    I doubt we'll see Ngannou in the boxing ring again, at least not with an actual boxer, the myth has been busted and fans won't pay to see him in with any of the top heavyweights as they know he'd get sparked out again and he won't get the kind of money he'd want to fight a lower level fighter so it's not worth his time.

    Wilder appears to be the most intriguing fight left for him in Boxing.

    With Mike Tyson in his camp against Fury he did great, but he wasn’t in Ngannou’s camp for the AJ fight

    Ngannou needs to learn how to box and fight non-contenders before he moves up to guys like Wallin and Helenius. If Tyson can teach him how to box, that's great. If not, he needs to get a trainer who can show him the basics.

    BS, Tyson was more like marketing from very start. This panic statement will not rescue big boy Ngannou. His style is efficient against stiff clumsy non powerfull weak boxers like Fury. And that's it.

    Their fight actually reminds me Dubois (Ngannou) vs Gorman (Fury).

    Ngannou needs to enjoy his money.

    People are underrating this guy now only because he was blown out by AJ. I predicted a 2nd round stopage by a counter overhand right by AJ but that doesnt mean Ngannou sux. He could very well beat a guy like Wilder if he takes the swarming high guard tank approach like Chisora.

    He sucks. People just can't comprehend how bad Fury can be when he doesn't show up to fight. He caught Fury at the tail end of a four month bender enjoying the "spoils of war" and still couldn't beat him. He would get outboxed by Otto Wallin.

    Alot of top 50 HW's sucks technically. He is still a beast. I dont want to see him in there with Hughie Fury etc. I want some HW bombs to fly.

    Chisora is not that reactive of a fighter. He is smart aggressive. Ngannou could use that style to his advantages.

    I hate to say this because i gave much hope in ngannou but no .

    Ngannou,s skills appear to be such rudimentary that any top 15 boxer would easily find a gap in his defense and connect .

    Ngannou most probably would have no chance against wilder

    Ngannous the same guy he always was.
    I don't watch the MMA but I pulled up Ngannou-Stipe II. The last 30 seconds of that fight is everything Ngannou did in the AJ fight.
    Left check hook constantly anytime someone comes in. The same up and down bob he did right before AJ dropped him the first time. Exact same guard.
    It was like he learned nothing new. He did what worked against Stipe, and it got him destroyed against an elite boxer.
