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.
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.
Helenius is on tape getting gifted a hometown decision over MMA fighter Sergei Kharitanov in the ammys...
Why are you all still trying to protect AJ? He should be the one fighting Wilder, he's the one ducking the fight.
I get the sense that Ngannou is talented but was carried by a lazy Fury who underestimated him. Ngannou is a proven boxer in MMA, but I think a game Wilder could still give him brain damage. As terrible Wilder’s skills are he has a decent chin against world competition. Ngannou got his money, should probably look to go back to MMA where he can dominate the competition.
