    Styles makes fights and triangle theorys don't.
    Just think AJ would be "up for this one" and he would of been with James for much longer by then. He would also see it as an opportunity to level the playing field a bit more with Fury.
    If I was MR matchmaker Ngannu would be top of my list

    Yep, boxing fans do like to chuck that one out there about triangle theories not working, before it's convenient for themselves. I hope your consistent, mate.

    He would receive massive credit for doing better than Fury you dishonest coward. Yet you want to see AJ fight double hip replacement literally shot Charr instead.

    Franklin is rubbish compared to Ngannou, hence he didn't stop Pavel Sour and had a 50-50 with Whyte, who couldn't lay a glove on Fury and got one-punched.

    AJ's got no confidence in James, just as he didn't with McCracken by the end or Garcia. He just saw James' two marquee fighters get whooped and knows he's more vulnerable than Spence and Charlo.

    MR's actual matchmakers will duck Ngannou because they know he likely beats Joshua. I give them a bit of credit.

    So let me get this right. AJ should get massive credit if he beats Ngannou but Ngannou is crap an not better than people like Takam, Franklin, Molina etc?

    Can't have it both ways

    I said he should receive credit from the people who are saying Ngannou would have success against him and those saying that Joshua would duck Ngannou because he's too dangerous.

    Why are you talking as if Joshua has already beat him? He hasn't and at the moment Joshua is a shadow of his former self, which wasn't even that great to begin with. When Joshua fights a live body again let me know.

    Ngannou will beat Joshua if Joshua doesn't duck. Imagine untrained 6', 284 lbs Ruiz trying to close down tall athletic kickboxer Gane. Gane scraped the first two rounds against Ngannou on kicks more than anything. Joshua would run for his life and Ngannou would find him.

    Joshua was sold by Hearn as the next Ali and the reality is he was never any better than a prime Danny Williams.

    Bought a World Title belt from Charles Martin and the defences were softer than a 90 year old man's pecker until the two Usyk fights.

    Never rated Joshua from the 2nd round of the fight against a very limited slugger Whyte and many on the forum could see his limitations would be badly exposed in a 50/50 match up.

    I only expect Joshua to keep fighting stiffs then a rematch against below British level Whyte who was really exposed at Wembley against Fury.

    Both Whyte and Joshua made a fortune on the back of Hearn's sly spin, lies and very low threat matchmaking.

    Ngannou will walk right through Joshua as would Bakole and Wilder - that is why he will never fight any of them.

    AJ wins easily. Because Ngannou isn’t a boxer. He will prepare in a correct way (unlike Fury)

    FYI. Fury would beat him easily in a rematch also.

    Good discussion chaps.

    Ngannou was manhandling a twenty stone gypsy tank in the clinches, so considering Joshua got bullied about on the inside by a feather fisted little cruiserweight midget for twenty four rounds, he'd be thrown about the ring like a discarded chip wrapper by the teak tough cameroonian.

    I think any top ten boxer demolishes Ngannou, Fury came in so over weight, no training, unmotivated, expecting an easy night and came totally unstuck, a boxer who takes it seriously will just dance round him for 12 rounds or potentially finish him off.

    None of these plodders can dance around anybody

    "I think any top ten boxer demolishes Ngannou, a boxer who takes it seriously will just dance round him for 12 rounds or potentially finish him off."

    This is a crazy take at this point.

    "26-0 Maldonado (MMA record 28-17) had been KO’d in 35 seconds by Miocic in MMA but he went on to go the 10 round distance with Rivas and Takam in boxing. By contrast, Miocic wasn’t able to seriously hurt, drop or stop Ngannou over two fights and 36 minutes in 4oz gloves, despite landing 82 strikes (UFC stats)"
