    Bowe is 56 now so I think Francis takes it.

    Bowe from the first Golota fight stops Ngannou. Bowe

    Bowe right now loses.

    Boring hypothetical, everyone will say Bowe reflexively despite him never fighting anyone remotely like Ngannou, never fighting anyone as big or nearly as strong, never fighting a puncher more dangerous than chinless cruiser Hide and being prone to underestimation in his own right. There are also many unknowns about Ngannou, we need to see him fight more than one opponent. A far more interesting hypothetical would be Ngannou vs John Ruiz: would Ruiz beat a man he couldn't hug effectively? He didn't beat Valuev over two tries and Valuev didn't have Ngannou's power or athleticism.

    Lol you mean never fighting anyone who has 1 pro boxing fight and who is entirely unproven? If you don’t pick Bowe you don’t know s*** about boxing and if you seriously think John Ruiz beats a prime Bowe you are dreaming.

    This is just a blatant troll, Ngannou looked good in one fight against Fury who looked absolutely hapless and a shell of himself. Bowe smokes Ngannou, there are levels to boxing. Anyone not choosing Bowe knows nothing about the sport.

    Bowe now or back in the day?

    I remember before the Fury fight people were saying 57 year old 5'10 Mike Tyson would do better than Ngannou against Fury. Some genius on here said David Allen would stop Ngannou within 3 rounds lol.

    But anyway, obviously 90s Bowe wins, probably gets the finish. When he was on form he was a terror. Boxers beating MMA fighters in boxing seems like kind of a hollow victory though imo. MMA doesnt ban anything boxers do, boxing bans like 80% of what an MMA guy can do.

    We all expected Fury to whoop Ngannou. I think we need to get serious about this.

    Common sense dictates bowe by a landslide but ngannou is still an unknown mystery to give an educated guess .

    Bow finds it easy to set Ngannou up for the one-two, 90 second massacre LOL.

    Ngannou is nothing special. Fury didn't train.
