Before tonight's fight, my answer would've been no. Wilder looked like trash. After tonight's fight my answer is hell no. Both Wilder and Francis looked like trash. I would need to see them both get 1-2 solid wins for that to be an even slightly interesting matchup.
Wilder is 1-3-1 with two lost by brutal stoppage in his last 5. He will go up against someone who is 0-1-1. Both have a punchers chance in any fight so why not.
Yes, lets sanction a fight between a 0/2/0 guy with no amateur experience and a top world fighter who happens to be one of the most monstruous punchers in the world. Once he ends in a wheelchair after fighting Wilder, we can sanction another fight vs Zhang, let's see if he finally dies. Stop that ****ing nonsense before we have something to regret. I've said it before. Mayweather took it easy on mcgregor. Fury took it extremely easy on gangnou. But we have seen what happens when a top level boxer takes it seriously. Stop sanctioning this stupid fights because we will witness a disgrace sooner or later if we continue.
I'm not gonna be fickle and now say Ngannou doesnt have a chance against sloppy washed up Wilder. But either way, I dont wanna see it. That was a ****ing nasty KO and it should be the end of crossover fights if not the end of Ngannous entire fighting career. If he comes back at all i'd rather it was in MMA and preferably against Jon Jones who isnt the kind of fighter that will give him more brain trauma.
