Joshua vs Ngannou

AJ by however he likes. Depends on Ngannou chin and how much AJ wants to KO him, either way this is over before the 7th.
Going to come here for a good laugher on some prediction on here.

 

If AJ does lose to him, i firmly believe his excuse will be...

You know what bruv, i felt tired in there innit but i can only blame myself, i been having late nights, too many in fact an i should know better, but i was on BN24 reading the boards and i came across this yoga stretching thread, man i need to av a serious word with this guy Frank from Dallas or iz bruvva JR, gotta go, i just got notified he as put another one up!!

 

It's going to be lift off for AJ !!!!


I miss Adam Smith.

 

I think in 10.
IMO the first 4 will be competitive and then Ngannou will show his lack of experience and fatigue will settle in.

 

Strongest heavyweight in the world easily, rag dolled Fury in the clinch, 270 lbs pure muscle.

Hardest recorded punch ever.

Seemingly has an iron chin, never, ever, looked in trouble vs Fury and ate everything.


With these 3 traits alone, he might actually be a top 5 heavyweight right now.

 

remember that Aj was scared to engage little fat Ruiz who was like 300lb and panda armed. Aj has been tkoed stopped once and dropped plenty of times. He doesn't have a glass jaw, but his chin is in the 'solid' level or c grade or 3/5 star chin. It's average. Francis is an attribute fighter, aka he gets off on his genetic gifts, naturally wide and 265'lb, cinderblock head and long arms as well, heavy handed. It's not going to be an easy night for Aj. He needs to bring the Ruiz 2 approach and he's going to have to avoid getting bombed on, because unlike Ruiz, Ngannoiu is in better shape, and has the reach to match AJ. So if Aj was scarred to engage a slower fatter Andy, he's going to be more scarred against a more longer opponent. And i would say Francis eats better shots than Ruiz who Aj failed to take out.

 

Hard to rate a guy off one fight against an overrated has-been.

Is he any harder hitting than Zhang or Bakole? Stronger than Joyce? Better chin than Parker or Joshua?

 

Dunno, but Fury seemed genuinely scared of his power at times.

 

Harder hitting that Zhang/Bakole, maybe, he holds the world record so he has a good chance yes. Stronger than Joyce? In the clinch he must be, the sheer muscle mass on Ngannou is insane and he is trained to be a strong wrestler. His chin looks way better than Joshua's which has a big question mark on it hence why Joshua gets scared and quits or soft-quits eg vs Usyk/Ruiz because he knows he's vulnerable.

 

Yeah and Fury did hit him with some big shots which he ate like they were nothing, sure some people still think Fury doesn't hit that hard but he has knocked out a lot of people.

 

I'm not sure about top 5. Off the top of my head Usyk, Joshua, Zhang, Parker, Joyce, Hrgovic, Ruiz all beat him comfortably. Dubois probably beats him too I think.

He's arguably on the fringes of the top 10. I just think any heavyweight with good power, solid fundamentals and a high work rate drowns him.

 

Ngannou might score some mental points against AJ just for the obvious power he displayed against Fury.

Meaning, it could make AJ that bit reluctant to launch - as Fury was at times - and that could work to Ngannou’s advantage.

Conversely, Ngannou still has to work himself in a match fit fuel tank. Fury’s own fatigue shouldn’t obscure the fact that Francis was very tired himself and launching less as the fight wore on.

IF and when Francis gets through with his first solid connection, it will be interesting to see AJ’s reaction and any possible affect it might have on AJ’s application of himself.

If Francis is stopped, it might well be due to mere fatigue sometime after the 3/4 mark of the fight if not a bit earlier than that.

 

Other than Ruiz and Wlad has anyone else kd Joshua? I ask because Ruiz didn’t KO him and Wlad is a huge puncher. People make it seem like Joshua has a glass chin and Fury has an iron chin but Fury has been put down by boxers he shouldn’t have.
