    If my Aunty had a ***** she won’t be my Aunty she would be my Uncle! Ngannou cannot and will not defeat AJ who is going to knock him out.

    No one in previous eras had to fight anyone with Ngannou's attributes, whatever his limitations. And we've seen some big upsets, like Wlad being TKO'd by a journeyman who started boxing at 22 with no amateur fights.

    Maybe, but you said the exact same about Usyk x2 and you didn't think Ruiz would thrash AJ either.

    It would be a really bad look for anyone to lose to a novice, just look at how Fury’s standing in the game has plummeted after he got beaten up by Ngannou. One fight shouldn’t define an entire career, but that can be the way it ends up.

    I knew Usyk was a great fighter arguably an all time great but I had tactics to defuse Dr No. AJ beat Ruiz in the rematch by a lot using his Muhammad Ali style. Sir my simple premise on this is that Ngannou will not beat AJ who is back in the zone. You can see the lessons from Derrick James and Ben Davidson setting in.

    "but I had tactics to defuse Dr No"

    It's a shame AJ didn't over 24 rounds!

    Joshua beat 284 lbs 6' Ruiz in a big Saudi ring in the rematch but was terrified of engaging because he was worried about getting hurt and quitting again. He needs to use the Ruiz 2 tactics against Ngannou for my money because he's at serious risk of a KO defeat otherwise.

    All he needs to do is win which he will. In fact I like Ngannou but AJ is going to run the numbers on him and put his lights out.

    Ngannou wont KO joshua. AJ will spark him in a few rounds. Ngannou isnt a good boxer, fury makes wallin and wilder look like world beaters.

    Post fight after Frank knocks him out

    Francis "You are very skillful"

    Bodybuilder "Forget skills. I need strength. You are not more skillful than me. How did you beat me? I need to be strong"

    The Bodybuilder then snatches the Cameroon flag and talks a pile of cap. You guys know the rest

    Joshua has been Unified Champion not just once but twice so of course he gets in the HOF and there is also the fact that he is still fighting and his career is not over so there may well be more accomplishments before he hangs them up.
