    I'd love to see Wilder against Makhmudov or any of the up and coming guys. For that matter, the same goes for Ruiz and Joshua. It's time the old guard defend their turf or move out of the way

    Joyce Vs Dubois re-match.

    They have a history.

    Both coming off definitive losses.

    Both still well ranked.

    A good fight to gauge who's declined the most.

    Wilder Ruiz should've happened this year
    Zhang v Hrgovic rematch
    AJ v Wallin
    Parker v McKean would be a good for the Aussie NZ rivalry

    This is what MMA is saying about boxing now

    And guess what the whole world agrees with them and let's be real who can blame them?

    ''Francis Ngannou proved that boxing is not a real sport''

    ''My entire life I have respected boxing, and to find out that boxing is fake''

    ''You cannot be a real sport''

    ''This is the second time I've seen the best in the world in boxing get beaten up by a guy with zero experience''

    ''One of them was a drunk cokehead (Sugar ''Money'' Mac) and still beat the hell out of the greatest boxer who ever lived (Floyd)''

    --Former UFC MW champ Chael P. Sonnen

    ''Some of the hardcore boxing fans are losing their mind right now. Hilarious.

    “Oh yeah, book Francis vs Hrgovic or Zhang and see how that goes?!”

    Or it’s: “Fury had an off night.” Wut. He just did that to the champ after months of y’all dissecting open workout footage and telling us the MMA champ was a chump.

    Sit down. Take the L. It will be ok''





    Even I, Serge, someone who loves seeing MMA humble boxing, am sickened at how smug and cocky the MMA community are acting now after the Ngannou vs Belly debacle

    Thank you, Floyd. Thank you, Belly :facepalm:

    In answer to your question, assuming this is true

    Apparently, Ngannou has been offered the December 23rd date in Saudi and allegedly the two leading opponents for him for that date are Big Bang Zhang and J-Park

    If it is true, I want to see Ngannou vs Big Bang Zhang. I want to see a 40 y/o Chinese HW salvage the reputation of our sport.

    Some feel Ngannou just got lucky against a Belly who took him lightly and had no idea what he was preparing for and that his huge event win was a fluke. However, if he were to beat a murderous punching high skilled man mountain like Big Bang in his second pro fight that would 1. prove it wasn't and MMA really is >>> boxing under boxing rules and 2. it would be quite a feat because Big Bang ain't gonna be scared to let his bombs go

    Don't forget, if Francis were to beat Big Bang that would make him the WBO Interim champion, thus making him a mandatory for Usyk, or seeing him be elevated to champion after the belts become vacant. Personally in a fight between Francis and Zhang I'd back Big Bang all the way, like I always do, but I'd be very intrigued at the notion of seeing the first person to be a champion in both MMA and boxing. Be a hell of a fight either way, so I'm hoping it happens.

    Also if this fight happens, it'll mean that in the year 2023, the heavyweight division was largely carried by a 40 year old Chinese man and a former MMA fighter. If that doesn't say a lot about these guys and their willingness to fight each other, what the **** does :lol:

    Yes of course. I forgot about Big Bang being the interim champ. That's a big incentive for Ngannou to take that fight

    Me too. I think Big Bang would knock him senseless but I'd love to see that fight

    :lol: Yes, that would be hilarious if it happens

    I honestly no longer care. I still want Usyk to pick up the WBC belt, but I honestly hope Fury retires and they allow Usyk to fight someone else for it.
