Ngannou in the 1930s heavyweight scene

Yes, Tyson got pretty desperate in there.

There was at least one elbow that was outrageously flagrant and should’ve seen a point deduction at the least.

Fury also got another (see Wilder fight) 23 sec respite after he was dropped and there was contention that there might’ve been another KD that wasn’t officially ruled.

He appeared to be badly stung by almost every half way decent punch Ngannou landed.

Altogether, a nightmare fight for Fury.

Interestingly, after the fight, Ngannou did say that it was the hardest he’d ever been hit.

Per strict boxing definition and standards, Tyson isn’t a puncher per se but of course he can still hit very hard -

The carrot for the fight was big and (apparently) easy money for minimal effort. An optimal risk/reward ratio.

By that time Fury should’ve already been fighting Usyk whom I think Tyson had been
def. stalling on.

 

Yes and get flattened

 

Is this Ngannou on his full roid cycle? Because without them who knows what he would look like or how he would do. Obviously these didn't exist in the 1930s, but if he gets to keep them then he would be at a huge advantage against practically everyone back then. A literal incredible hulk among mortals. Even if your boxing sucks that's hard to beat.

 

The sad thing is his boxing might have been even better than someone like Galento who truly sucked. And lots of guys from that period were haymaker heroes with crap balance and wild swinging that looked like clubfighter anonymous' amateur hour.

 

No he wouldn't you absolute tool. He was barely MMA level boxing standard.

 

Baer and Schmeling would flatten Ngannou. This isn't to depreciate Ngannou, since he's an amazing MMA fighter, but he just isn't a professional boxer.

Also, people read too much into the Fury fight, since Fury treated the fight like a joke and did just enough to collect the payday. Joshua on the other hand took the Ngannou fight seriously and made short work of him.

 

I get it. You're trolling me. Very good.

 

That shows that the era sucked then.

 

I don't have any "anti Galento agenda" lol. He just sucked. Precursor to David Tua FFS. Precursor to Tank Abbott more like.

 

Everyone likes to say he beat Fury until it’s time to match him against 180 pound heavyweights of times passed.

He’d probably be a top ten contender and maybe be near the top of the division if he were allowed to learn how to box.

 

Exactly. Ngannou is a high level athletic specimen, he actually started MMA quite late as well and made it all the way to champ.

In this hypothetical, if we assume he picks up fight sports before his mid 20s, then yes, I think he'd do quite well. His size and appearance alone would scare off most of the boxers of that era.
