    Honestly don't even know at this point. Is Wilder durable enough to withstand Ng until he can land his own killshot.

    I think this fight would sell big.

    They could bill it as

    Wilder vs Ngannou
    "No Judges Needed"

    Something like that.

    Would be an exciting match that's for sure, fight could end any second.

    If Wilder has any Boxing IQ, which i doubt though he had to win.
    The thing with Ngannou is, his tactic was spot on. The thing with Wilder is he is stupid asf and doesn't have gameplan, as he is surrounded by Yes man.

    Still even without a proper gameplan i still think WIlder will KO him.
    Ngannou is very static and it's far from being fast both on his hands and his feet.

    Ngannou v AJ could happen, Eddie has brought it up in about 3 interviews since the fight happened.

    He likely under trained for sure. Also the abuse Fury has put his body through just might be showing up now. Fury is not a young 35.

    He needs to treat his body right and train seriously for Usyk or any other top HW.

    Ngannou most likely smokes him.

    Fury is a weight bully, he couldn't do his old tricks against Francis.

    Fury leaned on Francis and he just stood upright lol

    Fury felt Francis' power and did not want to get near him.

    Francis having the world record for hardest punch ever recorded is not a myth, once Fury felt that power, he knew he did not want to get in his kitchen and stayed behind the jab, that is what you saw.

    That solid right hand Fury landed a few times when Wilder lands it Ngannou is going to sleep.

    These are exactly my thoughts. Fury never looks in great shape but tonight he looked worse than ever he didn’t have any resemblance of muscle in his chest arms and shoulders his body was extra sloppy.

    I can beat Piston Honda in 21 seconds flat in Mike Tysons Punch-Out! That must be rigged too!

    Eddie's confidence regarding this fight comes off completely unhinged to me.

    It's almost like he didn't see AJ vs Helenius.

    I know fight math doesn't work like this, and I wouldn't be completely shocked if AJ did him in 3, but this whole AJ stops Ng in 3 thing... who is Eddie fooling.

    Ng is bigger, better, and likely much more durable than Helenious.

    Add to it, AJ is fighting cautious with everyone... you think he's not going to be cautious with a stalking 270lb Ngannou?

    Eddie coming off delusional.

    Lol! :D

    I was confident in Usyk beating Fury before. But now absolutely 100% am. And I think Usyk actually drops Fury doing it too after wearing him out.

    Sorry but thats not sure. Duhaupas took any right of Wilder without going down once. While Fury and Ortiz (and all other Wilder s opponents) werent famous for having good chins.

    Ngannou seems to have a very good chin. If it is similar like Ike Ibeabuch (he reminds me of him), David Tua etc., i think he can take it like Duhaupas did.

    And i could imagine Zhang and especially Hrgovic can take Wilder s right hand too. Filip has imo the best chin from all current HWs right now.
