The amount of hate Wlad gets on here sometimes is disturbing. Prime Wlad (2007-2013) was arguably a top 5 most dominating HW champion in history. Hardly lost any rounds! And imo had the sharpest 1-2 in history when he was on. Ngannou goes out for a ten count within 3. Wlad would get the timing within the first couple then a nasty left hook would put francis down while wildly throwing his own.
Fury fanboys are delusional. They are among the most delusional of all boxing fans. Fury fought a 40 year old Wlad. Landed 86 punches in 12 rounds against Wlad who only landed 50. Could you imagine a prime Lennox Lewis, Riddick Bowe, George Foreman etc not knocking out a 40 year old Wlad? Could you imagine any top level heavyweight doing that time going 12 rounds with a 40 year old Wlad and landing less than 100 punches? Hell Foreman was landing over 200 punches against guys like Tommy Morrison even when Foreman was in his 40's
Wlad would absolutely demolish Ngannou. Either left hook or straight right will end the fight, out cold
Nahhh. It would definitely cause trouble and Wlad MIGHT hit the deck or hold on like he did against Peter or the guy that just sent Ngannou into the shadow realm. But Wlad gets up. He’s never been One Hit And That’s It. Now if we were talking about Lewis that MIGHT be possible but we aren’t. Recency Bias from the Fury fight rose ngannou’s stock in boxing wayyyy too much. Fury was under motivated for that one and also isn’t half the puncher Wlad was. The combat sports ‘Boogeyman’ has been debunked. Good puncher yes but not anything Wlad hasn’t seen. And as far as that stupid little UFC Performance Institute machine that proclaimed Ngannou as “The hardest puncher in the Whole world!”…. This content is protected Lol Wlad would probably hit a 220 on it.
LOL Pereira didn't even hit hard that machine, his body mechanics wasn't even close to max level. And yet he set the so-called ''record''.
Wlad is obviously the massive favorite here but Ngannou definitely has a shot here. Fury has a way better chin than Wlad. When humans that big fight, I just can’t be shocked if a guy as strong as Ngannou that puts dudes lights out lands a big one and ends it.
Exactly. I’ve always said take what their machine says with a grain of salt. I think they definitely calibrate it accordingly to push whatever fighters they want to hype a bit. Tom Aspinall clearly hits every bit as hard as Pierre yet scored ****ing 140 points lower???? Lol Come on
It is highly unlikely that Ngannou somehow lands first on Wlad. Wlad wasn't easy to hit even for a world class boxers, let alone boxing novice. Ngannou has very rudimentary defensive skills, he makes Helenius look like defensive genius in comparison. That's why Helenius lasted much longer than Francis against AJ, not because he is 'quicker' or 'has better chin' than Ngannou. And while Wlad is not easy to hit, Ngannou IS. For a world class boxer he is very easy to hit as AJ showed. The fact that Fury looked so bad against Ngannou was due to him being shot/fat/unprepared. 99.9% that Wlad lands first and it is over.
Exactly what one shold expect from soneone who knows nothing about pro boxing. Go make your home on the fight hype board fanboy troll....that's more your swimlane child.
