Sums up money-based boxing rankings pretty well in this fake sport. But I think Joey wasted his potential being obese and forcing himself to fight HW's while being 5'10. He should be SMW-LHW at best.
The WBC is silly, if I recall correctly after the loss to Fury they had him at # 10. An 0-1 fighter at number 10 After the Fury fight I screamed multiple times on here that any HW that has a moderately decent skill set and that could hit a bit would have Ngannou in Hell. That 2nd fight he was in Hell. The problem here is that Joey is my height and 70 lbs more than me, he's a tough guy and can mix it up and has faster hands, but he's not really a hitter, and he's old now. I think the Joey that lost to Amir Mansour could beat Ngannou, Joey fighting him next week would probably get beaten, he has a lot of wear and tear. This honestly is exactly the type of fight Ngannou needs, a tough journeymen that you're gonna have to beat on and go rounds to get the win.
He claimed he was tired and asleep because they fought so late , so he took a nap on the canvas in combination with a refreshing oxygen theraphy after he intercepted aj,s punch with his chin .
Yes, he was standing in front of Joshua like "come on AJ, I'm waiting to be knocked out, hit me with your big right".
Ngannou gave an Oscar worthy performance in that case. The way he was able to get his legs to fold like an accordion was Daniel Day Lewis at his very best.
I mean some wild theorys he could have stayed down after the first KD... To get up and take AJ's power punch full on the chin? Nah not buying it. He walked into a front-foot power puncher and it showed. Fury is a boxer who didn't take the fight seriously and couldn't use his usual size advantages on someone as big a strong as Ngannu. You might favour Ngannu in this but he's 0-2 and probably needs to find an underpowerd undersized heavy to notch a win or maybe someone Problem is with Nagaanu going the distance with Fury and getting the KD give us a weird impression of how good he is. Arguably could have been awarded the win and then obliterated by AJ. He could turn out to be a decent fun heavy or he could loose every fight he has. Needs to matching carefully.
naganoo is a sitting duck in their, and all he does is throw his left hook as soon as you get close and thats reall all he has. just gotta feint him and he doesnt know what to do.
