I rewatched the Fury vs. N'Gannou, I still think Fury just won but in round 8 or 9 it appeared N'Gannou might have dropped Fury a second time which wasn't counted. That would have made the fight very close. Anyway I don't think Fury looked too far below par against N'Gannou, not as fit as he possibly could be but he never is. So with N'Gannou, he seems to be able to feint, bang, has reach, power and a decent chin. As bad as Fury may have been vs. N'Gannou, I couldn't see him struggling that much with Helenius. I think potentially that N'Gannou could cause AJ trouble. AJ has shown a glass chin in the past and pure composure when hurt. What do people think, could he beat AJ, win or lose that could he rebound and fight and/or beat Wilder. How far will it go for him. Will he just be 0-3 or 0-4 get spanked now and just be a flash in the pan or will he be a legitimate contender.
I no exaggeration feel Ngannou would hospitalize this present version of Wilder. However, I think that is a likely next fight, Ngannou winning or losing against AJ.
Ngannou might beat AJ but I give AJ a 65/35 edge though. Usyk would school Ngannou. In five fights? I don't even know if Ngannou will have more than 2 boxing fights, if Ngannou does beat AJ then the heavyweight landscape has basically been randomly generated.
I don't think he'll have 5 fights. He's pretty old and in it for the big paydays, and those are basically Fury and AJ at this point. I also think AJ will beat him, so the hype/mystique will diminish, but that'll be fine because I don't really know what he'd do after AJ even if he won. Maybe a Fury rematch, but that's probably it.
I doubt Ngannou will have 5 more fights. He'll fight AJ, lose on the scorecards and maybe get one more big money fight before calling it a day. There's only so much you can do with zero wins under your belt.
To the causals and MMA fans Ngannou/Wilder would still be a massive fight. Most of them wanted to see Francis against Wilder than AJ. Like I said earlier, win or lose against AJ, the Wilder fight is happening next and Wilder will take it as he'll know it's his last big PPV.
I can see him possibly being competitive with AJ. AJ may just destroy N'Gannou but with the reach and power N'Gannou has I see it being a hard fight.
According to the odds, Joshua has an 80% chance of winning and probably by stoppage. If that happens, I doubt Ngannou gets to five fights. Would Fury rematch an 0-2 Ngannou? I somewhat doubt it. If Ngannou beats Joshua it's a very different situation. Ngannou would surely have a rematch with Joshua and if he won that (he'd be close to even odds or favoured in a rematch), then he's a top contender and an even bigger mega money fight. In that scenario I guess he rematches Fury for his fourth fight, whether Fury beat Usyk or not. Maybe Fury retires post-Usyk though, in which case I reckon Ngannou would fight someone else for a vacant title. He'd have to be highly ranked with all of the sanctioning bodies coming off a SD loss to Fury and two wins over Joshua, so he'd have his pick of who he wanted to fight. It's conceivable that Ngannou could accomplish a great deal in five fights and also conceivable that he'll finish 0-2 or 0-3. Just beating Joshua in his next fight would make him a fairly significant figure in heavyweight history and the most successful 0-1 and 1-1 boxer of all time.
Highly doubt hes gonna have 5 more fights unless that includes MMA as well, and even then maybe not. After AJ theres the Wilder fight and thats it probably.
He'll have one more fight, and against AJ he'll be sparked out and that will be the end of his boxing career
They would school each other . Usyk would school ngannou about boxing technique , footwork and ring iq . ngannou would school usyk about punching power , body strenght , being a man and having big balls . Here ngannou would school usyk and usyk,s wife .
