is no real sporting endeavour in boxing, it's purely prize fighting so best of luck to them all.

 

Chester Hughes could punch: he put Tony Thompson down twice in the 1st round. Prior to Ortiz when Thompson was 44, aside from Hughes only Wlad dropped or stopped Thompson in 49 post-amateur fights and TT got to round 11 in the 1st fight.

Maldonado didn't have an iron chin in MMA (Stipe demolished him in 35 seconds with punches) but he went on to go the distance with some name boxers.

 

I doubt the elbow he took from Fury is anything remotely like the power AJ will deliver in a punch. As for the "roundkicks" Ngannou has taken in MMA I'd like to see them if you have any clips because I've not seen anything to suggest he's ever been hit like AJ can hit him.

 

E.g this vs ciryl gane
