    I don’t really understand the term crossover fight. To me it implies a mix of rules between two guys from different sports, but in reality it just means a boxer boxing a guy that isn’t a boxer. If Canelo boxed Ronnie O’Sullivan, would that be a crossover fight?

    Agree.

    If it’s to find out who’s the ‘baddest man on the planet’ then eradicate rules and sport and just have a fight.

    It’s like saying who’s the best team in the world by having Man City play a football match against the New Zealand rugby team.

    I reckon Hulk Hogan vs Zhang would be good fun til they gas out, 97 seconds into the fight

    This.

    It's just another way to milk money from casuals. While Ngannou is a professional MMA fighter he's not a professional boxer. Completely different sport. So fighting a champion boxer is just silly. He clearly has no chance. Just like MacGregor had no chance against Mayweather.

    They can hype it all they want. But It's basically a con trick.

    Will probably do good ppv though as there's plenty of mugs out there.

    Raul Moat vs Tyson Fury in the street, anything goes, that would have determined who the baddest man on the planet is, my money would have been on Moat.

    Ferguson KO1 with a brutal one sided stoppage similar to Tyson v Marvis Frazier or Herbie Hide v Damon Reed.

    Would you be interested in watching aj v LeBron at basketball???

    Don't care about any of these why should I. All the boxers determine how the fight lats. If they want it done in a round it will be.
